Graph coloring is one of the most studied problems in graph theory due to its important applications in task scheduling and pattern recognition. The main aim of the problem is to assign colors to the elements of a graph such as vertices and/or edges subject to certain constraints. The 1-harmonious coloring is a kind of vertex coloring such that the color pairs of end vertices of every edge are different only for adjacent edges and the optimal constraint that the least number of colors is to be used. In this paper, we investigate the graphs in which we attain the sharp bound on 1-harmonious coloring. Our investigation consists of a collection of basic graphs like a complete graph, wheel, star, tree, fan, and interconnection networks such as a mesh-derived network, generalized honeycomb network, complete multipartite graph, butterfly, and Benes networks. We also give a systematic and elegant way of coloring for these structures.

For given graphs G1,G2,…,Gn and any integer j, the size of the multipartite Ramsey number mj(G1,G2,…,Gn) is the smallest positive integer t such that any n-coloring of the edges of Kj×t contains a monochromatic copy of Gi in color i for some i, 1≤i≤n, where Kj×t denotes the complete multipartite graph having j classes with t vertices per each class. In this paper, we computed the size of the multipartite Ramsey numbers mj(K1,2,P4,nK2) for any j,n≥2 and mj(nK2,C7), for any j≤4 and n≥2.

Permutation decoding method developed by MacWilliams and described in [Permutation decoding of systematic codes, Bell Syst. Tech. J. 43 (1964) 485–505] is a decoding technique that uses a subset of the automorphism group of the code called a PD-set. The complexity of the permutation decoding algorithm depends on the size of the PD-set and finding a minimal PD-set for an error correcting code is a hard problem. In this paper we examine binary codes from the complete-multipartite graph [Formula: see text] and find PD-sets for all values of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Further we show that these PD-sets are minimal when [Formula: see text] is odd and [Formula: see text].

The energy of a graph is defined as the sum of the absolute values of all eigenvalues of the graph. Akbari et al. [S. Akbari, E. Ghorbani, and M. Oboudi. Edge addition, singular values, and energy of graphs and matrices. {\em Linear Algebra Appl.}, 430:2192--2199, 2009.] proved that for a complete multipartite graph $K_{t_1 ,\ldots,t_k}$, if $t_i\geq 2 \ (i=1,\ldots,k)$, then deleting any edge will increase the energy. A natural question is how the energy changes when $\min\{t_1 ,\ldots,t_k\}=1$. In this paper, a new method to study the energy of graph is explored. As an application of this new method, the above natural question is answered and it is completely determined how the energy of a complete multipartite graph changes when one edge is removed.
