  • For a simple, undirected graph G = (V, E), a perfect Roman dominating function (PRDF) f : V → {0, 1, 2} has the property that, every vertex u with f(u) = 0 is adjacent to exactly one vertex v for which f(v) = 2. The weight of a PRDF is the sum f(V) = ∑v∈V f(v). The minimum weight of a PRDF is called the perfect Roman domination number, denoted by γRP(G). Given a graph G and a positive integer k, the PRDF problem is to check whether G has a perfect Roman dominating function of weight at most k. In this paper, we first investigate the complexity of PRDF problem for some subclasses of bipartite graphs namely, star convex bipartite graphs and comb convex bipartite graphs. Then we show that PRDF problem is linear time solvable for bounded tree-width graphs, chain graphs and threshold graphs, a subclass of split graphs.

  • For a finite simplicial graph 𝚪, let G(𝚪) denote the right-angled Artin group on the complement graph of 𝚪. For path graphs Pk, cycle graphs C and complete bipartite graphs Kn,m, this article characterizes the embeddability of G(Kn,m) in G(Pk) and in G(C).

  • M. Junger, G. Reinelt, and W. R. Pulleyblank asked the following questions ([2]). (1) Is it true that every simple planar 2-edge connected bipartite graph has a 3-partition in which each component consists of the edge set of a simple path? (2) Does every simple planar 2-edge connected graph have a 3-partition in which every component consists of the edge set of simple paths and triangles? The purpose of this paper is to provide a positive answer to the second question for simple outerplanar 2-vertex connected graphs and a positive answer to the first question for simple planar 2-edge connected bipartite graphs one set of whose bipartition has at most 4 vertices.

  • 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.

  • For a (molecular) graph, the first and second Zagreb indices (M1 and M2) are two well-known topological indices, first introduced in 1972 by Gutman and Trinajstić. The first Zagreb index M1 is equal to the sum of the squares of the degrees of the vertices, and the second Zagreb index M2 is equal to the sum of the products of the degrees of pairs of adjacent vertices. Let $K_{n_1,n_2}^{P}$ with n1 $\leq$ n2, n1 + n2 = n and p < n1 be the set of bipartite graphs obtained by deleting p edges from complete bipartite graph Kn1,n2. In this paper, we determine sharp upper and lower bounds on Zagreb indices of graphs from $K_{n_1,n_2}^{P}$ and characterize the corresponding extremal graphs at which the upper and lower bounds on Zagreb indices are attained. As a corollary, we determine the extremal graph from $K_{n_1,n_2}^{P}$ with respect to Zagreb coindices. Moreover a problem has been proposed on the first and second Zagreb indices.
