A subset S of vertices of a graph G is independent if no two vertices of S are adjacent by an edge in G. Also we say that S is maximal independent if it is contained In no larger independent set in G. A planted plane tree is a tree that is embedded in the plane and rooted at an end-vertex. A (k＋1) -valent tree is a planted plane tree in which each vertex has degree one or (k＋1). We classify maximal independent sets of (k＋1) -valent trees into two groups, namely, type A and type B maximal independent sets and consider specific independent sets of these trees. We study relations among these three types of independent sets. Using the relations, we count the number of all maximal independent sets of (k＋1) -valent trees with n vertices of degree (k＋1).

Let G be a simple graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). A subset S of E(G) is called an edge cover of G if the subgraph induced by S is a spanning subgraph of G. The maximum number of edge covers which form a partition of E(G) is called edge covering chromatic number of G, denoted by X'c(G). It is known that for any graph G with minimum degree ${\delta},\;{\delta}-1{\le}X'c(G){\le}{\delta}$. If $X'c(G) ={\delta}$, then G is called a graph of CI class, otherwise G is called a graph of CII class. It is easy to prove that the problem of deciding whether a given graph is of CI class or CII class is NP-complete. In this paper, we consider the classification of nearly bipartite graph and give some sufficient conditions for a nearly bipartite graph to be of CI class.

Let G = (V, E) be a connected graph. The eccentric connectivity index of G is defined by ��C (G) = ∑u∈V (G) deg(u)e(u), where deg(u) and e(u) denote the degree and eccentricity of the vertex u in G, respectively. In this paper, we introduce a new formulation of ��C that will be called the distance eccentric connectivity index of G and defined by $${\xi}^{De}(G)\;=\;{\sum\limits_{u{\in}V(G)}}\;deg^{De}(u)e(u)$$ where degDe(u) denotes the distance eccentricity degree of the vertex u in G. The aim of this paper is to introduce and study this new topological index. The values of the eccentric connectivity index is calculated for some fundamental graph classes and also for some graph operations. Some inequalities giving upper and lower bounds for this index are obtained.

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.

Let G = (V, E) be a graph and k be a positive integer. A $k$-dominating set of G is a subset $S{\subseteq}V$ such that each vertex in $V{\backslash}S$ has at least $k$ neighbors in S. A Roman $k$-dominating function on G is a function $f$ : V ${\rightarrow}$ {0, 1, 2} such that every vertex ${\upsilon}$ with $f({\upsilon})$ = 0 is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices ${\upsilon}_1$, ${\upsilon}_2$, ${\ldots}$, ${\upsilon}_k$ with $f({\upsilon}_i)$ = 2 for $i$ = 1, 2, ${\ldots}$, $k$. In the paper titled "Roman $k$-domination in graphs" (J. Korean Math. Soc. 46 (2009), no. 6, 1309-1318) K. Kammerling and L. Volkmann showed that for any graph G with $n$ vertices, ${{\gamma}_{kR}}(G)+{{\gamma}_{kR}(\bar{G})}{\geq}$ min $\{2n,4k+1\}$, and the equality holds if and only if $n{\leq}2k$ or $k{\geq}2$ and $n=2k+1$ or $k=1$ and G or $\bar{G}$ has a vertex of degree $n$ - 1 and its complement has a vertex of degree $n$ - 2. In this paper we find a counterexample of Kammerling and Volkmann's result and then give a correction to the result.

The study aims to compare and analyze the social network structures of Qatar Airways,s Singapore Airlines, Emirates Airlines, and ANA Airlines, recording the top 1 to 4, and Korean Air in ninth by Skytrax's airline evaluations in 2022. This study uses NodeXL, a social network analysis program, to analyze the social networks of 5 airlines, Vertex, Unique Edges, Single-Vertex Connected Components, Maximum Geodesic Distance, Average Geodesic Distance, Average Degree Centrality, Average Closeness Centrality, and Average Betweenness Centrality as indicators to compare the differences in these social networks of the airlines. As a result, Singapore's social network has a better network structure than the other airlines' social networks in terms of sharing information and transmitting resources. In addition, Qatar Airways and Singapore Airlines are superior to the other airlines in playing roles and powers of influencers who affect the flow of information and resources and the interaction within the airline's social network. The study suggests some implications to enhance the usefulness of social networks for marketing.

Purpose: This study is to provide basic data of the dental acrylic denture base resin in the mechanical property difference investigation according to the monomer composition weight ratio of the acrylic denture base resin. Methods: The monomer composition of the acrylic denture base resin and weight ratio makes the different specimen. It measured the mechanical property with the specimens through Hardness Test, Tensile Test, Flexural Test, Flexural Modulus, FT-IR Test. Results: The control group Vertex was 18.4 Hv and the experimental group MED was 14.46~19.07Hv in the hardness test. Vertex was 364N, MED-3 was lowest in the tensile strength test and the Head of a family cursor declination was big. The result declination of the experimental specimens showed. Vertex and MED-2 was the highestest in the flexural test and after coming MED-6, MED-5, MED-1, MED-3, MED-4. Vertex and MED-2, as to a spectrum for $500{\sim}1800cm^{-1}$ peak can show the excellent degree of polymerization in the FT-IR Test. Conclusion: The ideal weight ratio of the monomer of the acrylic denture base resin of which the mechanical property is the highestest was MMA 100g, EDGMA 5g, DMA 0.2g, of MED-2.

In this paper, we find the maximum exponent of primitive simple graphs G under the restriction $deg(v){\geq}3$ for all vertex $v$ of G. Our result is also an answer of a Klee and Quaife type problem on exponent to find minimum number of vertices of graphs which have fixed even exponent and the degree of whose vertices are always at least 3.

We consider quasigroups $Q({\Gamma})$ obtained as certain double covers of the symmetric group $S_3$ of degree 3, for directed graphs ${\Gamma}$ on the vertex set $S_3$. We completely characterize the strong compatibility of elements of $Q({\Gamma})$ for any quasigroup nonuniform homogeneous space of degree 4. For such homogeneous spaces, we classify all the strong and weak compatibility graphs of $Q({\Gamma})$.

The Vertex Coloring Problem hasn't been solved in polynomial time, so this problem has been known as NP-complete. This paper suggests linear time algorithm for Vertex Coloring Problem (VCP). The proposed algorithm is based on assumption that we can't know a priori the minimum chromatic number ${\chi}(G)$=k for graph G=(V,E) This algorithm divides Vertices V of graph into two parts as independent sets $\overline{C}$ and cover set C, then assigns the color to $\overline{C}$. The element of independent sets $\overline{C}$ is a vertex ${\upsilon}$ that has minimum degree ${\delta}(G)$ and the elements of cover set C are the vertices ${\upsilon}$ that is adjacent to ${\upsilon}$. The reduced graph is divided into independent sets $\overline{C}$ and cover set C again until no edge is in a cover set C. As a result of experiments, this algorithm finds the ${\chi}(G)$=k perfectly for 26 Graphs that shows the number of selecting ${\upsilon}$ is less than the number of vertices n.
