The object of the present work is to construct all the generalized spectral functions of a certain class of Carleman operators in the Hilbert space $L^2\left(X,\mu \right)$ and establish the corresponding expansion theorems, when the deficiency indices are (1,1). This is done by constructing the generalized resolvents of $A$ and then using the Stieltjes inversion formula.

For positive integers d and m, let $P_{d,m}\left(G\right)$ denote the property that between each pair of vertices of the graph G, there are m internally vertex disjoint paths of length at most d. For a positive integer t a graph G satisfies the minimum generalized degree condition δₜ(G) ≥ s if the cardinality of the union of the neighborhoods of each set of t vertices of G is at least s. Generalized degree conditions that ensure that $P_{d,m}\left(G\right)$ is satisfied have been investigated. In particular, it has been shown, for fixed positive...

Say that a cycle C almost contains a cycle C¯ if every edge except one of C¯ is an edge of C. Call a graph G strongly pancyclic if every nontriangular cycle C almost contains another cycle C¯ and every nonspanning cycle C is almost contained in another cycle C⁺. This is equivalent to requiring, in addition, that the sizes of C¯ and C⁺ differ by one from the size of C. Strongly pancyclic graphs are pancyclic and chordal, and their cycles enjoy certain interpolation and extrapolation properties with...

The study of valuations of graphs is a relatively young part of graph theory. In this article we survey what is known about certain graph valuations, that is, labeling methods: antimagic labelings, edge-magic total labelings and vertex-magic total labelings.

E. Prisner in his book Graph Dynamics defines the $k$-path-step operator on the class of finite graphs. The $k$-path-step operator (for a positive integer $k$) is the operator $S_k^{\text{'}}$ which to every finite graph $G$ assigns the graph $S_k^{\text{'}}\left(G\right)$ which has the same vertex set as $G$ and in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if there exists a path of length $k$ in $G$ connecting them. In the paper the trees and the unicyclic graphs fixed in the operator $S_3^{\text{'}}$ are studied.

The basis number of a graph $G$ was defined by Schmeichel to be the least integer $h$ such that $G$ has an $h$-fold basis for its cycle space. He proved that for $m,n\ge 5$, the basis number $b\left(K_{m,n}\right)$ of the complete bipartite graph $K_{m,n}$ is equal to 4 except for $K_{6,10}$, $K_{5,n}$ and $K_{6,n}$ with $n=5,6,7,8$. We determine the basis number of some particular non-planar graphs such as $K_{5,n}$ and $K_{6,n}$, $n=5,6,7,8$, and $r$-cages for $r=5,6,7,8$, and the Robertson graph.

In this article we determine the crossing numbers of the Cartesian products of given three graphs on five vertices with paths.

Kulli and Muddebihal [V.R. Kulli, M.H. Muddebihal, Characterization of join graphs with crossing number zero, Far East J. Appl. Math. 5 (2001) 87-97] gave the characterization of all pairs of graphs which join product is planar graph. The crossing number cr(G) of a graph G is the minimal number of crossings over all drawings of G in the plane. There are only few results concerning crossing numbers of graphs obtained as join product of two graphs. In the paper, the exact values of crossing numbers...

There are several known exact results on the crossing numbers of Cartesian products of paths, cycles or stars with "small" graphs. Let H be the 5-vertex graph defined from K₅ by removing three edges incident with a common vertex. In this paper, we extend the earlier results to the Cartesian products of H × Pₙ and H × Cₙ, showing that in the general case the corresponding crossing numbers are 3n-1, and 3n for even n or 3n+1 if n is odd.

The crossing numbers of Cartesian products of paths, cycles or stars with all graphs of order at most four are known. For the path Pn of length n, the crossing numbers of Cartesian products G⃞Pn for all connected graphs G on five vertices are also known. In this paper, the crossing numbers of Cartesian products G⃞Pn for graphs G of order six are studied. Let H denote the unique tree of order six with two vertices of degree three. The main contribution is that the crossing number of the Cartesian...

An edge ordering of a graph G is an injection f : E(G) → R, the set of real numbers. A path in G for which the edge ordering f increases along its edge sequence is called an f-ascent ; an f-ascent is maximal if it is not contained in a longer f-ascent. The depression of G is the smallest integer k such that any edge ordering f has a maximal f-ascent of length at most k. A k-kernel of a graph G is a set of vertices U ⊆ V (G) such that for any edge ordering f of G there exists a maximal f-ascent of...

The dichromatic number dc(D) of a digraph D is defined to be the minimum number of colors such that the vertices of D can be colored in such a way that every chromatic class induces an acyclic subdigraph in D. The cyclic circulant tournament is denoted by [...] T=C→2n+1(1,2,…,n) $T={\overrightarrow{C}}_{2n+1}(1,2,...,n)$ , where V (T) = ℤ2n+1 and for every jump j ∈ 1, 2, . . . , n there exist the arcs (a, a + j) for every a ∈ ℤ2n+1. Consider the circulant tournament [...] C→2n+1〈k〉 ${\overrightarrow{C}}_{2n+1}〈k〉$ obtained from the cyclic tournament by reversing one...
