The main aim of this study is to characterize new classes of multicone graphs which are determined by their adjacency spectra, their Laplacian spectra, their complement with respect to signless Laplacian spectra and their complement with respect to their adjacency spectra. A multicone graph is defined to be the join of a clique and a regular graph. If n is a positive integer, a friendship graph $F_n$ consists of n edge-disjoint triangles that all of them meet in one vertex. It is proved that any connected graph cospectral to a multicone graph $F_n{\nabla}F_n=K_2{\nabla}nK_2{\nabla}nK_2$ is determined by its adjacency spectra as well as its Laplacian spectra. In addition, we show that if $n{\neq}2$, the complement of these graphs are determined by their adjacency spectra. At the end of the paper, it is proved that multicone graphs $F_n{\nabla}F_n=K_2{\nabla}nK_2{\nabla}nK_2$ are determined by their signless Laplacian spectra and also we prove that any graph cospectral to one of multicone graphs $F_n{\nabla}F_n$ is perfect.

If G is any connected graph of order p; then the thorn graph $G_p^*$ with code ($n_1$, $n_2$, ${\cdots}$, $n_p$) is obtained by adding $n_i$ pendent vertices to each $i^{th}$ vertex of G. By treating the pendent edge of a thorn graph as $P_2$, $K_2$, $K_{1,1}$, $K_1{\circ}K_1$ or $P_1{\circ}K_1$, we generalize a thorn graph by replacing $P_2$ by $P_m$, $K_2$ by $K_m$, $K_{1,1}$ by $K_{m,n}$, $K_1{\circ}K_1$ by $K_m{\circ}K_1$ and $P_1{\circ}K_1$ by $P_m{\circ}K_1$ and their respective generalized thorn graphs are denoted by $G_P$, $G_K$, $G_B$, $G_{KK}$ and $G_{PK}$ respectively. Many chemical compounds can be treated as $G_P$, $G_K$, $G_B$, $G_{KK}$ and $G_{PK}$ of some graphs in graph theory. In this paper, we obtain the bounds of the wiener index for these generalization of thorn graphs.

Suppose that G = (V, E) is a connected locally finite graph with the vertex set V and the edge set E. Let ${\Omega}{\subset}V$ be a bounded domain. Consider the following quasilinear elliptic equation on graph G $$\{-{\Delta}_{pu}={\lambda}K(x){\mid}u{\mid}^{p-2}u+f(x,u),\;x{\in}{\Omega}^{\circ},\\u=0,\;x{\in}{\partial}{\Omega},$$ where ${\Omega}^{\circ}$ and ${\partial}{\Omega}$ denote the interior and the boundary of ${\Omega}$, respectively, ${\Delta}_p$ is the discrete p-Laplacian, K(x) is a given function which may change sign, ${\lambda}$ is the eigenvalue parameter and f(x, u) has exponential growth. We prove the existence and monotonicity of the principal eigenvalue of the corresponding eigenvalue problem. Furthermore, we also obtain the existence of a positive solution by using variational methods.

We consider the minimum order of a graph G with a given lazy cop number $c_L(G)$. Sullivan, Townsend and Werzanski [7] showed that the minimum order of a connected graph with lazy cop number 3 is 9 and $k_3{\square}k_3$ is the unique graph on nine vertices which requires three lazy cops. They conjectured that for a graph G on n vertices with ${\Delta}(G){\geq}n-k^2$, $c_L(G){\leq}k$. We proved that the conjecture is true for k = 4. Furthermore, we showed that the Petersen graph is the unique connected graph G on 10 vertices with ${\Delta}(G){\leq}3$ having lazy cop number 3 and the minimum order of a connected graph with lazy cop number 4 is 16.

The Klee-Quaife problem is finding the minimum order ${\mu}(d,c,v)$ of the $(d,c,v)$ graph, which is a $c$-vertex connected $v$-regular graph with diameter $d$. Many authors contributed finding ${\mu}(d,c,v)$ and they also enumerated and classied the graphs in several cases. This problem is naturally extended to the case of digraphs. So we are interested in the extended Klee-Quaife problem. In this paper, we deal with an equivalent problem, finding the maximum diameter of digraphs with given order, focused on 2-regular case. We show that the maximum diameter of strongly connected 2-regular digraphs with order $n$ is $n-3$, and classify the digraphs which have diameter $n-3$. All 15 nonisomorphic extremal digraphs are listed.

The atom-bond connectivity index of a graph G (ABC index for short) is defined as the summation of quantities $\sqrt{\frac{d(u)+d(v)-2}{d(u)d(v)}}$ over all edges of G. A cactus graph is a connected graph in which every block is an edge or a cycle. The aim of this paper is to obtain the first and second maximum values of the ABC index among all n vertex cactus graphs.

For a finite commutative ring R with identity 1 ≠ 0, the zero divisor graph ��(R) is a simple connected graph having vertex set as the set of nonzero zero divisors of R, where two vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy = 0. We find the signless Laplacian spectrum of the zero divisor graphs ��(ℤn) for various values of n. Also, we find signless Laplacian spectrum of ��(ℤn) for n = pz, z ≥ 2, in terms of signless Laplacian spectrum of its components and zeros of the characteristic polynomial of an auxiliary matrix. Further, we characterise n for which zero divisor graph ��(ℤn) are signless Laplacian integral.

For a connected graph G = (V,E) of order at least two, a set S of vertices of G is a monophonic set of G if each vertex v of G lies on an x - y monophonic path for some elements x and y in S. The minimum cardinality of a monophonic set of G is the monophonic number of G, denoted by m(G). Certain general properties satisfied by the monophonic sets are studied. Graphs G of order p with m(G) = 2 or p or p - 1 are characterized. For every pair a, b of positive integers with $2{\leq}a{\leq}b$, there is a connected graph G with m(G) = a and g(G) = b, where g(G) is the geodetic number of G. Also we study how the monophonic number of a graph is affected when pendant edges are added to the graph.

본 논문은 지금까지 NP-완전인 난제로 알려진 4-색 정리를 $O(n)$선형시간 복잡도로 수기식과 컴퓨터를 활용하여 증명하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 그래프 $G=(V_1,E_1)$의 정점 집합 V를 최대 독립집합 $\bar{C_1}$와 최소 정점 피복 집합 $C_1$으로 정확히 양분하는 기법을 적용하여 $\bar{C_1}$에 첫 번째 색을 배정하고, $C_1$ 집합의 정점들로 축소된 연결 그래프 $G=(V_2,E_2)$를 대상으로 $\bar{C_2}$와 $C_2$로 양분하여 $\bar{C_2}$에 두 번째 색을 지정하였다. $C_2$ 집합의 정점들로 축소된 연결 그래프 $G=(V_3,E_3)$를 대상으로 $\bar{C_3}$와 $C_3$로 양분하여 $\bar{C_3}$에 세 번째 색을 지정하였다. 마지막으로$C_3$를 $\bar{C_4}$로 하여 4번째 색을 배정하였다. 2개의 실제 지도 그래프와 2개의 평면 그래프를 대상으로 제안된 알고리즘을 적용한 결과 모든 그래프에서 채색수 ${\chi}(G)=4$를 찾는데 성공하였다. 결국, 제안된 "4-색 알고리즘"은 평면 그래프의 4-색을 결정하는 일반적인 알고리즘으로 적용할 수 있을 것이다.
