Sufficient conditions on the zeroth-order general Randic index for maximally edge-connected digraphs
Lutz
Volkmann
Let $D$ be a finite and simple digraph with vertex set $V(D)$. For a vertex $v\in V(D)$, the degree of $v$, denoted by $d(v)$, is defined as the minimum value of its out-degree $d^+(v)$ and its in-degree $d^-(v)$. Now let $D$ be a digraph with minimum degree $\delta\ge 1$ and edge-connectivity $\lambda$. If $\alpha$ is real number, then, analogously to graphs, we define the zeroth-order general Randi\'{c} index by $\sum_{x\in V(D)}(d(x))^{\alpha}$. A digraph is maximally edge-connected if $\lambda=\delta$. In this paper, we present sufficient conditions for digraphs to be maximally edge-connected in terms of the zeroth-order general Randi\'{c} index, the order and the minimum degree when $\alpha <0$, $0<\alpha <1$ or $1<\alpha\le 2$. Using the associated digraph of a graph, we show that our results include some corresponding known results on graphs.

The minus k-domination numbers in graphs
N.
Dehgardi
For any integer $k\ge 1$, a minus $k$-dominating function is a function $f : V \rightarrow \{-1,0, 1\}$ satisfying $\sum_{w\in N[v]} f(w)\ge k$ for every $v\in V(G)$, where $N(v) =\{u \in V(G)\mid uv\in E(G)\}$ and $N[v] =N(v)\cup \{v\}$. The minimum of the values of $\sum_{v\in V(G)}f(v)$, taken over all minus $k$-dominating functions $f$, is called the minus $k$-domination number and is denoted by $\gamma^-_{k}(G)$. In this paper, we introduce the study of minus $k$-domination in graphs and present several sharp lower bounds on the minus $k$-domination number for general graphs.

New bounds on proximity and remoteness in graphs
P.
Dankelmann
The average distance of a vertex $v$ of a connected graph $G$ is the arithmetic mean of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices of $G$. The proximity $\pi(G)$ and the remoteness $\rho(G)$ of $G$ are defined as the minimum and maximum, respectively, average distance of the vertices of $G$. In this paper we investigate the difference between proximity or remoteness and the classical distance parameters diameter and radius. Among other results we show that in a graph of order $n$ and minimum degree $\delta$ the difference between diameter and proximity and the difference between radius and proximity cannot exceed $\frac{9n}{4(\delta+1)}+c_1$ and $\frac{3n}{4(\delta+1)}+c_2$, respectively, for constants $c_1$ and $c_2$ which depend on $\delta$ but not on $n$. These bounds improve bounds by Aouchiche and Hansen \cite{AouHan2011} in terms of order alone by about a factor of $\frac{3}{\delta+1}$. We further give lower bounds on the remoteness in terms of diameter or radius. Finally we show that the average distance of a graph, i.e., the average of the distances between all pairs of vertices, cannot exceed twice the proximity.

The convex domination subdivision number of a graph

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A set $D\subseteq V$ is a dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V\setminus D$ has at least one neighbor in $D$. The distance $d_G(u,v)$ between two vertices $u$ and $v$ is the length of a shortest $(u,v)$-path in $G$. An $(u,v)$-path of length $d_G(u,v)$ is called an $(u,v)$-geodesic. A set $X\subseteq V$ is convex in $G$ if vertices from all $(a, b)$-geodesics belong to $X$ for any two vertices $a,b\in X$. A set $X$ is a convex dominating set if it is convex and dominating set. The {\em convex domination number} $\gamma_{\rm con}(G)$ of a graph $G$ equals the minimum cardinality of a convex dominating set in $G$. {\em The convex domination subdivision number} sd$_{\gamma_{\rm con}}(G)$ is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (each edge in $G$ can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the convex domination number. In this paper we initiate the study of convex domination subdivision number and we establish upper bounds for it.

More skew-equienergetic digraphs
Ch.

Two digraphs of same order are said to be skew-equienergetic if their skew energies are equal. One of the open problems proposed by Li and Lian was to construct non-cospectral skew-equienergetic digraphs on n vertices. Recently this problem was solved by Ramane et al. In this paper, we give some new methods to construct new skew-equienergetic digraphs.

Bounds on the restrained Roman domination number of a graph
H.
Abdollahzadeh Ahangar
S.R.
Mirmehdipour
A {\em Roman dominating function} on a graph $G$ is a function $f:V(G)\rightarrow \{0,1,2\}$ satisfying the condition that every vertex $u$ for which $f(u) = 0$ is adjacent to at least one vertex $v$ for which $f(v) =2$. A {\em restrained Roman dominating} function $f$ is a Roman dominating function if the vertices with label 0 induce a subgraph with no isolated vertex. The weight of a restrained Roman dominating function is the value $\omega(f)=\sum_{u\in V(G)} f(u)$. The minimum weight of a restrained Roman dominating function of $G$ is called the { \em restrained Roman domination number} of $G$ and denoted by $\gamma_{rR}(G)$. In this paper we establish some sharp bounds for this parameter.
