In this paper we study several problems concerning the number of homomorphisms of trees. We begin with an algorithm for the number of homomorphisms from a tree to any graph. By using this algorithm and some transformations on trees, we study various extremal problems about the number of homomorphisms of trees. These applications include a far reaching generalization and a dual of Bollobás and Tyomkyn's result concerning the number of walks in trees.Some other main results of the paper are the following. Denote by $\hom(H,G)$ the number of homomorphisms from a graph $H$ to a graph $G$. For any tree $T_m$ on $m$ vertices we give a general lower bound for $\hom(T_m,G)$ by certain entropies of Markov chains defined on the graph $G$. As a particular case, we show that for any graph $G$, $$\exp(H_{\lambda}(G))\lambda^{m-1}\leq\hom(T_m,G),$$ where $\lambda$ is the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of $G$ and $H_{\lambda}(G)$ is a certain constant depending only on $G$ which we call the spectral entropy of $G$. We also show that if $T_m$ is any fixed tree and$$\hom(T_m,P_n)>\hom(T_m,T_n),$$for some tree $T_n$ on $n$ vertices, then $T_n$ must be the tree obtained from a path $P_{n-1}$ by attaching a pendant vertex to the second vertex of $P_{n-1}$.All the results together enable us to show that among all trees with fixed number of vertices, the path graph has the fewest number of endomorphisms while the star graph has the most.

The strong local metric dimension is the development result of a strong metric dimension study, one of the study topics in graph theory. Some of graphs that have been discovered about strong local metric dimension are path graph, star graph, complete graph, cycle graphs, and the result corona product graph. In the previous study have been built about strong local metric dimensions of corona product graph. The purpose of this research is to determine the strong local metric dimension of cartesian product graph between any connected graph G and H, denoted by dimsl (G x H). In this research, local metric dimension of G x H is influenced by local strong metric dimension of graph G and local strong metric dimension of graph H. Graph G and graph H has at least two order.

A total k-labeling is a function fe from the edge set to first natural number ke and a function fv from the vertex set to non negative even number up to 2kv, where k=maxke,2kv. A vertex irregular reflexivek-labeling of a simple, undirected, and finite graph G is total k-labeling, if for every two different vertices x and x′ of G, wtx≠wtx′, where wtx=fvx+Σxy∈EGfexy. The minimum k for graph G which has a vertex irregular reflexive k-labeling is called the reflexive vertex strength of the graph G, denoted by rvsG. In this paper, we determined the exact value of the reflexive vertex strength of any graph with pendant vertex which is useful to analyse the reflexive vertex strength on sunlet graph, helm graph, subdivided star graph, and broom graph.

Let G be a graph, for any real 0≤α≤1, Nikiforov defines the matrix Aα(G) as Aα(G)=αD(G)+(1−α)A(G), where A(G) and D(G) are the adjacency matrix and diagonal matrix of degrees of the vertices of G. This paper presents some extremal results about the spectral radius ρα(G) of the matrix Aα(G). In particular, we give a lower bound on the spectral radius ρα(G) in terms of order and independence number. In addition, we obtain an upper bound for the spectral radius ρα(G) in terms of order and minimal degree. Furthermore, for n>l>0 and 1≤p≤⌊n−l2⌋, let Gp≅Kl∨(Kp∪Kn−p−l) be the graph obtained from the graphs Kl and Kp∪Kn−p−l and edges connecting each vertex of Kl with every vertex of Kp∪Kn−p−l. We prove that ρα(Gp+1)<ρα(Gp) for 1≤p≤⌊n−l2⌋−1.

We consider a finite undirected and connected simple graph  with vertex set  and edge set .We calculated the general formulas of the spectra of a cycle graph and path graph. In this discussion we are interested in the adjacency matrix, Laplacian matrix, signless Laplacian matrix, normalized Laplacian matrix, and seidel adjacency matrix.

