The geodetic numbers of graphs and digraphs

For every two vertices u and v in a graph G,a u-v geodesic is a shortest path between u and v.Let I(u,v)denote the set of all vertices lying on a u-v geodesic.For a vertex subset S,let I(S) denote the union of all I(u,v)for u,v∈S.The geodetic number g(G)of a graph G is the minimum cardinality of a set S with I(S)=V(G).For a digraph D,there is analogous terminology for the geodetic number g(D).The geodetic spectrum of a graph G,denoted by S(G),is the set of geodetic numbers of all orientations of graph G.The lower geodetic number is g~-(G)=minS(G)and the upper geodetic number is g~ (G)=maxS(G).The main purpose of this paper is to study the relations among g(G),g~-(G)and g~ (G)for connected graphs G.In addition,a sufficient and necessary condition for the equality of g(G)and g(G×K_2)is presented,which improves a result of Chartrand,Harary and Zhang.     

Trees with Given Diameter Minimizing the Augmented Zagreb Index and Maximizing the ABC Index

Let G be a simple connected graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G).The augmented Zagreb index of a graph G is defined asAZI(G) =∑uv∈E(G)(d_ud_v/(d_u + d_v-2))~3,and the atom-bond connectivity index(ABC index for short) of a graph G is defined asABC(G) =∑uv∈E(G)((d_u + d_v-2)/d_ud_v),where d_u and d_v denote the degree of vertices u and v in G,respectively.In this paper,trees with given diameter minimizing the augmented Zagreb index and maximizing the ABC index are determined,respectively.     

Resolvability in circulant graphs

A set W of the vertices of a connected graph G is called a resolving set for G if for every two distinct vertices u, v ∈ V (G) there is a vertex w ∈ W such that d(u, w) ≠ d(v, w). A resolving set of minimum cardinality is called a metric basis for G and the number of vertices in a metric basis is called the metric dimension of G, denoted by dim(G). For a vertex u of G and a subset S of V (G), the distance between u and S is the number min s∈S d(u, s). A k-partition Π = {S 1 , S 2 , . . . , S k } of V (G) is called a resolving partition if for every two distinct vertices u, v ∈ V (G) there is a set S i in Π such that d(u, Si )≠ d(v, Si ). The minimum k for which there is a resolving k-partition of V (G) is called the partition dimension of G, denoted by pd(G). The circulant graph is a graph with vertex set Zn , an additive group of integers modulo n, and two vertices labeled i and j adjacent if and only if i-j (mod n) ∈ C , where CZn has the property that C =-C and 0 ■ C. The circulant graph is denoted by Xn, Δ where Δ = |C|. In this paper, we study the metric dimension of a family of circulant graphs Xn, 3 with connection set C = {1, n/2 , n-1} and prove that dim(Xn, 3 ) is independent of choice of n by showing that dim(Xn, 3 ) ={3 for all n ≡ 0 (mod 4), 4 for all n ≡ 2 (mod 4). We also study the partition dimension of a family of circulant graphs Xn,4 with connection set C = {±1, ±2} and prove that pd(Xn, 4 ) is independent of choice of n and show that pd(X5,4 ) = 5 and pd(Xn,4 ) ={3 for all odd n ≥ 9, 4 for all even n ≥ 6 and n = 7.

The Balaban index of a connected graph G is defined as J(G) =|E(G)|μ + 1∑e=uv∈E(G)1√DG(u)DG(v),and the Sum-Balaban index is defined as SJ(G) =|E(G)|μ + 1∑e=uv∈E(G)1√DG(u)+DG(v),where DG(u) =∑w∈V(G)dG(u, w), and μ is the cyclomatic number of G. In this paper, the unicyclic graphs with the maximum Balaban index and the maximum Sum-Balaban index among all unicyclic graphs on n vertices are characterized, respectively.     

