Abstract

In this paper, we introduced a new concept called nonsplit monophonic set and its relative parameter nonsplit monophonic number \(m_{ns}(G)\). Some certain properties of nonsplit monophonic sets are discussed. The nonsplit monophonic number of standard graphs are investigated. Some existence theorems on nonsplit monophonic number are established.