AbstractIn this paper we determine the lower bound on |z| = r < 1 for the functional Re{αp(z) + β zp′(z)/p(z)}, α ≧0, β ≧ 0, over the class Pk (A, B). By means of this result, sharp bounds for |F(z)|, |F',(z)| in the family and the radius of convexity for are obtained. Furthermore, we establish the radius of starlikness of order β, 0 ≦ β < 1, for the functions F(z) = λf(Z) + (1-λ) zf′ (Z), |z| < 1, where ∞ < λ <1, and .

We propose a new scheduling algorithm for a three-dimensional grid precedence graph of size n, and we prove that the communication overhead is just in Θ( log log n). Finally, we show that a lower bound for the overhead of any schedule with a fixed number of processors (p ≥ 3) is Ω( log log n).

We investigate the efficiency of simulations of storages by several counters. A simulation of a pushdown store is described which is optimal in the sense that reducing the number of counters of a simulator leads to an increase in time complexity. The lower bound also establishes a tight counter hierarchy in exponential time. Then we turn to simulations of a set of counters by a different number of counters. We improve and generalize a known simulation in polynomial time. Greibach has shown that adding s + 1 counters increases the power of machines working in time ns. Using a new family of languages we show here a tight hierarchy result for machines with the same polynomial time-bound. We also prove hierarchies for machines with a fixed number of counters and with growing polynomial time-bounds. For machines with one counter and an additional "store zero" instruction we establish the equivalence of real-time and linear time. If at least two counters are available, the classes of languages accepted in real-time and linear time can be separated.

It is known that the zero forcing number of a graph is an upper bound for the maximum nullity of the graph (see [AIM Minimum Rank - Special Graphs Work Group (F. Barioli, W. Barrett, S. Butler, S. Cioab$\breve{\text{a}}$, D. Cvetkovi$\acute{\text{c}}$, S. Fallat, C. Godsil, W. Haemers, L. Hogben, R. Mikkelson, S. Narayan, O. Pryporova, I. Sciriha, W. So, D. Stevanovi$\acute{\text{c}}$, H. van der Holst, K. Vander Meulen, and A. Wangsness). Linear Algebra Appl., 428(7):1628--1648, 2008]). In this paper, we search for characteristics of a graph that guarantee the maximum nullity of the graph and the zero forcing number of the graph are the same by studying a variety of graph parameters that give lower bounds on the maximum nullity of a graph. Inparticular, we introduce a new graph parameter which acts as a lower bound for the maximum nullity of the graph. As a result, we show that the Aztec Diamond graph's maximum nullity and zero forcing number are the same. Other graph parameters that are considered are a Colin de Verdiére type parameter and vertex connectivity. We also use matrices, such as a divisor matrix of a graph and an equitable partition of the adjacency matrix of a graph, to establish a lower bound for the nullity of the graph's adjacency matrix.

The Power dominating set is a minimum point of determination in a graph that can dominate the connected dots around it, with a minimum domination point. The smallest cardinality of a power dominating set is called a power domination number with the notation . The purpose of this study is to determine the Shackle operations graph value from several special graphs with a point as a link. The result operation graphs are: Shackle operation graph from Path graph , Shackle operation graph from Sikel graph , Shackle operation graph from Star graph . The method used in this paper is axiomatic deductive method in solving problems. Understanding the axiomatic method itself is a method of deductive proof principles that applies in mathematical logic by using theorems that already exist in solving a problem. In this paper begins by determining the paper object that is the Shackle point operations result graph. Next, determine the cardinality of these graphs. After that, determine the point that has the maximum degree on the graph as the dominator point of power domination. Then, check whether the nearest neighbor has two or more degrees and analyze its optimization by using a ceiling function comparison between zero forching with the greatest degree of graph. Thus it can be determined ϒp minimal and dominated. The results of the power domination number study on Shackle operation graph result with points as connectors are , for  and ; , for  and ; , for  and .
