Let \( G(V,E) \) be a simple connected graph with vertex set \( V \) and edge set \( E \). The Wiener index in the graph is \(W(G) = \sum_{\{u,v\} \subseteq V} d(u,v),\) where \( d(u,v) \) is the distance between \( u \) and \( v \), and the Hosoya polynomial of \( G \) is \(H(G, x) = \sum_{\{u,v\} \subseteq V} x^{d(u,v)}.\) The hyper-Wiener index of \( G \) is \(WW(G) = \frac{1}{2} \left( W(G) + \sum_{\{u,v\} \subseteq V} d^2(u,v) \right).\) In this paper, we compute the Wiener index, Hosoya polynomial, and hyper-Wiener index of Jahangir graph \( J_{8,m} \) for \( m \geq 3 \).

Hybrid numbers are generalization of complex, hyperbolic and dual numbers. In this paper we introduce and study Fibonacci-Pell hybrinomials, i.e. polynomials, which are a generalization of hybrid numbers of the Fibonacci type.

The hub-integrity of a graph is given by the minimum of \( |S| + m(G – S) \), where \( S \) is a hub set and \( m(G – S) \) is the maximum order of the components of \( G – S \). In this paper, the concept of hub edge-integrity is introduced as a new measure of the stability of a graph \( G \), and it is defined as \(HEI(G) = \min\{|S| + m(G – S)\},\) where \( S \) is an edge hub set and \( m(G – S) \) is the order of a maximum component of \( G – S \). Furthermore, an \( HEI \)-set of \( G \) is any set \( S \) for which this minimum is attained. Several properties and bounds on the \( HEI \) are presented, and the relationship between \( HEI \) and other parameters is investigated. The \( HEI \) of some classes of graphs is also computed.

A graph \( G(R) \) is said to be a zero divisor graph of a commutative ring \( R \) with identity if \( x_1, x_2 \in V(G(R)) \) and \( (x_1, x_2) \in E(G(R)) \) if and only if \( x_1 \cdot x_2 = 0 \). The vertex-degree-based eccentric topological indices of zero divisor graphs of commutative rings \( \mathbb{Z}_{p^2} \times \mathbb{Z}_{q^2} \) are studied in this paper, with \( p \) and \( q \) being primes.

The sums \( S(x, t) \) of the centered remainders \( kt – \lfloor kt \rfloor – 1/2 \) over \( k \leq x \) and corresponding Dirichlet series were studied by A. Ostrowski, E. Hecke, H. Behnke, and S. Lang for fixed real irrational numbers \( t \). Their work was originally inspired by Weyl’s equidistribution results modulo 1 for sequences in number theory.

In a series of former papers, we obtained limit functions which describe scaling properties of the Farey sequence of order \( n \) for \( n \to \infty \) in the vicinity of any fixed fraction \( a/b \) and which are independent of \( a/b \). We extend this theory on the sums \( S(x, t) \) and also obtain a scaling behavior with a new limit function. This method leads to a refinement of results given by Ostrowski and Lang and establishes a new proof for the analytic continuation of related Dirichlet series. We will also present explicit relations to the theory of Farey sequences.

Bulgarian solitaire is played on \( n \) cards divided into several piles; a move consists of picking one card from each pile to form a new pile. This can be seen as a process on the set of integer partitions of \( n \): if sorted configurations are represented by Young diagrams, a move in the solitaire consists of picking all cards in the bottom layer of the diagram and inserting the picked cards as a new column. Here we consider a generalization, \( L \)-solitaire, wherein a fixed set of layers \( L \) (that includes the bottom layer) are picked to form a new column.

\( L \)-solitaire has the property that if a stable configuration of \( n \) cards exists it is unique. Moreover, the Young diagram of a configuration is convex if and only if it is a stable (fixpoint) configuration of some \( L \)-solitaire. If the Young diagrams representing card configurations are scaled down to have unit area, the stable configurations corresponding to an infinite sequence of pick-layer sets \( (L_1, L_2, \ldots) \) may tend to a limit shape \( \phi \). We show that every convex \( \phi \) with certain properties can arise as the limit shape of some sequence of \( L_n \). We conjecture that recurrent configurations have the same limit shapes as stable configurations.

