R. IranJournal Article20221017A perfect star packing in a fullerene graph G is a spanning subgraph of G whose every component is isomorphic to the star graph K_1,3. A perfect pseudo matching of a fullerene graph G is a spanning subgraph H of G such that each component of H is either K_2 or K_1,3. In this paper, we examine the number of perfect star packing in (3,6)-fullerene graphs and perfect pseudo matching in chamfered fullerene graphs.https://ijmc.kashanu.ac.ir/article_113782_dfb7cf23b0df76f5cbc228ac644a1ecb.pdfUniversity of KashanIranian Journal of Mathematical Chemistry2228-648914120230301On General Degree-Eccentricity Index For Trees with Fixed Diameter and Number of Pendent Vertices193211378310.22052/ijmc.2023.248566.1675ENMesfin MasreLegeseDepartment of Mathematics, Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, EthiopiaJournal Article20221117The general degree-eccentricity index of a graph $G$ is defined by,<br />$DEI_{a,b} (G) = \sum_{v \in V(G)} d_{G}^{a}(v) ecc_{G}^{b}(v)$ for $a, b \in \mathbb{R}$, where $V(G)$ is the vertex set of $G$, $ecc_{G}(v)$ is the eccentricity of a vertex $v$ and $d_{G}(v)$ is the degree of $v$ in $G$.<br /><br />In this paper, we generalize results on the general eccentric connectivity index for<br />trees.<br />We present upper and lower bounds on the general degree-eccentricity index for trees of given order and diameter, and trees of given order and number of pendant vertices.<br />The upper bounds hold for $a > 1$ and $b \in \mathbb{R}\setminus\{0\}$ and<br />the lower bounds holds for $0 < a < 1$ and $b \in \mathbb{R}\setminus\{0\}$.<br />We include the case $a = 1$ and $b \in \{-1, 1\}$ in those theorems for which the proof of that case is not complicated.<br />We present all the extremal graphs, which means that our bounds are best possible.https://ijmc.kashanu.ac.ir/article_113783_457519ec6e72467b35be4219b7d54e71.pdfUniversity of KashanIranian Journal of Mathematical Chemistry2228-648914120230301Entire Sombor Index of Graphs334511378410.22052/ijmc.2022.248350.1663ENFatemeMovahediGolestan University0000-0001-7863-7915Mohammad HadiAkhbariIslamic Azad UniversityJournal Article20220924Let $G=(V, E)$ be a simple graph with vertex set $V$ and edge set $E$. The Sombor index of the graph $G$ is a degree-based topological index, defined as<br />$$SO(G)=\sum_{uv \in E}\sqrt{d(u)^2+d(v)^2},$$<br />in which $d(x)$ is the degree of the vertex $x \in V$ for $x=u, v$. \\<br />In this paper, we introduce a new topological index called the entire Sombor index of a graph which is defined as the sum of the terms $\sqrt{d(x)^2+d(y)^2}$ where $x$ is either adjacent or incident to $y$ and $x, y \in V \cup E$. We obtain exact values of this new topological index in some graphs families. Some important properties of this index are obtained.https://ijmc.kashanu.ac.ir/article_113784_6f555b89eac722e52fdcf492d507111c.pdfUniversity of KashanIranian Journal of Mathematical Chemistry2228-648914120230301Edge Metric Dimension of Fullerenes475411378510.22052/ijmc.2022.248392.1666ENParvaneBonyabadiDepartment of pure Mathematics, Faculty of Mathematical Sciences,\\

Krakow, PolandJournal Article20220825We use the underlying hexagonal structure of graphene to identify uniquely the<br />position pertaining to a divacancy defect of type $V_2(555 − 777)$. This is achieved by<br />considering at most three closed path readings and the symmetry of the defective structure. We work in the corresponding rectangular model but still rely on the rotational<br />symmetry of the original hexagonal grid. Our approach is purely mathematical and<br />therefore there is no need for imaging technologies.https://ijmc.kashanu.ac.ir/article_113791_2ebfae39fdbdc1fa3851df9221e9e47c.pdf
