In this paper, we study the circular choosability recently introduced by Mohar \([5]\) and Zhu \([11]\). In this paper, we show that the circular choosability of planar graphs with girth at least \(\frac{10n+8}{3}\) is at most \(2 + \frac{2}{n}\), which improves the earlier results.

An orientation of a simple graph \(G\) is called an oriented graph. If \(D\) is an oriented graph, \(\delta(D)\) its minimum degree and \(\lambda(D)\) its edge-connectivity, then \(\lambda(D) \leq \delta(D)\). The oriented graph is called maximally edge-connected if \(\lambda(D) = \delta(D)\) and super-edge-connected, if every minimum edge-cut is trivial. If \(D\) is an oriented graph with the property that the underlying graph \(G(D)\) contains no complete subgraph of order \(p+1\), then we say that the clique number \(\omega(D)\) of \(D\) is less or equal \(p\).
In this paper, we present degree sequence conditions for maximally edge-connected and super-edge-connected oriented graphs \(D\) with clique number \(\omega(D) \leq p\) for an integer \(p \geq 2\).

A proper total coloring of a graph \(G\) is called Smarandachely adjacent vertex total coloring of graph if for any two adjacent and distinct vertices \(u\) and \(v\) in \(G\), the set of colors assigned to the vertices and the edges incident to \(u\) doesn’t contain the set of colors assigned to the vertices and the edges incident to \(v\), vice versa. The minimal number of colors required for a Smarandachely adjacent vertex total coloring of graph is called the Smarandachely adjacent vertex total chromatic number of graph. In this paper, we define a kind of \(3\)-regular Multilayer Cycle \(Re(n,m)\) and obtain the Smarandachely adjacent vertex total chromatic number of it.

A perfectly one-factorable (PIF) regular graph \(G\) is a graph admitting a partition of the edge-set into one-factors such that the union of any two of them is a Hamiltonian cycle. We consider the case in which \(G\) is a cubic graph. The existence of a PIF cubic graph is guaranteed for each admissible value of the number of vertices. We give conditions for determining PIF graphs within a subfamily of generalized Petersen graphs.

In this paper, we give the generalization \(\{G_{k,n}\}_{n\in N }\) of \(k\)-Fibonacci and \(k\)-Lucas numbers. After that, by using this generalization, some new algebraic properties on these numbers have been obtained.

Let \(K_q(n, R)\) denote the least cardinality of a \(q\)-ary code of length \(n\), such that every \(q\)-ary word of length \(n\) differs from at least one word in the code in at most \(R\) places. We use a method of Blass and Litsyn to derive the bounds \(K_4(5,2) \geq 14\) and \(K_4(6,2) \geq 32\).

Let \(d_{q}(n,k)\) be the maximum possible minimum Hamming distance of a linear \([n, k]\) code over \(\mathbb{F}_q\). Tables of best known linear codes exist for all fields up to \(q = 9\). In this paper, linear codes over \(\mathbb{F}_{11}\) are constructed for \(k\) up to \(7\). The codes constructed are from the class of quasi-twisted codes. These results show that there exists a \((78,8)\) arc in \(\text{PG}(2,11)\). In addition, the minimum distances of the extended quadratic residue codes of lengths \(76\), \(88\) and \(108\) are determined.

The distribution of distances in the star graph \( S{T_n} \) (\(1 < n \in \mathbb{Z}\)) is established, and subsequently a threaded binary tree is obtained that realizes an orientation of \( S{T_n} \) whose levels are given by the distances to the identity permutation, via a pruning algorithm followed by a threading algorithm. In the process, the distributions of distances of the efficient dominating sets of \( S{T_n} \) are determined.

A set \(D\) of vertices in a graph \(G = (V, E)\) is a locating-dominating set if for every two vertices \(u, v\) in \(V \setminus D\), the sets \(N(u) \cap D\) and \(N(v) \cap D\) are non-empty and different. We establish two equivalent conditions for trees with unique minimum locating-dominating sets.

Let \( [n]^* \) denote the set of integers \(\{-\frac{n-1}{2}, \ldots, \frac{n-1}{2}\}\) if \(n\) is odd, and \(\{-\frac{n}{2}, \ldots, \frac{n}{2}\} \setminus \{0\}\) if \(n\) is even. A super edge-graceful labeling \(f\) of a graph \(G\) of order \(p\) and size \(q\) is a bijection \(f : E(G) \to [q]^*\), such that the induced vertex labeling \(f^*\) given by \(f^*(u) = \sum_{uv \in E(G)} f(uv)\) is a bijection \(f^* : V(G) \to [p]^*\). A graph is super edge-graceful if it has a super edge-graceful labeling. We prove that total stars and total cycles are super edge-graceful.
