A facial total-coloring of a plane graph G is a coloring of the vertices and edges such that no facially adjacent edges (edges that are consecutive on the boundary walk of a face of G ), no adjacent vertices, and no edge and its endvertices are assigned the same color. A facial total-coloring of G is odd if for every face f and every color c , either no element or an odd number of elements incident with f is colored by c . In this paper, it is proved that every unicyclic plane graph admits an odd facial total-coloring with at most 10 colors. It is also shown that this bound is tight.

For the given graphs G and H , and for a positive integer k , the Gallai-Ramsey number is denoted by gr k ( G : H ) and is defined as the minimum integer n such that every coloring of the complete graph K n using at most k colors contains either a rainbow copy of G or a monochromatic copy of H . The k -color Ramsey number for G , denoted by R k ( G ) , is the minimum integer n such that every coloring of K n using at most k colors contains a monochromatic copy of G in some color. Let S n be the star graph on n edges and let P n be the path graph on n vertices. Denote by S + n the graph obtained from S n by adding an edge between any two pendant vertices. Let T n +2 be the tree on n + 2 vertices obtained from S n by subdividing one of its edges. In this paper, we consider gr k ( S 3 : H ) , where H ∈ { S n , S + n , P n , T n +2 } , and obtain its relation with R 2 ( H ) and R 3 ( H ) . We also obtain 3 -color Ramsey numbers for S n , S + n , and T n +2 .

For the symmetric group, some explicit expressions for these coefficients are known only in particular cases.

Let G be a connected graph of order n . Let D iag ( Tr ) be the diagonal matrix of vertex transmissions and let D ( G ) be the distance matrix of G . The distance signless Laplacian matrix of G is defined as D Q ( G ) = D iag ( Tr ) + D ( G ) and the eigenvalues of D Q ( G ) are called the distance signless Laplacian eigenvalues of G . Let ∂ Q 1 ( G ) ≥ ∂ Q 2 ( G ) ≥ · · · ≥ ∂ Q n ( G ) be the distance signless Laplacian eigenvalues of G . The largest eigenvalue ∂ Q 1 ( G ) is called the distance signless Laplacian spectral radius. We obtain a lower bound for ∂ Q 1 ( G ) in terms of the diameter and order of G . With a given interval I , denote by m D Q ( G ) I the number of distance signless Laplacian eigenvalues of G which lie in I . For a given interval I , we also obtain several bounds on m D Q ( G ) I in terms of various structural parameters of the graph G , including diameter and clique number.
设G是n阶连通图。设D iag(Tr)是顶点传输的对角矩阵,设D(G)是G的距离矩阵。G的距离无符号拉普拉斯矩阵定义为D Q(G)=D iag(Tr)+D(G),D Q(G)的特征值称为G的距离有符号拉普拉斯特征值。设?Q 1(G)≥?Q 2(G)≤··≥?Q n(G)为G的距离无符号拉普拉斯特征值。最大的特征值ŞQ1(G)称为距离无符号拉普拉斯谱半径。我们得到了根据G的直径和阶数表示的?Q1(G)的下界。对于给定的区间I,用m D Q(G)I表示位于I中的G的距离无符号拉普拉斯特征值的数目。对于给定的区间I,我们还根据图G的各种结构参数,包括直径和团数,获得了m D Q(G)I上的几个界。

The Padmakar-Ivan (PI) index of a graph G is defined as PI ( G ) = (cid:80) e ∈ E ( G ) ( | V ( G ) | − N G ( e )) , where N G ( e ) is the number of equidistant vertices for the edge e . A graph is perfect if for every induced subgraph H , the equation χ ( H ) = ω ( H ) holds, where χ ( H ) is the chromatic number and ω ( H ) is the size of a maximum clique of H . In this paper, the PI index of some types of perfect graphs is obtained. These types include co-bipartite graphs, line graphs, and prismatic graphs.
