A graph \(G\) is called a fractional \((g, f, m)\)-deleted graph if after deleting any \(m\) edges, then the resulting graph admits a fractional \((g, f)\)-factor. In this paper, we prove that if \(G\) is a graph of order \(n\), and if \(1 \leq g(x) \leq f(x) \leq 6\) for any \(x \in V(G)\), \(\delta(G) \geq \frac{b^2(i-1)}{a} ++2m\), \(n > \frac{(a+b)(i(a+b)+2m-2)}{a}\) and \(|N_G(x_1) \cup N_G(x_2) \cup \cdots \cup N_G(x_i)| \geq \frac{bn}{a+b} \), for any independent set \(\{x_1, x_2, \ldots,x_i\}\) of \(V(G)\), where \(i \geq 2\), then \(G\) is a fractional \((g, f, m)\)-deleted graph. The result is tight on the neighborhood union condition.

In this short paper, we introduce the second order linear recurrence relation of the \(AB\)-generalized Fibonacci sequence and give the explicit formulas for the sums of the positively and negatively subscripted terms of the \(AB\)-generalized Fibonacci sequence by matrix methods. This sum generalizes the one obtained earlier by Kilig in \([2]\).

Only few results concerning crossing numbers of join of some graphs are known. In the paper, for the special graph \(G\) on six vertices, we give the crossing numbers of \(G\vee P_n\) and \(G\vee C_n\), \(P_n\) and \(C_n\) are the path and cycle on \(n\) vertices, respectively.

Recently, Dere and Simsek have treated some applications of umbral algebra. related to several special polynomials(see \([8]\)). In this paper, we derive some new and interesting identities of special polynomials involving Bernoulli, Euler and Laguerre polynomials arising from umbral calculus.

In this paper, we prove that for any tree \(T\), \(T^2\) is a divisor graph if and only if \(T\) is a caterpillar and the diameter of \(T\) is less than six. For any caterpillar \(T\) and a positive integer \(k \geq 1\) with \(diam(T) \leq 2k\), we show that \(T^k\) is a divisor graph. Moreover, for a caterpillar \(T\) and \(k \geq 3\) with \(diam(T) = 2k\) or \(diam(T) = 2k + 1\), we show that \(T^k\) is a divisor graph if and only if the centers of \(T\) have degree two.

To construct a large graph from two smaller ones that have same order, one can add an arbitrary perfect matching between their vertex-sets. The topologies of many networks are special cases of these graphs. An interesting and important problem is how to persist or even improve their link reliability and link fault-tolerance. Traditionally, this may be done by optimizing the edge connectivity of their topologies, a more accurate method is to improve their \(m\)-restricted edge connectivity. This work presents schemes for optimizing \(m\)- restricted edge connectivity of these graphs, some well-known results are direct consequences of our observations.

In this paper we introduce a new kind of generalized Pell numbers. This generalization is introduced in the distance sense. We give different interpretations and representations of these numbers.We present relations between distance Pell numbers and Fibonacci numbers. Moreover we describe graph interpretations of distance Pell numbers. These graphs interpretations in the natural way imply a new kind of generalized Jacobsthal numbers.

A graph \(G\) is called a fractional \((g, f, n’, m)\)-critical deleted graph if after deleting any \(n’\) vertices of \(G\) the remaining graph is a fractional \((g, f, m)\)-deleted graph. In this paper, we give two binding number conditions for a graph to be a fractional \((g, f, n’, m)\)-critical deleted graph.

In this paper, the notion of cyclic bursts in array codes equipped with a non-Hamming metric \([13]\) as a generalization of classical cyclic bursts \([5]\) is introduced and some bounds are obtained on the parameters of array codes for the detection and correction of cyclic burst array errors.
