Abstract:

A vertex-colouring of a graph \(\Gamma\) is rainbow vertex connected if every pair of vertices \((u,v)\) in \(\Gamma\) there is a \(u-v\) path whose internal vertices have different colours. The rainbow vertex connection number of a graph \(\Gamma\), is the minimum number of colours needed to make \(\Gamma\) rainbow vertex connected, denoted by \(rvc(\Gamma)\). Here, we study the rainbow vertex connection numbers of middle and total graphs. A total-colouring of a graph \(\Gamma\) is total rainbow connected if every pair of vertices \((u,v)\) in \(\Gamma\) there is a \(u-v\) path whose edges and internal vertices have different colours. The total rainbow connection number of \(\Gamma\), is the minimum number of colours required to colour the edges and vertices of \(\Gamma\) in order to make \(\Gamma\) total rainbow connected, denoted by \(trc(\Gamma)\). In this paper, we also research the total rainbow connection numbers of middle and total graphs.

Abstract:

The harmonic index \(H(G)\) of a graph \(G\) is defined as the sum of the weights \(\frac{2}{d_{u}+ d_{v}}\) of all edges \(uv\) of \(G\), where \(d_{u}\) denotes the degree of a vertex \(u\). Delorme et al. [1] (2002) put forward a conjecture concerning the minimum Randić index among all connected graphs with \(n\) vertices and the minimum degree at least \(k\). Motivated by this paper, a conjecture related to the minimum harmonic index among all connected graphs with \(n\) vertices and the minimum degree at least \(k\) was posed in [2]. In this work, we show that the conjecture is true for a connected graph on $n$ vertices with \(k\) vertices of degree \(n-1\), and it is also true for a \(k\)-tree. Moreover, we give a shorter proof of Liu’s result [3].

Abstract:

Let \(L\) be a unital ring with characteristic different from \(2\) and \(\mathcal{O}(L)\) be an algebra of Octonion over \(L\). In the present article, our attempt is to present the characterization as well as the matrix representation of some variants of derivations on \(\mathcal{O}(L)\). The matrix representation of Lie derivation of \(\mathcal{O}(L)\) and its decomposition in terms of Lie derivation and Jordan derivation of \(L\) and inner derivation of \(\mathcal{O}\) is presented. The result about the decomposition of Lie centralizer of \(\mathcal{O}\) in terms of Lie centralizer and Jordan centralizer of \(L\) is given. Moreover, the matrix representation of generalized Lie derivation (also known as \(D\)-Lie derivation) of \(\mathcal{O}(L)\) is computed.

Abstract:

A sum divisor cordial labeling of a graph \(G\) with vertex set \(V(G)\) is a bijection \(f\) from \(V(G)\) to \(\{1,2,\cdots,|V(G)|\}\) such that an edge \(uv\) is assigned the label \(1\) if \(2\) divides \(f(u)+f(v)\) and \(0\) otherwise; and the number of edges labeled with \(1\) and the number of edges labeled with \(0\) differ by at most \(1\). A graph with a sum divisor cordial labeling is called a sum divisor cordial graph. In this paper, we discuss the sum divisor cordial labeling of transformed tree related graphs.

Abstract:

For a graph \(G\) and a positive integer \(k\), a royal \(k\)-edge coloring of \(G\) is an assignment of nonempty subsets of the set \(\{1, 2, \ldots, k\}\) to the edges of \(G\) that gives rise to a proper vertex coloring in which the color assigned to each vertex \(v\) is the union of the sets of colors of the edges incident with \(v\). If the resulting vertex coloring is vertex-distinguishing, then the edge coloring is a strong royal \(k\) coloring. The minimum positive integer \(k\) for which a graph has a strong royal \(k\)-coloring is the strong royal index of the graph. The primary emphasis here is on strong royal colorings of trees.

Abstract:

The coloring of all the edges of a graph \(G\) with the minimum number of colors, such that the adjacent edges are allotted a different color is known as the proper edge coloring. It is said to be equitable, if the number of edges in any two color classes differ by atmost one. In this paper, we obtain the equitable edge coloring of splitting graph of \(W_n\), \(DW_n\) and \(G_n\) by determining its edge chromatic number.

