In 1950 a class of generalized Petersen graphs was introduced by Coxeter and around 1970 popularized by Frucht, Graver and Watkins. The family of $I$-graphs mentioned in 1988 by Bouwer et al. represents a slight further albeit important generalization of the renowned Petersen graph. We show that each $I$-graph $I(n,j,k)$ admits a unit-distance representation in the Euclidean plane. This implies that each generalized Petersen graph admits a unit-distance representation in the Euclidean plane. In particular, we show that every $I$-graph $I(n,j,k)$ has an isomorphic $I$-graph that admits a unit-distance representation in the Euclidean plane with a $n$-fold rotational symmetry, with the exception of the families $I(n,j,j)$ and $I(12m,m,5m)$, $m{\geq}1$. We also provide unit-distance representations for these graphs.

A clique-transversal set D of a graph G is a set of vertices of G such that D meets all cliques of G. The clique-transversal number is the minimum cardinality of a clique-transversal set in G. For every cubic graph with at most two bridges, we first show that it has a perfect matching which contains exactly one edge of each triangle of it; by the result, we determine the exact value of the clique-transversal number of line graph of it. Also, we present a sharp upper bound on the clique-transversal number of line graph of a cubic graph. Furthermore, we prove that the clique-transversal number of line graph of a triangle-free graph is at most the chromatic number of complement of the triangle-free graph.

For a given graph G = (V, E), a dominating set is a subset V' of the vertex set V so that each vertex in V ＼ V' is adjacent to a vertex in V'. The minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G is called the domination number of G and is denoted by γ(G). For an integer k ≥ 1, the k-th power G^k of a graph G with V (G^k) = V (G) for which uv ∈ E(G^k) if and only if 1 ≤ d_G(u, v) ≤ k. Note that G² is the square graph of a graph G. In this paper, we obtain some tight bounds for the sum of the domination numbers of a graph and its square graph in terms of the order, order and size, and maximum degree of the graph G. Also, we characterize such extremal graphs.

A power cordial labeling of a graph G = (V (G), E(G)) is a bijection f : V (G) → {1, 2, ..., |V (G)|} such that an edge e = uv is assigned the label 1 if f(u) = (f(v))ⁿ or f(v) = (f(u))ⁿ, For some n ∈ ℕ ∪ {0} and the label 0 otherwise, then the number of edges labeled with 0 and the number of edges labeled with 1 differ by at most 1. In this paper, we investigate power cordial labeling for helm graph, flower graph, gear graph, fan graph and jewel graph as well as larger graphs obtained from star and bistar using graph operations.

For a finite or an infinite set X, let $2^X$ be the power set of X. A class of simple graph, called strong Boolean graph, is defined on the vertex set $2^X{\setminus}\{X,{\emptyset}\}$, with M adjacent to N if $M{\cap}N={\emptyset}$. In this paper, we characterize the annihilating-ideal graphs $\mathbb{AG}(R)$ that are blow-ups of strong Boolean graphs, complemented graphs and preatomic graphs respectively. In particular, for a commutative ring R such that AG(R) has a maximum clique S with $3{\leq}{\mid}V(S){\mid}{\leq}{\infty}$, we prove that $\mathbb{AG}(R)$ is a blow-up of a strong Boolean graph if and only if it is a complemented graph, if and only if R is a reduced ring. If assume further that R is decomposable, then we prove that $\mathbb{AG}(R)$ is a blow-up of a strong Boolean graph if and only if it is a blow-up of a pre-atomic graph. We also study the clique number and chromatic number of the graph $\mathbb{AG}(R)$.

bipartite graph와 Euler graph의 정의를 사용하는 대신 이들 graph가 나타내는 특성을 사용하여 bipartite matroid와 Euler matroid를 정의하고 이들 matroid가 binary일 때 서로 dual 의 관계가 있음을 증명한다. 이 관계를 이용하여 bipartite graph와 Euler graph의 성질을 밝힐수 있다.

Graph is a major aspect of science textbooks. In this study, we investigated graph types and characteristics used in high school earth science subject by comparative analysis of science textbooks. The results of the analysis revealed that line graph and contour map was the most widely used graph types in earth science. Among line graphs, multiple line graph and YX graph was dominant. Comparing earth science graphs with other science graphs, earth science graphs exhibited superior in the number and variety. In earth science graphs, the portion of line graph was small, but the portion of contour map and scatter graph was larger than that of other science graphs. YX graph was the most specific graph type in earth science textbooks. The results of our study have implications for reform in function and structure of graph. We suggest that future studies be focused on students' ability of earth science graph interpretation.

A permutation graph over a graph G is a generalization of both a graph bundle and a graph covering over G. In this paper, we characterize the F-permutation graphs over a graph whose chromatic numbers are 2. We determine the chromatic numbers of $C_n$-permutation graphs over a tree and the $K_m$-permutation graphs over a cycle.

In this paper we characterize the graphs whose inserted graphs are Hamiltonian, and we study the relationship between Hamiltonian graphs and inserted graphs. Also we prove that if a connected graph G contains at least 3 vertices then inserted graph of the square of G is Hamiltonian and if G contains at least 3 edges then the square of inserted graph of G is Hamiltonian.

An infinite locally finite plane graph is an LV-graph if it is 3-connected and VAP-free. In this paper, as a preparatory work for solving the problem concerning the existence of a spanning 3-tree in an LV-graph, we investigate the existence of a spanning 3-forest in a bridge of type 0,1 or 2 of a tight semi ring in an LV-graph satisfying certain conditions.