For the special case \( L_n = \{1, 1 + \lfloor 1/q_n \rfloor, 1 + \lfloor 2/q_n \rfloor, \ldots\} \), where the pick layers are approximately equidistant with average distance \( 1/q_n \) for some \( q_n \in (0,1] \), these limit shapes are linear (in case \( nq_n^2 \to 0 \)), exponential (in case \( nq_n^2 \to \infty \)), or interpolating between these shapes (in case \( nq_n^2 \to C > 0 \)).

We introduce a polygonal cylinder \( C_{m,n} \), using the Cartesian product of paths \( P_m \) and \( P_n \) and using topological identification of vertices and edges of two opposite sides of \( P_m \times P_n \), and give its Hosoya polynomial, which, depending on odd and even \( m \), is covered in seven separate cases.

In this paper we find recurrence relations for the asymptotic probability a vertex is \(k\) protected in all Motzkin trees. We use a similar technique to calculate the probabilities for balanced vertices of rank \(k\). From this we calculate upper and lower bounds for the probability a vertex is balanced and upper and lower bounds for the expected rank of balanced vertices.

Binomial coefficients of the form \( \binom{\alpha}{\beta} \) for complex numbers \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) can be defined in terms of the gamma function, or equivalently the generalized factorial function. Less well-known is the fact that if \( n \) is a natural number, the binomial coefficient \( \binom{n}{x} \) can be defined in terms of elementary functions. This enables us to investigate the function \( \binom{n}{x} \) of the real variable \( x \). The results are completely in line with what one would expect after glancing at the graph of \( \binom{3}{x} \), for example, but the techniques involved in the investigation are not the standard methods of calculus. The analysis is complicated by the existence of removable singularities at all of the integer points in the interval \( [0, n] \), and requires multiplying, rearranging, and differentiating infinite series.

In this paper, we analyze the stochastic properties of some large size (area) polyominoes’ perimeter such that the directed column-convex polyomino, the columnconvex polyomino, the directed diagonally-convex polyomino, the staircase (or parallelogram) polyomino, the escalier polyomino, the wall (orbargraph) polyomino. All polyominoes considered here are made of contiguous, not-empty columns, without holes, such that each column must be adjacent to some cell of the previous column. We compute the asymptotic (for large size n) Gaussian distribution of the perimeter, including the corresponding Markov property of the chain of columns, and the convergence to classical Brownian motions of the perimeter seen as a trajectory according to the successive columns. All polyominoes of size n are considered as equiprobable.

Convolution conditions are discussed for the \(q\)-analogue classes of Janowski starlike, convex and spirallike functions.

we discuss a framework for constructing large subsets of \(\mathbb{R}^n\) and \(K^n\) for non-archimedean local fields \(K\). This framework is applied to obtain new estimates for the Hausdorff dimension of angle-avoiding sets and to provide a counterexample to a limiting version of the Capset problem.

Let \( R \) be a commutative ring with unity and \( M \) be an \( R \)-module. The total graph of \( M \) with respect to the singular submodule \( Z(M) \) of \( M \) is an undirected graph \( T(\Gamma(M)) \) with vertex set as \( M \) and any two distinct vertices \( x \) and \( y \) are adjacent if and only if \( x + y \in Z(M) \). In this paper, the author attempts to study the domination in the graph \( T(\Gamma(M)) \) and investigate the domination number and the bondage number of \( T(\Gamma(M)) \) and its induced subgraphs. Some domination parameters of \( T(\Gamma(M)) \) are also studied. It has been shown that \( T(\Gamma(M)) \) is excellent, domatically full, and well covered under certain conditions.

In this paper, we study a class of sequences of polynomials linked to the sequence of Bell polynomials. Some sequences of this class have applications on the theory of hyperbolic differential equations and other sequences generalize Laguerre polynomials and associated Lah polynomials. We discuss, for these polynomials, their explicit expressions, relations to the successive derivatives of a given function, real zeros and recurrence relations. Some known results are significantly simplified.

We show that if \( G \) is a discrete Abelian group and \( A \subseteq G \) has \( \|1_A\|_{B(G)} \leq M \), then \( A \) is \( O(\exp(\pi M)) \)-stable in the sense of Terry and Wolf.
