This paper investigates the Turan-like problem for \(\mathcal{K}^-_{r + 1}\)-free \((r \geq 2)\) unbalanced signed graphs, where \(\mathcal{K}^-_{r + 1}\) is the set of unbalanced signed complete graphs with \(r+1\) vertices. The maximum number of edges and the maximum index for \(\mathcal{K}^-_{r + 1}\)-free unbalanced signed graphs are given. Moreover, the extremal \(\mathcal{K}^-_{r + 1}\)-free unbalanced signed graphs with the maximum index are characterized.

In this paper, we give a classification of all Mengerian \(4\)-uniform hypergraphs derived from graphs.

The \( n \)-dimensional Möbius cube \( MQ_n \) is an important variant of the hypercube \( Q_n \), which possesses some properties superior to the hypercube. This paper investigates the fault-tolerant edge-pancyclicity of \( MQ_n \), and shows that if \( MQ_n \) (\( n \geq 5 \)) contains at most \( n-2 \) faulty vertices and/or edges then, for any fault-free edge \( uv \) in \( MQ_n^i (i=0,1) \) and any integer \( \ell \) with \( 7-i \leqslant \ell \leqslant 2^n – f_v \), there is a fault-free cycle of length \( \ell \) containing the edge \( uv \), where \( f_v \) is the number of faulty vertices. The result is optimal in some senses.

In a recent paper Cameron, Lakshmanan and Ajith [6] began an exploration of hypergraphs defined on algebraic structures, especially groups, to investigate whether this can add a new perspective. Following their suggestions, we consider suitable hypergraphs encoding the generating properties of a finite group. In particular, answering a question asked in their paper, we classified the finite solvable groups whose generating hypergraph is the basis hypergraph of a matroid.

Let \( G \) be a graph, the zero forcing number \( Z(G) \) is the minimum of \( |Z| \) over all zero forcing sets \( Z \subseteq V(G) \). In this paper, we are interested in studying the zero forcing number of quartic circulant graphs \( C_{p}\left(s,t\right) \), where \( p \) is an odd prime. Based on the fact that \( C_{p}\left(s,t\right) \cong C_{p}\left(1,q\right) \), we give the exact values of the zero forcing number of some specific quartic circulant graphs.

Behera and Panda defined a balancing number as a number b for which the sum of the numbers from \(1\) to \(b – 1\) is equal to the sum of the numbers from \(b + 1\) to \(b + r\) for some r. They also classified all such numbers. We define two notions of balancing numbers for Farey fractions and enumerate all possible solutions. In the stricter definition, there is exactly one solution, whereas in the weaker one all sufficiently large numbers work. We also define notions of balancing numbers for levers and mobiles, then show that these variants have many acceptable arrangements. For an arbitrary mobile, we prove that we can place disjoint consecutive sequences at each of the leaves and still have the mobile balance. However, if we impose certain additional restrictions, then it is impossible to balance a mobile.

The secure edge dominating set of a graph \( G \) is an edge dominating set \( F \) with the property that for each edge \( e \in E-F \), there exists \( f \in F \) adjacent to \( e \) such that \( (F-\{f\})\cup \{e\} \) is an edge dominating set. In this paper, we obtained upper bounds for edge domination and secure edge domination number for Mycielski of a tree.

In this paper we contribute to the literature of computational chemistry by providing exact expressions for the detour index of joins of Hamilton-connected (\(HC\)) graphs. This improves upon existing results by loosening the requirement of a molecular graph being Hamilton-connected and only requirement certain subgraphs to be Hamilton-connected.

The geometrical properties of a plane determine the tilings that can be built on it. Because of the negative curvature of the hyperbolic plane, we may find several types of groups of symmetries in patterns built on such a surface, which implies the existence of an infinitude of possible tiling families. Using generating functions, we count the vertices of a uniform tiling from any fixed vertex. We count vertices for all families of valence \(5\) and for general vertices with valence \(6\), with even-sized faces. We also give some general results about the behavior of the vertices and edges of the tilings under consideration.

This study extends the concept of competition graphs to cubic fuzzy competition graphs by introducing additional variations including cubic fuzzy out-neighbourhoods, cubic fuzzy in-neighbourhoods, open neighbourhood cubic fuzzy graphs, closed neighbourhood cubic fuzzy graphs, cubic fuzzy (k) neighbourhood graphs and cubic fuzzy [k]-neighbourhood graphs. These variations provide further insights into the relationships and competition within the graph structure, each with its own defined characteristics and examples. These cubic fuzzy CMGs are further classified as cubic fuzzy k-competition graphs that show competition in the \(k\)th order between components, \(p\)-competition cubic fuzzy graphs that concentrate on competition in terms of membership degrees, and \(m\)-step cubic fuzzy competition graphs that analyze competition in terms of steps. Further, some related results about independent strong vertices and edges have been obtained for these cubic fuzzy competition graph classes. Finally, the proposed concept of cubic fuzzy competition graphs is supported by a numerical example. This example showcases how the framework of cubic fuzzy competition graphs can be practically applied to the predator-prey model to illustrate the representation and analysis of ambiguous information within the graph structures.
