Abstract
Much has been written about the golden ratio $\phi=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$ and
this strange number appears mysteriously in many mathematical calculations. In
this article, we review the appearance of this number in the graph theory. More
precisely, we review the relevance of this number in topics such as the number
of spanning trees, topological indices, energy, chromatic roots, domination
roots and the number of domatic partitions of graphs.
