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.

Let G = (V, E) be a (p, q) graph. Define $${\rho}=\{{\frac{2}{p}},\;{\text{{\qquad} if p is even}}\\{\frac{2}{p-1}},\;{{\text{if p is odd}}$$ and L = {±1, ±2, ±3, … , ±ρ} called the set of labels. Consider a mapping f : V ⟶ L by assigning different labels in L to the different elements of V when p is even and different labels in L to p-1 elements of V and repeating a label for the remaining one vertex when p is odd.The labeling as defined above is said to be a pair difference cordial labeling if for each edge uv of G there exists a labeling |f(u) - f(v)| such that ${\mid}{\Delta}_{f_1}-{\Delta}_{f^c_1}{\mid}{\leq}1$, where ${\Delta}_{f_1}$ and ${\Delta}_{f^c_1}$ respectively denote the number of edges labeled with 1 and number of edges not labeled with 1. A graph G for which there exists a pair difference cordial labeling is called a pair difference cordial graph. In this paper we investigate pair difference cordial labeling behaviour of Petersen graphs P(n, k) like P(n, 2), P(n, 3), P(n, 4).

Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A function $f:V{\rightarrow}\{-1,+1\}$ defined on the vertices of G is a signed total dominating function if the sum of its function values over any open neighborhood is at least one. The signed total domination number of G, ${\gamma}^s_t(G)$, is the minimum weight of a signed total dominating function of G. In this paper, we study the signed total domination number of generalized Petersen graphs P(n, 2) and prove that for any integer $n{\geq}6$, ${\gamma}^s_t(P(n,2))=2[\frac{n}{3}]+2t$, where $t{\equiv}n(mod\;3)$ and $0 {\leq}t{\leq}2$.

연결 그래프의 꼭지점에 자갈이 분포되어 있다고 하자. 한 꼭지점에서 두 개의 자갈을 취하여 한 개의 자갈만을 인접한 꼭지점에 보내는 이동을 할 때, 자갈이 분포될 수 있는 모든 경우에서 임의의 꼭지점에 한 개의 자갈을 보내기 위해 필요한 최소의 자갈의 수를 그 그래프의 pebbling number 라고 한다. 이 논문에서 Petersen Graph의 pebbling 수를 계산하였고 complete bipartite 그래프 $K_{m,n}$과 꼭지점의 수 h가 4개 이상인 complete 그래프의 categorical product 의 pebbling number가 (m+n)h 이 됨을 보였다.

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.
