Let G 1 and G 2 be disjoint copies of a graph G and g : V ( G 1 ) → V ( G 2 ) be a function. A functigraph F G consists of the vertex set V ( G 1 ) ∪ V ( G 2 ) and the edge set E ( G 1 ) ∪ E ( G 2 ) ∪ { u v : g ( u ) = v } . In this paper, we extend the study of distinguishing numbers of a graph to its functigraph. We discuss the behavior of distinguishing number in passing from G to F G and find its sharp lower and upper bounds. We also discuss the distinguishing number of functigraphs of complete graphs and join graphs.

AbstractFor a (molecular) graph G with vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G), the first Zagreb index of G is defined as, where dG(vi) is the degree of vertex vi in G. Recently Xu et al. introduced two graphical invariantsandnamed as first multiplicative Zagreb coindex and second multiplicative Zagreb coindex, respectively. The Narumi-Katayama index of a graph G, denoted by NK(G), is equal to the product of the degrees of the vertices of G, that is, NK(G) =. The irregularity index t(G) of G is defined as the number of distinct terms in the degree sequence of G. In this paper, we give some lower and upper bounds on the first Zagreb index M1(G) of graphs and trees in terms of number of vertices, irregularity index, maxi- mum degree, and characterize the extremal graphs. Moreover, we obtain some lower and upper bounds on the (first and second) multiplicative Zagreb coindices of graphs and characterize the extremal graphs. Finally, we present some relations between first Zagreb index and Narumi-Katayama index, and (first and second) multiplicative Zagreb index and coindices of graphs.

A hypergraph H = ( V , ε ) is a pair consisting of a vertex set V , and a set ε of subsets (the hyperedges of H ) of V . A hypergraph H is r -uniform if all the hyperedges of H have the same cardinality r . Let H be an r -uniform hypergraph, we generalize the concept of trees for r -uniform hypergraphs. We say that an r -uniform hypergraph H is a generalized hypertree ( G H T ) if H is disconnected after removing any hyperedge E , and the number of components of G H T − E is a fixed value k   ( 2 ≤ k ≤ r ) . We focus on the case that G H T − E has exactly two components. An edge-minimal G H T is a G H T whose edge set is minimal with respect to inclusion. After considering these definitions, we show that an r -uniform G H T on n vertices has at least 2 n / ( r + 1 ) edges and it has at most n − r + 1 edges if r ≥ 3   and   n ≥ 3 , and the lower and upper bounds on the edge number are sharp. We then discuss the case that G H T − E has exactly k   ( 2 ≤ k ≤ r − 1 ) components.

This paper considers an infection spreading in a graph; a vertex gets infected if at least two of its neighbors are infected. The $P_3$-hull number is the minimum size of a vertex set that eventually infects the whole graph. In the specific case of the Kneser graph $K(n,k)$, with $n\ge 2k+1$, an infection spreading on the family of $k$-sets of an $n$-set is considered. A set is infected whenever two sets disjoint from it are infected. We compute the exact value of the $P_3$-hull number of $K(n,k)$ for $n>2k+1$. For $n = 2k+1$, using graph homomorphisms from the Knesser graph to the Hypercube, we give lower and upper bounds.

The [Formula: see text]-cube graph or hypercube [Formula: see text] is the graph whose vertex set is the set of all [Formula: see text]-dimensional Boolean vectors, two vertices being joined if and only if they differ in exactly one co-ordinate. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the signed domination number of this hypercube graphs. In this paper, signed domination number [Formula: see text]-cube graph for odd [Formula: see text] is found and the lower and upper bounds of hypercube for even [Formula: see text] are found.

Let G = G 1 × G 2 × ⋯ × G m be the strong product of simple, finite connected graphs, and let ϕ : ℕ ⟶ 0 , ∞ be an increasing function. We consider the action of generalized maximal operator M G ϕ on ℓ p spaces. We determine the exact value of ℓ p -quasi-norm of M G ϕ for the case when G is strong product of complete graphs, where 0 < p ≤ 1 . However, lower and upper bounds of ℓ p -norm have been determined when 1 < p < ∞ . Finally, we computed the lower and upper bounds of M G ϕ p when G is strong product of arbitrary graphs, where 0 < p ≤ 1 .

In this paper, the lower and upper bounds of the forcing total dr-power dominationnumber of any graph are determined. Total dr-power domination number of some special graphs such as complete graphs, star, fan and wheel graphs are shown. Moreover, the forcing total dr-power domination number of these graphs, together with paths and cycles, are determined.

Let k ≥ 1 be an integer and G be a simple and finite graph with vertex set V(G). A signed double Roman k-dominating function (SDRkDF) on a graph G is a function f:V(G) → {−1,1,2,3} such that (i) every vertex v with f(v) = −1 is adjacent to at least two vertices assigned a 2 or to at least one vertex w with f(w) = 3, (ii) every vertex v with f(v) = 1 is adjacent to at least one vertex w with f(w) ≥ 2 and (iii) ∑u∈N[v]f(u) ≥ k holds for any vertex v. The weight of a SDRkDF f is ∑u∈V(G) f(u), and the minimum weight of a SDRkDF is the signed double Roman k-domination number γksdR(G) of G. In this paper, we investigate the signed double Roman k-domination number of trees. In particular, we present lower and upper bounds on γksdR(T) for 2 ≤ k ≤ 6 and classify all extremal trees.

Let G be a graph with vertex set V=(v1,v2,…,vn). Let δ(vi) be the degree of the vertex vi∈V. If the vertices vi1,vi2,…,vih+1 form a path of length h≥1 in the graph G, then the hth order Randić index Rh of G is defined as the sum of the terms 1/δ(vi1)δ(vi2)⋯δ(vih+1) over all paths of length h contained (as subgraphs) in G. Lower and upper bounds for Rh, in terms of the vertex degree sequence of its factors, are obtained for corona product graphs. Moreover, closed formulas are obtained when the factors are regular graphs.

<abstract><p>Let $ G $ be a graph with vertex set $ V(G) $. A function $ f:V(G)\rightarrow \{0, 1, 2\} $ is a Roman dominating function on $ G $ if every vertex $ v\in V(G) $ for which $ f(v) = 0 $ is adjacent to at least one vertex $ u\in V(G) $ such that $ f(u) = 2 $. The Roman domination number of $ G $ is the minimum weight $ \omega(f) = \sum_{x\in V(G)}f(x) $ among all Roman dominating functions $ f $ on $ G $. In this article we study the Roman domination number of direct product graphs and rooted product graphs. Specifically, we give several tight lower and upper bounds for the Roman domination number of direct product graphs involving some parameters of the factors, which include the domination, (total) Roman domination, and packing numbers among others. On the other hand, we prove that the Roman domination number of rooted product graphs can attain only three possible values, which depend on the order, the domination number, and the Roman domination number of the factors in the product. In addition, theoretical characterizations of the classes of rooted product graphs achieving each of these three possible values are given.</p></abstract>

Let G be a graph with vertex set V G and edge set E G . Let d u denote the degree of vertex u ∈ V G . The geometric-arithmetic index of G is defined as GA G = ∑ u v ∈ E G 2 d u d v / d u + d v . In this paper, we obtain some new lower and upper bounds for the geometric-arithmetic index and improve some known bounds. Moreover, we investigate the relationships between geometric-arithmetic index and several other topological indices.
