Matrix-star and Half-Pancake graphs are modified versions of Star graphs, and has some good characteristics such as node symmetry and fault tolerance. This paper analyzes embedding between Matrix-star and Half-Pancake graphs. As a result, Matrix-star graphs $MS_{2,n}$ can be embedded into Half-Pancake graphs $HP_{2n}$ with dilation 5 and expansion 1. Also, Half Pancake Graphs, $HP_{2n}$ can be embedded into Matrix Star Graphs, $MS_{2,n}$ with the expansion cost, O(n). This result shows that algorithms developed from Star Graphs can be applied at Half Pancake Graphs with additional constant cost because Star Graphs, $S_n$ is a part graph of Matrix Star Graphs, $MS_{2,n}$.

A total coloring of a graph G is an assignment of colors to the elements of a graphs G such that no adjacent vertices and edges receive the same color. The total chromatic number of a graph G , denoted by χ''(G), is the minimum number of colors that suffice in a total coloring. In this paper, we proved the Behzad and Vizing conjecture for certain convex polytope graphs D^p_n, Q^p_n, R^p_n, E_n, S_n, G_n, T_n, U_n, C_n,respectively. This significant result in a graph G contributes to the advancement of graph theory and combinatorics by further confirming the conjecture's applicability to specific classes of graphs. The presented proof of the Behzad and Vizing conjecture for certain convex polytope graphs not only provides theoretical insights into the structural properties of graphs but also has practical implications. Overall, this paper contributes to the advancement of graph theory and combinatorics by confirming the validity of the Behzad and Vizing conjecture in a graph G and establishing its relevance to applied problems in sciences and engineering.

For two positive integers r and s, $\mathcal{G}$(n; r; ${\theta}_s$) denotes to the class of graphs on n vertices containing no r of edge disjoint ${\theta}_s$-graphs and f(n; r; ${\theta}_s$) = max{${\varepsilon}(G)$ : G ${\in}$ $\mathcal{G}$(n; r; ${\theta}_s$)}. In this paper, for integers r, $k{\geq}2$, we determine f(n; r; ${\theta}_{2k+1}$) and characterize the edge maximal members in G(n; r; ${\theta}_{2k+1}$).

The fundamental quandle is a powerful invariant of knots, links and spatial graphs, but it is often difficult to determine whether two quandles are isomorphic. One approach is to look at quotients of the quandle, such as the n-quandle defined by Joyce [8]; in particular, Hoste and Shanahan [5] classified the knots and links with finite n-quandles. Mellor and Smith [12] introduced the N-quandle of a link as a generalization of Joyce's n-quandle, and proposed a classification of the links with finite N-quandles. We generalize the N-quandle to spatial graphs, and investigate which spatial graphs have finite N-quandles. We prove basic results about N-quandles for spatial graphs, and conjecture a classification of spatial graphs with finite N-quandles, extending the conjecture for links in [12]. We verify the conjecture in several cases, and also present a possible counterexample.

A subset S of V (G), where G is a graph without isolated vertices, is a double dominating set of G if for each $x{{\in}}V(G)$, ${\mid}N_G[x]{\cap}S{\mid}{\geq}2$. This paper, shows that any positive integers a, b and n with $2{\leq}a<b$, $b{\geq}2a$ and $n{\geq}b+2a-2$, can be realized as domination number, double domination number and order, respectively. It also characterize the double dominating sets in the Cartesian and tensor products of two graphs and determine sharp bounds for the double domination numbers of these graphs. In particular, it show that if G and H are any connected non-trivial graphs of orders n and m respectively, then ${\gamma}_{{\times}2}(G{\square}H){\leq}min\{m{\gamma}_2(G),n{\gamma}_2(H)\}$, where ${\gamma}_2$, is the 2-domination parameter.

We extend a parallel depth-first search (DFS) algorithm for planar graphs to deal with (non-planar) solid grid graphs, a subclass of non-planar grid graphs. The proposed algorithm takes time O(log n) with $O(n/sqrt{log\;n})$ processors in Priority PRAM model. In our knowledge, this is the first deterministic NC algorithm for a non-planar graph class.

A graph is k-cyclable if given k vertices there is a cycle that contains the k vertices. Sallee showed that every finite 3-connected planar graph is 5-cyclable. In this paper Sallee's result is extended to 3-connected infinite locally finite VAP-free plane graphs containing no unbounded faces.

A graph is k-cyclable if given k vertices there is a cycle that contains the k vertices. Sallee showed that every finite 3-connected planar graph is 5-cyclable. In this paper, by characterizing the circuit graphs and investigating the structure of LV-graphs, we extend his result to 3-connected infinite locally finite VAP-free plane graphs.

The degree of hesitancy of a vertex in a hesitancy fuzzy graph depends on the degree of membership and non-membership of the vertex. We define a new class of hesitancy fuzzy graph, the intuitionistic hesitancy fuzzy graph in which the degree of hesitancy of a vertex is independent of the degree of its membership and non-membership. We introduce the idea of β-product of a pair of hesitancy fuzzy graphs and intuitionistic hesitancy fuzzy graphs and prove certain results based on this product.

An oriented graph is a digraph with no symmetric pairs of directed arcs and without loops. The score of a vertex $v_i$ in an oriented graph D is $a_{v_i}\;(or\;simply\;a_i)=n-1+d_{v_i}^+-d_{v_i}^-,\;where\; d_{v_i}^+\;and\;d_{v_i}^-$ are the outdegree and indegree, respectively, of $v_i$ and n is the number of vertices in D. In this paper, we give a new proof of Avery's theorem and obtain some stronger inequalities for scores in oriented graphs. We also characterize strongly transitive oriented graphs.