Abstract:

Let us consider a~simple connected undirected graph \(G=(V,E)\). For a~graph \(G\) we define a~\(k\)-labeling \(\phi: V(G)\to \{1,2, \dots, k\}\) to be a~distance irregular vertex \(k\)-labeling of the graph \(G\) if for every two different vertices \(u\) and \(v\) of \(G\), one has \(wt(u) \ne wt(v),\) where the weight of a~vertex \(u\) in the labeling \(\phi\) is \(wt(u)=\sum\limits_{v\in N(u)}\phi(v),\) where \(N(u)\) is the set of neighbors of \(u\). The minimum \(k\) for which the graph \(G\) has a~distance irregular vertex \(k\)-labeling is known as distance irregularity strength of \(G,\) it is denoted as \(dis(G)\). In this paper, we determine the exact value of the distance irregularity strength of corona product of cycle and path with complete graph of order \(1,\) friendship graph, Jahangir graph and helm graph. For future research, we suggest some open problems for researchers of the same domain of study.

Abstract:

Let \(G\) be a simple connected graph with vertex set \(V\) and diameter \(d\). An injective function \(c: V\rightarrow \{1,2,3,\ldots\}\) is called a radio labeling of \(G\) if \({|c(x) c(y)|+d(x,y)\geq d+1}\) for all distinct \(x,y\in V\), where \(d(x,y)\) is the distance between vertices \(x\) and \(y\). The largest number in the range of \(c\) is called the span of the labeling \(c\). The radio number of \(G\) is the minimum span taken over all radio labelings of \(G\). For a fixed vertex \(z\) of \(G\), the sequence \((l_1,l_2,\ldots,l_r)\) is called the level tuple of \(G\), where \(l_i\) is the number of vertices whose distance from \(z\) is \(i\). Let\(J^k(l_1,l_2,\ldots,l_r)\) be the wedge sum (i.e. one vertex union) of \(k\geq2\) graphs having same level tuple \((l_1,l_2,\ldots,l_r)\). Let \(J(\frac{l_1}{l’_1},\frac{l_2}{l’_2},\ldots,\frac{l_r} {l’_r})\) be the wedge sum of two graphs of same order, having level tuples  \((l_1,l_2,\ldots,l_r)\) and \((l’_1,l’_2,\ldots,l’_r)\). In this paper, we compute the radio number for some sub-families of \(J^k(l_1,l_2,\ldots,l_r)\) and \(J(\frac{l_1}{l’_1},\frac{l_2}{l’_2},\ldots,\frac{l_r}{l’_r})\).

Abstract:

An antipodal labeling is a function \(f\ \)from the vertices of \(G\) to the set of natural numbers such that it satisfies the condition \(d(u,v) + \left| f(u) – f(v) \right| \geq d\), where d is the diameter of \(G\ \)and \(d(u,v)\) is the shortest distance between every pair of distinct vertices  \(u\) and \(v\) of \(G.\) The span of an antipodal labeling \(f\ \)is \(sp(f) = \max\{|f(u) – \ f\ (v)|:u,\ v\, \in \, V(G)\}.\) The antipodal number of~G, denoted by~an(G), is the minimum span of all antipodal labeling of~G. In this paper, we determine the antipodal number of Mongolian tent and Torus grid.

Abstract:

Let \(G=(V(G),E(G))\) be a graph with \(p\) vertices and \(q\) edges. A graph \(G\) of size \(q\) is said to be odd graceful if there exists an injection \(\lambda: V(G) \to {0,1,2,\ldots,2q-1}\) such that assigning each edge \(xy\) the label or weight \(|\lambda(x) – \lambda(y)|\) results in the set of edge labels being \({1,3,5,\ldots,2q-1}\). This concept was introduced in 1991 by Gananajothi. In this paper, we examine the odd graceful labeling of the \(W\)-tree, denoted as \(WT(n,k)\).

Abstract:

This paper introduces a novel type of convex function known as the refined modified \((h,m)\)-convex function, which is a generalization of the traditional \((h,m)\)-convex function. We establish Hadamard-type inequalities for this new definition by utilizing the Caputo \(k\)-fractional derivative. Specifically, we derive two integral identities that involve the nth order derivatives of given functions and use them to prove the estimation of Hadamard-type inequalities for the Caputo \(k\)-fractional derivatives of refined modified \((h,m)\)-convex functions. The results obtained in this research demonstrate the versatility of the refined modified \((h,m)\)-convex function and the usefulness of Caputo \(k\)-fractional derivatives in establishing important inequalities. Our work contributes to the existing body of knowledge on convex functions and offers insights into the applications of fractional calculus in mathematical analysis. The research findings have the potential to pave the way for future studies in the area of convex functions and fractional calculus, as well as in other areas of mathematical research.

