A construction of graphs, codes, and designs acted on by simple primitive groups described in [9, 10] is used to find some self-orthogonal, irreducible, and indecomposable codes acted on by one of the simple Janko groups, \( J_1 \) or \( J_2 \). In particular, most of the irreducible modules over the fields \( \mathbb{F}_p \) for \( p \in \{2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 19\} \) for \( J_1 \), and \( p \in \{2, 3, 5, 7\} \) for \( J_2 \), can be represented in this way as linear codes invariant under the groups.

Let \( G = (V_1, V_2; E) \) be a bipartite graph with \( |V_1| = |V_2| = 2k \), where \( k \) is a positive integer. It is proved that if \( d(x) + d(y) \geq 3k \) for every pair of nonadjacent vertices \( x \in V_1 \), \( y \in V_2 \), then \( G \) contains \( k \) independent quadrilaterals.

A set \( S \) of vertices of a graph \( G \) is geodetic if every vertex in \( V(G) \setminus S \) is contained in a shortest path between two vertices of \( S \). The geodetic number \( g(G) \) is the minimum cardinality of a geodetic set of \( G \). The geodomatic number \( d_g(G) \) of a graph \( G \) is the maximum number of elements in a partition of \( V(G) \) into geodetic sets.
In this paper, we determine \( d_g(G) \) for some family of graphs, and we present different bounds on \( d_g(G) \). In particular, we prove the following Nordhaus-Gaddum inequality, where \( \overline{G} \) is the complement of the graph \( G \). If \( G \) is a graph of order \( n \geq 2 \), then \(d_g(G) + d_g(\overline{G}) \leq n\) with equality if and only if \( n = 2 \).

For given finite simple graphs \( F \) and \( G \), the Ramsey number \( R(F, G) \) is the minimum positive integer \( n \) such that for every graph \( H \) of order \( n \), either \( H \) contains \( F \) or the complement of \( H \) contains \( G \). In this note, with the help of computer, we get that \(R(C_5, W_6) = 13, \quad R(C_5, W_7) = 15, \quad R(C_5, W_8) = 17\),\(R(C_6, W_6) = 11, \quad R(C_6, W_7) = 16, \quad R(C_6, W_8) = 13\),\(R(C_7, W_6) = 13 \quad \text{and} \quad R(C_7, W_8) = 17\).

A \((p,q)\)-graph is said to be a permutation graph if there exists a bijection function \( f: V(G) \to \{1, 2, \ldots, p\} \) such that the induced edge function \( h_f: E(G) \to \mathbb{N} \) is defined as follows:
\[
h_f(x_i, x_j) =
\begin{cases}
{}^{f(x_i)}P_{f(x_j)}, & \text{if } f(x_j) < f(x_i); \\
{}^{f(x_j)}P_{f(x_i)}, & \text{if } f(x_i) < f(x_j).
\end{cases}
\]
In this paper, we investigate the permutation labelings of wheel-related graphs.

Determining whether or not a graph has an efficient dominating set (equivalently, a perfect code) is an NP-complete problem. Here we present a polynomial time algorithm to decide if a given simplicial graph has an efficient dominating set. However, the efficient domination number decision problem is NP-complete for simplicial graphs.

Let \( G \) be a connected graph of size at least 2 and \( c: E(G) \to \{0, 1, \ldots, k-1\} \) an edge coloring (or labeling) of \( G \) using \( k \) colors (where adjacent edges may be assigned the same color). For each vertex \( v \) of \( G \), the color code of \( v \) with respect to \( c \) is the \( k \)-tuple \( \text{code}(v) = (a_0, a_1, \ldots, a_{k-1}) \), where \( a_i \) is the number of edges incident with \( v \) that are labeled \( i \) (for \( 0 \leq i \leq k-1 \)). The labeling \( c \) is called a detectable labeling if distinct vertices in \( G \) have distinct color codes. The value \( \text{val}(c) \) of a detectable labeling \( c \) of a graph \( G \) is the sum of the colors assigned to the edges in \( G \). The total detection number \( \text{td}(G) \) of \( G \) is defined by \( \text{td}(G) = \min\{\text{val}(c)\} \), where the minimum is taken over all detectable labelings \( c \) of \( G \). Thus, if \( G \) is a connected graph of size \( m \geq 2 \), then \( 1 \leq \text{td}(G) \leq \binom{m}{2} \). We present characterizations of all connected graphs \( G \) of size \( m \geq 2 \) for which \( \text{td}(G) \in \{1, \binom{m}{2}\} \). The total detection numbers of complete graphs and cycles are also investigated.
