For a spanning tree T of a connected graph ${\Gamma}$ and for a labelling ${\phi}$: E(T) ${\rightarrow}$ {+,-},${\phi}$ is called an alternating sign on a spanning tree T of a graph ${\Gamma}$ if for any cotree edge $e{\in}E({\Gamma})-E(T)$, the unique path in T joining both end vertices of e has alternating signs. In the present article, we prove that any graph has a spanning tree T and an alternating sign on T.

In this paper, we derive analytical closed results for the first (a, b)-KA index, the Sombor index, the modified Sombor index, the first reduced (a, b)-KA index, the reduced Sombor index, the reduced modified Sombor index, the second reduced (a, b)-KA index and the mean Sombor index mSO_α for the OTIS biswapped networks by considering basis graphs as path, wheel graph, complete bipartite graph and r-regular graphs. Network theory plays a significant role in electronic and electrical engineering, such as signal processing, networking, communication theory, and so on. A topological index (TI) is a real number associated with graph networks that correlates chemical networks with a variety of physical and chemical properties as well as chemical reactivity. The Optical Transpose Interconnection System (OTIS) network has recently received increased interest due to its potential uses in parallel and distributed systems.

An L(p₁, p₂, p₃, . . . , p_m)-labeling of a graph G is an assignment of non-negative integers, called as labels, to the vertices such that the vertices at distance i should have at least pi as their label difference. If p₁ = 4, p₂ = 3, p₃ = 2, p₄ = 1, then it is called a L(4, 3, 2, 1)-labeling which is widely studied in the literature. A L(4, 3, 2, 1)-path coloring of graphs, is a labeling g : V (G) → Z⁺ such that there exists at least one path P between every pair of vertices in which the labeling restricted to this path is a L(4, 3, 2, 1)-labeling. This concept was defined and results for some simple graphs were obtained by the same authors in an earlier article. In this article, we study the concept of L(4, 3, 2, 1)-path coloring for complete bipartite graphs, 2-edge connected split graph, Cartesian product and join of two graphs and prove an existence theorem for the same.

Let G be a graph on the vertex set $V(G)=\{x_1,{\cdots},x_n\}$ with the edge set E(G), and let $R=K[x_1,{\cdots},x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field K. Two monomial ideals are associated to G, the edge ideal I(G) generated by all monomials $x_i,x_j$ with $\{x_i,x_j\}{\in}E(G)$, and the vertex cover ideal $I_G$ generated by monomials ${\prod}_{x_i{\in}C}{^{x_i}}$ for all minimal vertex covers C of G. A minimal vertex cover of G is a subset $C{\subset}V(G)$ such that each edge has at least one vertex in C and no proper subset of C has the same property. Indeed, the vertex cover ideal of G is the Alexander dual of the edge ideal of G. In this paper, for an unmixed bipartite graph G we consider the lattice of vertex covers $L_G$ and we explicitly describe the minimal free resolution of the ideal associated to $L_G$ which is exactly the vertex cover ideal of G. Then we compute depth, projective dimension, regularity and extremal Betti numbers of R/I(G) in terms of the associated lattice.

A basis of the cycle space C (G) is d-fold if each edge occurs in at most d cycles of C(G). The basis number, b(G), of a graph G is defined to be the least integer d such that G has a d-fold basis for its cycle space. MacLane proved that a graph G is planar if and only if $b(G)\;{\leq}\;2$. Schmeichel showed that for $n\;{\geq}\;5,\;b(K_{n}\;{\bullet}\;P_{2})\;{\leq}\;1\;+\;b(K_n)$. Ali proved that for n, $m\;{\geq}\;5,\;b(K_n\;{\bullet}\;K_m)\;{\leq}\;3\;+\;b(K_n)\;+\;b(K_m)$. In this paper, we give an upper bound for the basis number of the semi-strong product of a bipartite graph with a cycle.

Let G be a graph and k is a positive integer. Hammack and Livesay in [The inner power of a graph, Ars Math. Contemp., 3 (2010), no. 2, 193-199] introduced a new graph operation $G^{(k)}$, called the $k^{th}$ inner power of G. In this paper, it is proved that if G is bipartite then $G^{(2)}$ has exactly three components such that one of them is bipartite and two others are isomorphic. As a consequence the edge frustration index of $G^{(2)}$ is computed based on the same values as for the original graph G. We also compute the first and second Zagreb indices and coindices of $G^{(2)}$.

The product rate variation problem, to be called the PRVP, is to sequence different type units that minimizes the maximum value of a deviation function between ideal and actual rates. The PRVP is an important scheduling problem that arises on mixed-model assembly lines. A surge of research has examined very interesting methods for the PRVP. We believe, however, that several issues are still open with respect to this problem. In this study, we consider convex bipartite graphs, perfect matchings, permanents and balanced sequences. The ultimate objective of this study is to show that we can provide a more efficient and in-depth procedure with a graph theoretic approach in order to solve the PRVP. To achieve this goal, we propose formal alternative proofs for some of the results stated in the previous studies, and establish several new results.

Let ${\kappa}$ be a positive integer and let G be a simple graph with vertex set V(G). A function f : V (G) ${\rightarrow}$ {-1, 1} is called a signed total ${\kappa}$-dominating function if ${\sum}_{u{\in}N({\upsilon})}f(u){\geq}{\kappa}$ for each vertex ${\upsilon}{\in}V(G)$. A set ${f_1,f_2,{\ldots},f_d}$ of signed total ${\kappa}$-dominating functions of G with the property that ${\sum}^d_{i=1}f_i({\upsilon}){\leq}1$ for each ${\upsilon}{\in}V(G)$, is called a signed total ${\kappa}$-dominating family (of functions) of G. The maximum number of functions in a signed total ${\kappa}$-dominating family of G is the signed total k-domatic number of G, denoted by $d^t_{kS}$(G). In this note we initiate the study of the signed total k-domatic numbers of graphs and present some sharp upper bounds for this parameter. We also determine the signed total signed total ${\kappa}$-domatic numbers of complete graphs and complete bipartite graphs.

In 1977, Ganter and Teirlinck proved that any $2t\;\times\;2t$ matrix with 2t nonzero elements can be partitioned into four sub-matrices of order t of which at most two contain nonzero elements. In 1978, Kramer and Mesner conjectured that any $mt{\times}nt$ matrix with kt nonzero elements can be partitioned into mn submatrices of order t of which at most k contain nonzero elements. In 1995, Brualdi et al. showed that this conjecture is true if $m = 2,\;k\;\leq\;3\;or\;k\geq\;mn-2$. They also found a counterexample of this conjecture when m = 4, n = 4, k = 6 and t = 2. When t = 2, we show that this conjecture is true if $k{\leq}5$.

In this paper, the concept of connected geodesic number, $gn_c(G)$, of a fuzzy graph G is introduced and its limiting bounds are identified. It is proved that all extreme nodes of G and all cut-nodes of the underlying crisp graph $G^*$ belong to every connected geodesic cover of G. The connected geodesic number of complete fuzzy graphs, fuzzy cycles, fuzzy trees and of complete bipartite fuzzy graphs are obtained. It is proved that for any pair k, n of integers with $3{\leq}k{\leq}n$, there exists a connected fuzzy graph G : (V, ${\sigma}$, ${\mu}$) on n nodes such that $gn_c(G)=k$. Also, for any positive integers $2{\leq}a<b{\leq}c$, it is proved that there exists a connected fuzzy graph G : (V, ${\sigma}$, ${\mu}$) such that the geodesic number gn(G) = a and the connected geodesic number $gn_c(G)=b$.