Abstract:

Let \(G\) be a finite solvable group and \(\Delta\) be the subset of \(\Upsilon \times \Upsilon\), where \(\Upsilon\) is the set of all pairs of size two commuting elements in \(G\). If \(G\) operates on a transitive \(G\) – space by the action \((\upsilon_{1},\upsilon_{2})^{g}=(\upsilon_{1}^{g},\upsilon_{2}^{g})\); \(\upsilon_{1},\upsilon_{2} \in \Upsilon\) and \(g \in G\), then orbits of \(G\) are called orbitals. The subset \(\Delta_{o}=\{(\upsilon,\upsilon);\upsilon \in \Upsilon, (\upsilon,\upsilon) \in \Upsilon \times \Upsilon\}\) represents \(G’s\) diagonal orbital.
The orbital regular graph is a graph on which \(G\) acts regularly on the vertices and the edge set. In this paper, we obtain the orbital regular graphs for some finite solvable groups using a regular action. Furthermore, the number of edges for each of a group’s orbitals is obtained.

Abstract:

Integer partitions of \( n \) are viewed as bargraphs (i.e., Ferrers diagrams rotated anticlockwise by 90 degrees) in which the \( i \)-th part of the partition \( x_i \) is given by the \( i \)-th column of the bargraph with \( x_i \) cells. The sun is at infinity in the northwest of our two-dimensional model, and each partition casts a shadow in accordance with the rules of physics. The number of unit squares in this shadow but not being part of the partition is found through a bivariate generating function in \( q \) tracking partition size and \( u \) tracking shadow. To do this, we define triangular \( q \)-binomial coefficients which are analogous to standard \( q \)-binomial coefficients, and we obtain a formula for these. This is used to obtain a generating function for the total number of shaded cells in (weakly decreasing)
partitions of \( n \).

Abstract:

Tensors, or multi-linear forms, are important objects in a variety of areas from analytics, to combinatorics, to computational complexity theory. Notions of tensor rank aim to quantify the “complexity” of these forms, and are thus also important. While there is one single definition of rank that completely captures the complexity of matrices (and thus linear transformations), there is no definitive analog for tensors. Rather, many notions of tensor rank have been defined over the years, each with their own set of uses.

In this paper we survey the popular notions of tensor rank. We give a brief history of their introduction, motivating their existence, and discuss some of their applications in computer science. We also give proof sketches of recent results by Lovett, and Cohen and Moshkovitz, which prove asymptotic equivalence between three key notions of tensor rank over finite fields with at least three elements.

We prove two conjectures due to Sun concerning binomial-harmonic sums. First, we introduce a proof of a formula for Catalan’s constant that had been conjectured by Sun in 2014. Then, using a similar approach as in our first proof, we solve an open problem due to Sun involving the sequence of alternating odd harmonic numbers. Our methods, more broadly, allow us to reduce difficult binomial-harmonic sums to finite combinations of dilogarithms that are evaluable using previously known algorithms.

In the special case of \( m = 2 \), we have a new combinatorial interpretation of the semi-Pell sequence and connections to other objects.

Abstract:

In this paper we show some identities come from the \( q \)-identities of Euler, Jacobi, Gauss, and Rogers-Ramanujan. Some of these identities relate the function sum of divisors of a positive integer \( n \) and the number of integer partitions of \( n \). One of the most intriguing results found here is given by the next equation, for \( n > 0 \),
\[
\sum_{l=1}^n \frac{1}{l!} \sum_{w_1+w_2+\cdots+w_l \in C(n)} \frac{\sigma_1(w_1) \sigma_1(w_2) \cdots \sigma_1(w_l)}{w_1 w_2 \cdots w_l} = p_1(n),
\]
where \( \sigma_1(n) \) is the sum of all positive divisors of \( n \), \( p_1(n) \) is the number of integer partitions of \( n \), and \( C(n) \) is the set of integer compositions of \( n \). In the last section, we show seven applications, one of them is a series expansion for
\[
\frac{(q^{a_1};q^{b_1})_\infty (q^{a_2};q^{b_2})_\infty \cdots (q^{a_k};q^{b_k})_\infty}
{(q^{c_1};q^{d_1})_\infty (q^{c_2};q^{d_2})_\infty \cdots (q^{c_r};q^{d_r})_\infty},
\]
where \( a_1, \ldots, a_k, b_1, \ldots, b_k, c_1, \ldots, c_r, d_1, \ldots, d_r \) are positive integers, and \( |q| < 1 \).

Let \( A \) be a subset of a finite field \( \mathbb{F} \). When \( \mathbb{F} \) has prime order, we show that there is an absolute constant \( c > 0 \) such that, if \( A \) is both sum-free and equal to the set of its multiplicative inverses, then \( |A| < (0.25 – c)|\mathbb{F}| + o(|\mathbb{F}|) \) as \( |\mathbb{F}| \to \infty \). We contrast this with the result that such sets exist with size at least \( 0.25|\mathbb{F}| – o(|\mathbb{F}|) \) when \( \mathbb{F} \) has characteristic 2.

