In chemical graph theory, graph invariants are usually referred to as topological indices. For a graph G , its vertex-degree-based topological indices of the form BID G = ∑ u v ∈ E G β d u , d v are known as bond incident degree indices, where E G is the edge set of G , d w denotes degree of an arbitrary vertex w of G , and β is a real-valued-symmetric function. Those BID indices for which β can be rewritten as a function of d u + d v − 2 (that is degree of the edge u v ) are known as edge-degree-based BID indices. A connected graph G is said to be r -apex tree if r is the smallest nonnegative integer for which there is a subset R of V G such that R = r and G − R is a tree. In this paper, we address the problem of determining graphs attaining the maximum or minimum value of an arbitrary BID index from the class of all r -apex trees of order n , where r and n are fixed integers satisfying the inequalities n − r ≥ 2 and r ≥ 1 .

Abstract The probabilistic characteristics of the graph of k-fold iteration of uniform random mapping are studied. Formulas for the distribution of the length of the aperiodicity segment of an arbitrary vertex with some restrictions are calculated. We obtain exact expressions for the probabilities that two arbitrary vertices belong to the same connected component, that an arbitrary vertex belongs to the preimage set of another vertex and that there exists a collision in the considered graph.

Graph homomorphism has been an important research topic since its introduction [20]. Stated in the language of binary relational structures in that paper [20], Lovász proved a fundamental theorem that, for a graph H given by its 0-1 valued adjacency matrix, the graph homomorphism function G ↦ hom( G , H ) determines the isomorphism type of H . In the past 50 years, various extensions have been proved by many researchers [1, 15, 21, 24, 26]. These extend the basic 0-1 case to admit vertex and edge weights; but these extensions all have some restrictions such as all vertex weights must be positive. In this article, we prove a general form of this theorem where H can have arbitrary vertex and edge weights. A noteworthy aspect is that we prove this by a surprisingly simple and unified argument. This bypasses various technical obstacles and unifies and extends all previous known versions of this theorem on graphs. The constructive proof of our theorem can be used to make various complexity dichotomy theorems for graph homomorphism effective in the following sense: it provides an algorithm that for any H either outputs a P-time algorithm solving hom(&sdot, H ) or a P-time reduction from a canonical #P-hard problem to hom(&sdot, H ).

In computer networks, vertices represent hosts or servers, and edges represent as the connecting medium between them. In localization, some special vertices (resolving sets) are selected to locate the position of all vertices in a computer network. If an arbitrary vertex stopped working and selected vertices still remain the resolving set, then the chosen set is called as the fault-tolerant resolving set. The least number of vertices in such resolving sets is called the fault-tolerant metric dimension of the network. Because of the variety of applications of the metric dimension in different areas of sciences, many generalizations were proposed, and fault tolerant is one of them. In this paper, we computed the fault-tolerant metric dimension of triangular snake, ladder, Mobius ladder, and hexagonal ladder networks. It is important to observe that, in all these classes of networks, the fault-tolerant metric dimension and metric dimension differ by 1.

Let [Formula: see text] be a connected graph. For a configuration of pebbles on the vertices of [Formula: see text], a pebbling move on [Formula: see text] is the process of taking two pebbles from a vertex and adding one of them on an adjacent vertex. The pebbling number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the least number of pebbles to guarantee that for any configuration of pebbles on [Formula: see text] and arbitrary vertex [Formula: see text], there is a sequence of pebbling movement that places at least one pebble on [Formula: see text]. The graph [Formula: see text] is said to be of Class 0 if its pebbling number equals its order. For a Class [Formula: see text] connected graph [Formula: see text], we improve a recent upper bound for [Formula: see text] in terms of [Formula: see text].

The connectivity index, introduced by the chemist Milan Randić in 1975, is one of the topological indices with many applications. In the first quarter of 1990s, Randić proposed the variable connectivity index by extending the definition of the connectivity index. The variable connectivity index for graph G is defined as ∑vw∈EGdv+γdw+γ−1/2, where γ is a nonnegative real number, EG is the edge set of G, and dt denotes the degree of an arbitrary vertex t in G. Soon after the innovation of the variable connectivity index, its various chemical applications have been reported in different papers. However, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, mathematical properties of the variable connectivity index, for γ>0, have not yet been discussed explicitly in any paper. The main purpose of the present paper is to fill this gap by studying this topological index in a mathematical point of view. More precisely, in this paper, we prove that the star graph has the minimum variable connectivity index among all trees of a fixed order n, where n≥4.

Abstract A connected graph $G$ is called strongly Menger (edge) connected if for any two distinct vertices $x,y$ of $G$, there are $\min \{\textrm{deg}_G(x), \textrm{deg}_G(y)\}$ internally disjoint (edge disjoint) paths between $x$ and $y$. Motivated by parallel routing in networks with faults, Oh and Chen (resp., Qiao and Yang) proposed the (fault-tolerant) strong Menger (edge) connectivity as follows. A graph $G$ is called $m$-strongly Menger (edge) connected if $G-F$ remains strongly Menger (edge) connected for an arbitrary vertex set $F\subseteq V(G)$ (resp. edge set $F\subseteq E(G)$) with $|F|\leq m$. A graph $G$ is called $m$-conditional strongly Menger (edge) connected if $G-F$ remains strongly Menger (edge) connected for an arbitrary vertex set $F\subseteq V(G)$ (resp. edge set $F\subseteq E(G)$) with $|F|\leq m$ and $\delta (G-F)\geq 2$. In this paper, we consider strong Menger (edge) connectedness of the augmented $k$-ary $n$-cube $AQ_{n,k}$, which is a variant of $k$-ary $n$-cube $Q_n^k$. By exploring the topological proprieties of $AQ_{n,k}$, we show that $AQ_{n,3}$ (resp. $AQ_{n,k}$, $k\geq 4$) is $(4n-9)$-strongly (resp. $(4n-8)$-strongly) Menger connected for $n\geq 4$ (resp. $n\geq 2$) and $AQ_{n,k}$ is $(4n-4)$-strongly Menger edge connected for $n\geq 2$ and $k\geq 3$. Moreover, we obtain that $AQ_{n,k}$ is $(8n-10)$-conditional strongly Menger edge connected for $n\geq 2$ and $k\geq 3$. These results are all optimal in the sense of the maximum number of tolerated vertex (resp. edge) faults.

A graph pebbling is a network optimization model for the transmission of consumable resources. A pebbling move on a connected graph [Formula: see text] is the process of removing two pebbles from a vertex and placing one of them on an adjacent vertex after configuration of a fixed number of pebbles on the vertex set of [Formula: see text]. The pebbling number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is defined to be the least number of pebbles to guarantee that for any configuration of pebbles on [Formula: see text] and arbitrary vertex [Formula: see text], there is a sequence of pebbling movement that places at least one pebble on [Formula: see text]. For connected graphs [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], Graham’s conjecture asserted that [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we show that such conjecture holds when [Formula: see text] is a complete bipartite graph with sufficiently large order in terms of [Formula: see text] and the order of [Formula: see text].

In this paper we propose formulas for the distance between vertices of a generalized Sierpi?ski graph S(G, t) in terms of the distance between vertices of the base graph G. In particular, we deduce a recursive formula for the distance between an arbitrary vertex and an extreme vertex of S(G, t), and we obtain a recursive formula for the distance between two arbitrary vertices of S(G, t) when the base graph is triangle-free. From these recursive formulas, we provide algorithms to compute the distance between vertices of S(G, t). In addition, we give an explicit formula for the diameter and radius of S(G, t) when the base graph is a tree.