通过增强型萨格勒布指数对图排序

Recently, Furtula et al. proposed a valuable predictive index in the study of the heat of formation in octanes and heptanes, the augmented Zagreb index(AZI index) of a graph G, which is defined as AZI(G) =∑uv∈E(G)( d_u d_v/d_u + d_v-2)~3,where E(G) is the edge set of G, d u and d v are the degrees of the terminal vertices u and v of edge uv, respectively. In this paper, we obtain the first five largest(resp., the first two smallest) AZI indices of connected graphs with n vertices. Moreover, we determine the trees of order n with the first three smallest AZI indices, the unicyclic graphs of order n with the minimum, the second minimum AZI indices, and the bicyclic graphs of order n with the minimum AZI index, respectively.     

On the maximal eccentric connectivity indices of graphs

For a connected simple graph G, the eccentricity ec(v) of a vertex v in G is the distance from v to a vertex farthest from v, and d(v) denotes the degree of a vertex v. The eccentric connectivity index of G, denoted by ξc(G), is defined as v∈V(G)d(v)ec(v). In this paper, we will determine the graphs with maximal eccentric connectivity index among the connected graphs with n vertices and m edges(n ≤ m ≤ n + 4), and propose a conjecture on the graphs with maximal eccentric connectivity index among the connected graphs with n vertices and m edges(m ≥ n + 5).

完全图的Cantesian积的L(2,1)-圆标定

For positive integers j and k with j ≥ k, an L（j, k）-labeling of a graph G is an assignment of nonnegative integers to V（G） such that the difference between labels of adjacent vertices is at least j, and the difference between labels of vertices that are distance two apart is at least k. The span of an L（j, k）-labeling of a graph G is the difference between the maximum and minimum integers it uses. The λj, k-number of G is the minimum span taken over all L（j, k）-labelings of G. An m-（j, k）-circular labeling of a graph G is a function f ： V（G） →{0, 1, 2,..., m - 1} such that ｜f（u） - f（v）｜m ≥ j if u and v are adjacent; and ｜f（u） - f（v）｜m 〉 k ifu and v are at distance two, where ｜x｜m = min{｜xl｜, m-｜x｜}. The minimum integer m such that there exists an m-（j, k）-circular labeling of G is called the σj,k-number of G and is denoted by σj,k（G）. This paper determines the σ2,1-number of the Cartesian product of any three complete graphs.     

关于完全二部图$K_{4, n}$和$K_{n, n}$的点可区别 $IE$-全染色的一些注记

Let G be a simple graph.An IE-total coloring f of G refers to a coloring of the vertices and edges of G so that no two adjacent vertices receive the same color.Let C(u) be the set of colors of vertex u and edges incident to u under f.For an IE-total coloring f of G using k colors,if C(u)=C(v) for any two different vertices u and v of V(G),then f is called a k-vertex-distinguishing IE-total-coloring of G,or a k-VDIET coloring of G for short.The minimum number of colors required for a VDIET coloring of G is denoted by χ ie vt (G),and it is called the VDIET chromatic number of G.We will give VDIET chromatic numbers for complete bipartite graph K4,n (n≥4),K n,n (5≤ n ≤ 21) in this article.

Let G be a simple graph. A total coloring f of G is called E-total-coloring if no two adjacent vertices of G receive the same color and no edge of G receives the same color as one of its endpoints. For E-total-coloring f of a graph G and any vertex u of G, let Cf （u） or C（u） denote the set of colors of vertex u and the edges incident to u. We call C（u） the color set of u. If C（u） ≠ C（v） for any two different vertices u and v of V（G）, then we say that f is a vertex-distinguishing E-total-coloring of G, or a VDET coloring of G for short. The minimum number of colors required for a VDET colorings of G is denoted by X^evt（G）, and it is called the VDET chromatic number of G. In this article, we will discuss vertex-distinguishing E-total colorings of the graphs mC3 and mC4.

For a graph G, a path cover is a set of vertex disjoint paths covering all the vertices of G, and a path cover number of G, denoted by p(G), is the minimum number of paths in a path cover among all the path covers of G. In this paper, we prove that if G is a K_(1,4)-free graph of order n and σ_(k+1)(G) ≥ n-k, then p(G) ≤ k, where σ_(k+1)(G) = min{∑v∈S d(v) : S is an independent set of G with |S| = k + 1}.
