The isolated scattering number is a parameter that measures the vulnerability of networks. This measure is bounded by formulas de- pending on the independence number. We present new bounds on the isolated scattering number that can be calculated in polynomial time.

In this survey we present exact values and bounds on the Shannon capacity for different classes of graphs, for example for regular graphs and Kneser graphs. Additionally, we show a relation between Ramsey numbers and Shannon capacity.

A vertex-edge dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set $D$ of vertices of $G$ such that every edge of $G$ is incident with a vertex of $D$ or a vertex adjacent to a vertex of $D$. The vertex-edge domination number of a graph $G$, denoted by $\gamma_{ve}(T)$, is the minimum cardinality of a vertex-edge dominating set of $G$. We prove that for every tree $T$ of order $n \ge 3$ with $l$ leaves and $s$ support vertices we have $(n-l-s+3)/4...

The rotor-router mechanism was introduced as a deterministic alternative to the random walk in undirected graphs. In this model, a set of k identical walkers is deployed in parallel, starting from a chosen subset of nodes, and moving around the graph in synchronous steps. During the process, each node maintains a cyclic ordering of its outgoing arcs, and successively propagates walkers which visit it along its outgoing arcs in...
