In theoretical chemistry, the researchers use graph models to express the structure of molecular, and the Zagreb indices and multiplicative Zagreb indices defined on molecular graph G are applied to measure the chemical characteristics of compounds and drugs. In this paper, we present the exact expressions of multiplicative Zagreb indices for certain important chemical structures like nanotube, nanostar and polyomino chain.

We study the mixing rate of non-backtracking random walks on graphs by looking at non-backtracking walks as walks on the directed edges of a graph. A result known as Ihara’s Theorem relates the adjacency matrix of a graph to a matrix related to non-backtracking walks on the directed edges. We prove a weighted version of Ihara’s Theorem which relates the transition probability matrix of a non-backtracking walk to the transition matrix for the usual random walk. This allows us to determine the spectrum of the transition probability matrix of a non-backtracking random walk in the case of regular graphs and biregular graphs. As a corollary, we obtain a result of Alon et al. in [1] that in most cases, a non-backtracking random walk on a regular graph has a faster mixing rate than the usual random walk. In addition, we obtain an analogous result for biregular graphs.

The bipartite Star123-free graphs were introduced by V. Lozin in [1] to generalize some already known classes of bipartite graphs. In this paper, we extend to bipartite Star123-free graphs a linear time algorithm of J. L. Fouquet, V. Giakoumakis and J. M. Vanherpe for finding a maximum matching in bipartite Star123, P7-free graphs presented in [2]. Our algorithm is a solution of Lozin’s conjecture.

The question associated with total domination on the queen’s graph has a long and rich history, first having been posed by Ahrens in 1910 [1]. The question is this: What is the minimum number of queens needed so that every square of an n × n board is attacked? Beginning in 2005 with Amirabadi, Burchett, and Hedetniemi [2] [3], work on this problem, and two other related problems, has seen progress. Bounds have been given for the values of all three domination parameters on the queen’s graph. In this paper, formations of queens are given that provide new bounds for the values of total, paired, and connected domination on the queen’s graph, denoted , , and respectively.

Fuzzy greedoids were recently introduced as a fuzzy set generalization of (crisp) greedoids. We characterize fuzzy languages which define fuzzy greedoids, give necessary properties and sufficient properties of the fuzzy rank function of a fuzzy greedoid, give a characterization of the rank function for a weighted greedoid, and discuss the rank closure of a fuzzy greedoid.

A set is a dominating set of G if every vertex of is adjacent to at least one vertex of S. The cardinality of the smallest dominating set of G is called the domination number of G. The square G2 of a graph G is obtained from G by adding new edges between every two vertices having distance 2 in G. In this paper we study the domination number of square of graphs, find a bound for domination number of square of Cartesian product of cycles, and find the exact value for some of them.

A sentence over a finite alphabet A, is a finite sequence of non-empty words over A. More generally, we define a graphical sentence over A by attaching a non-empty word over A to each arrow and each loop of a connected directed graph (digraph, for short). Each word is written according to the direction of its corresponding arrow or loop. Graphical sentences can be used to encode sets of sentences in a compact way: the readable sentences of a graphical sentence being the sentences corresponding to directed paths in the digraph. We apply combinatorial equations on enriched trees and rooted trees, in the context of combinatorial species and Polya theories, to analyze parameters in classes of tree-like sentences. These are graphical sentences constructed on tree-like digraphs.
