The 1-crossing index of a graph G is the smallest integer k such that the k th iterated line graph of G has crossing number greater than 1. In this paper, we show that the 1-crossing index of a graph is either infinite or it is at most 5. Moreover, we give a full characterization of all graphs with respect to their 1-crossing index.

The line graph of a graph G is another graph of which the vertex set corresponds to the edge set of G, and two vertices of the line graph of G are adjacent if the corresponding edges in G share a common vertex. A graph is reflexive if the second-largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix is no greater than 2. Reflexive graphs give combinatorial ground to generate two classes of algebraic numbers, Salem and Pisot numbers. The difficult question of identifying those graphs whose line graphs are reflexive (called L-reflexive graphs) is naturally attacked by first answering this question for trees. Even then, however, an elegant full characterization of reflexive line graphs of trees has proved to be quite formidable. In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm for the exhaustive generation of maximal L-reflexive trees.

In terms of concepts from the theory of graphs and hypergraphs we formulate a precise structural characterization of a kinematic chain. To do this, we require the operations of line graph, intersection graph, and hypergraph duality. Using these we develop simple algorithms for constructing the unique graph G (KC) of a kinematic chain KC and (given an admissible graph G) for forming the unique kinematic chain whose graph is G. This one-to-one correspondence between kinematic chains and a class of graphs enables the mathematical and logical power, precision, concepts, and theorems of graph theory to be applied to gain new insights into the structure of kinematic chains.

In this paper, we consider the problem of planarity and outerplanarity of iterated line graphs of the unit, unitary and total graphs when R is a finite commutative ring. We give a full characterization of all these graphs with respect to their planarity and outerplanarity indexes.

The distance or D-eigenvalues of a graph G are the eigenvalues of its distance matrix. The distance or D-energy ED(G) of the graph G is the sum of the absolute values of its D-eigenvalues. Two graphs G1 and G2 are said to be D-equienergetic if ED(G1) = ED(G2). Let F1 be the 5-vertex path, F2 the graph obtained by identifying one vertex of a triangle with one end vertex of the 3-vertex path, F3 the graph obtained by identifying a vertex of a triangle with a vertex of another triangle and F4 be the graph obtained by identifying one end vertex of a 4-vertex star with a middle vertex of a 3-vertex path. In this paper we show that if G is r-regular, with diam(G)? 2, and Fi,i = 1,2,3,4, are not induced subgraphs of G, then the k-th iterated line graph Lk(G) has exactly one positive D-eigenvalue. Further, if G is r-regular, of order n, diam(G)?2, and G does not have Fi,i=1,2,3,4, as an induced subgraph, then for k ?1, ED(Lk(G)) depends solely on n and r. This result leads to the construction of non D-cospectral, D-equienergetic graphs having same number of vertices and same number of edges.

Although cyclo[18]carbon has been theoretically and experimentally investigated since long time ago, only very recently it was prepared and directly observed by means of STM/AFM in condensed phase (Kaiser et al., <i>Science</i>, <b>365</b>, 1299 (2019)). The unique ring structure and dual 18-center π delocalization feature bring a variety of unusual characteristics and properties to the cyclo[18]carbon, which are quite worth to be explored. In this work, we present an extremely comprehensive and detailed investigation on almost all aspects of the cyclo[18]carbon, including (1) Geometric characteristics (2) Bonding nature (3) Electron delocalization and aromaticity (4) Intermolecular interaction (5) Reactivity (6) Electronic excitation and UV/Vis spectrum (7) Molecular vibration and IR/Raman spectrum (8) Molecular dynamics (9) Response to external field (10) Electron ionization, affinity and accompanied process (11) Various molecular properties. We believe that our full characterization of the cyclo[18]carbon will greatly deepen researchers' understanding of this system, and thereby help them to utilize it in practice and design its various valuable derivatives.
