Distinguishing Number of Non-Zero Component Graphs

A non-zero component graph $G(\mathbb{V})$ associated to a finite vector space $\mathbb{V}$ is a graph whose vertices are non-zero vectors of $\mathbb{V}$ and two vertices are adjacent, if their corresponding vectors have at least one non-zero component common in their linear combination of basis vectors. In this paper, we extend the study of properties of automorphisms of non-zero component graphs. We prove that every permutation of basis vectors can be extended to an automorphism of $G(\mathbb{V})$. We prove that the symmetric group of basis vectors of $\mathbb{V}$ is isomorphic to the automorphism group of $G(\mathbb{V})$. We find the distinguishing number of the graph for both of the cases, when the number of field elements of vector space $\mathbb{V}$ are 2 or more than 2.

Soft Rough Graphs

Soft set theory and rough set theory are mathematical tools to deal with uncertainties. In [3], authors combined these concepts and introduced soft rough sets. In this paper, we introduce the concepts of soft rough graphs, vertex and edge induced soft rough graphs and soft rough trees. We define some products with examples in soft rough graphs.

On the zero forcing number of corona and lexicographic product of graphs

The zero forcing number of a graph $G$, denoted by $Z(G)$, is the minimum cardinality of a set $S$ of black vertices (where vertices in $V(G)\setminus S$ are colored white) such that $V(G)$ is turned black after finitely many applications of $"$the color change rule$"$: a white vertex is turned black if it is the only white neighbor of a black vertex. In this paper, we study the zero forcing number of corona product, $G\odot H$ and lexicographic product, $G\circ H$ of two graphs $G$ and $H$. It is shown that if $G$ and $H$ are connected graphs of order $n_{1}\geq2$ and $n_{2}\geq2$ respectively, then $Z(G\odot ^{k}H)=Z(G\odot ^{k-1}H)+n_{1}(n_{2}+1)^{k-1}Z(H)$, where $G\odot^{k}H=(G\odot^{k-1}H)\odot H$. Also, it is shown that for a connected graph $G$ of order $n\geq 2$ and an arbitrary graph $H$ containing $l\geq 1$ components $H_{1},H_{2}, \cdots,H_{l}$ with $|V(H_{i})|=m_{i}\geq 2$, $1\leq i\leq l$, $(n-1)l+\sum\limits_{i=1}^l m_{i}\leq Z(G\circ H)\leq n(\sum\limits_{i=1}^{l}m_{i})-l$.

On fixing sets of composition and corona product of graphs

A fixing set $\mathcal{F}$ of a graph $G$ is a set of those vertices of the graph $G$ which when assigned distinct labels removes all the automorphisms from the graph except the trivial one. The fixing number of a graph $G$, denoted by $fix(G)$, is the smallest cardinality of a fixing set of $G$. In this paper, we study the fixing number of composition product, $G_1[G_2]$ and corona product, $G_1 \odot G_2$ of two graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$ with orders $m$ and $n$ respectively. We show that for a connected graph $G_1$ and an arbitrary graph $G_2$ having $l\geq 1$ components $G_2^1$, $G_2^2$, ... $G_2^l,$ $mn-1\geq fix(G_1[G_2])\geq m\left(\sum \limits_{i=1}^{l} fix(G_2^i )\right)$. For a connected graph $G_1$ and an arbitrary graph $G_2$, which are not asymmetric, we prove that $fix(G_1\odot G_2)=m fix( G_2)$. Further, for an arbitrary connected graph $G_{1}$ and an arbitrary graph $G_{2}$ we show that $fix(G_1\odot G_2)= max\{fix(G_1), m fix(G_2)\}$.

On The Fixed Number of Graphs

An automorphism on a graph $G$ is a bijective mapping on the vertex set $V(G)$, which preserves the relation of adjacency between any two vertices of $G$. An automorphism $g$ fixes a vertex $v$ if $g$ maps $v$ onto itself. The stabilizer of a set $S$ of vertices is the set of all automorphisms that fix vertices of $S$. A set $F$ is called fixing set of $G$, if its stabilizer is trivial. The fixing number of a graph is the cardinality of a smallest fixing set. The fixed number of a graph $G$ is the minimum $k$, such that every $k$-set of vertices of $G$ is a fixing set of $G$. A graph $G$ is called a $k$-fixed graph if its fixing number and fixed number are both $k$. In this paper, we study the fixed number of a graph and give construction of a graph of higher fixed number from graph with lower fixed number. We find bound on $k$ in terms of diameter $d$ of a distance-transitive $k$-fixed graph.