Abstract:

Every set of natural numbers determines a generating function convergent for \( q \in (-1, 1) \) whose behavior as \( q \to 1^- \) determines a germ. These germs admit a natural partial ordering that can be used to compare sets of natural numbers in a manner that generalizes both cardinality of finite sets and density of infinite sets. For any finite set \( D \) of positive integers, call a set \( S \) “\( D \)-avoiding” if no two elements of \( S \) differ by an element of \( D \). We study the problem of determining, for fixed \( D \), all \( D \)- avoiding sets that are maximal in the germ order. In many cases, we can show that there is exactly one such set. We apply this to the study of one-dimensional packing problems.

Abstract:

Bargraphs are column convex polyominoes, where the lower edge lies on a horizontal axis. We consider the inner site-perimeter, which is the total number of cells inside the bargraph that have at least one edge in common with an outside cell and obtain the generating function that counts this statistic. From this we find the average inner perimeter and the asymptotic expression for this average as the semi-perimeter tends to infinity. We finally consider those bargraphs where the inner site-perimeter is exactly equal to the area of the bargraph.

The main purposes of this paper are to introduce the \( c \)-dominating Estrada index of a graph. Moreover, to obtain upper and lower bounds for the \( c \)-dominating Estrada index and investigate the relations between the \( c \)-dominating Estrada in

Abstract:

In this Paper, we establish a new application of the Mittag-Lefier Function method that will enlarge the application to the non linear Riccati Differential equations with fractional order. This method provides results that converge promptly to the exact solution. The description of fractional derivatives is made in the Caputo sense. To emphasize the consistency of the approach, few illustrations are presented to support the outcomes. The outcomes declare that the procedure is very constructive and relavent for determining non linear Ricati differential equations of fractional order.

Abstract:

One of the important features of an interconnection network is its ability to efficiently simulate programs or parallel algorithms written for other architectures. Such a simulation problem can be mathematically formulated as a graph embedding problem. In this paper, we embed complete multipartite graphs into certain trees, such as \(k\)-rooted complete binary trees and \(k\)-rooted sibling trees.

Abstract:

In this paper we compute the \(P_3\)-forcing number of honeycomb network. A dynamic coloring of the vertices of a graph \(G\) starts with an initial subset \(S\) of colored vertices, with all remaining vertices being non-colored. At each discrete time interval, a colored vertex with exactly one non-colored neighbor forces this non-colored neighbor to be colored. The initial set \(S\) is called a forcing set of \(G\) if, by iteratively applying the forcing process, every vertex in G becomes colored. If the initial set \(S\) has the added property that it induces a subgraph of \(G\) whose components are all paths of length 3, then \(S\) is called a \(P_3\)-forcing set of \(G\). A Ps-forcing set of \(G\) of minimum cardinality is called the \(P_3\)-forcing number of G denoted by \(ZP_3(G)\).

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.

Abstract:

In graph theory and network analysis, centrality measures identify the most important vertices within a graph. In a connected graph, closeness centrality of a node is a measure of centrality, calculated as the reciprocal of the sum of the lengths of the shortest paths between the node and all other nodes in the graph. In this paper, we compute closeness centrality for a class of neural networks and the sibling trees, classified as a family of interconnection networks.

Abstract:

Let \(G = (V, E)\) be a graph. A total dominating set of \(G\) which intersects every minimum total dominating set in \(G\) is called a transversal total dominating set. The minimum cardinality of a transversal total dominating set is called the transversal total domination number of G, denoted by \(\gamma_{tt}(G)\). In this paper, we begin to study this parameter. We calculate \(\gamma_{tt}(G)\) for some families of graphs. Further some bounds and relations with other domination parameters are obtained for \(\gamma_{tt}(G)\).

Abstract:

Let \(G\) be any graph. The concept of paired domination was introduced having gaurd backup concept in mind. We introduce pendant domination concept, for which at least one guard is assigned a backup, A dominating set \(S\) in \(G\) is called a pendant dominating set if \((S)\) contains at least one pendant vertex. The least cardinality of a pendant dominating set is called the pendant domination number of G denoted by \(\gamma_{pe}(G)\). In this article, we initiate the study of this parameter. The exact value of \(\gamma_{pe}(G)\) for some families of standard graphs are obtained and some bounds are estimated. We also study the proprties of the parameter and interrelation with other invarients.
