We prove that if $G$ is a sparse graph — it belongs to a fixed class of bounded expansion $\mathcal{C}$ — and $d\in \mathbb{N}$ is fixed, then the $d$th power of $G$ can be partitioned into cliques so that contracting each of these clique to a single vertex again yields a sparse graph. This result has several graph-theoretic and algorithmic consequences for powers of sparse graphs, including bounds on their subchromatic number and efficient approximation algorithms for the chromatic number and the clique number.

Let [Formula: see text] be a group. The co-maximal graph of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is a graph whose vertices are nontrivial elements of [Formula: see text] and two distinct vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are adjacent in [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we study some connections between the graph-theoretic properties of this graph and some algebraic properties of groups. For instance, we characterized all groups whose co-maximal graphs are connected and we show that if [Formula: see text] has no isolated vertex, then [Formula: see text] is connected with diameter at most 2. Moreover, we classify all groups whose co-maximal graphs are complete. Also, some results on the clique number and chromatic number of a co-maximal graph are given. In addition, the co-maximal graphs of abelian groups are studied.

Let R be a ring with unity and I(R)* be the set of all nontrivial left ideals of R. The intersection graph of ideals of R, denoted by G(R), is a graph with the vertex set I(R)* and two distinct vertices I and J are adjacent if and only if I ∩ J ≠ 0. In this paper, we study some connections between the graph-theoretic properties of this graph and some algebraic properties of rings. We characterize all rings whose intersection graphs of ideals are not connected. Also we determine all rings whose clique number of the intersection graphs of ideals is finite. Among other results, it is shown that for a ring R, if the clique number of G(R) is finite, then the chromatic number is finite and if R is a reduced ring, then both are equal.

Let R be a ring with identity and M be a unitary left R-module. The intersection graph of an R-moduleM, denoted by G(M), is defined to be the undirected simple graph whose vertices are in one to one correspondence with all non-trivial submodules of M and two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding submodules of M have nonzero intersection. We investigate the interplay between the module-theoretic properties of M and the graph-theoretic properties of G(M). We characterize all modules for which the intersection graph of submodules is connected. Also the diameter and the girth of G(M) are determined. We study the clique number and the chromatic number of G(M). Among other results, it is shown that if G(M) is a bipartite graph, then G(M) is a star graph.

Graph-theoretic properties of certain proximity graphs defined on planar point sets are investigated. We first consider some of the most common proximity graphs of the family of the Delaunay graph, and study their number of edges, minimum and maximum degree, clique number, and chromatic number. In the second part of the paper we focus on the higher order versions of some of these graphs and give bounds on the same parameters.

The intersection graph ITΓ(R) of gamma sets in the total graph TΓ(R) of a commutative ring R, is the undirected graph with vertex set as the collection of all γ-sets in the total graph of R and two distinct vertices u and v are adjacent if and only if u ∩ v ≠ ∅. Tamizh Chelvam and Asir [The intersection graph of gamma sets in the total graph I, to appear in J. Algebra Appl.] studied about ITΓ(R) where R is a commutative Artin ring. In this paper, we continue our interest on ITΓ(R) and actually we study about Eulerian, Hamiltonian and pancyclic nature of ITΓ(R). Further, we focus on certain graph theoretic parameters of ITΓ(R) like the independence number, the clique number and the connectivity of ITΓ(R). Also, we obtain both vertex and edge chromatic numbers of ITΓ(R). In fact, it is proved that if R is a finite commutative ring, then χ(ITΓ(R)) = ω(ITΓ(R)). Having proved that ITΓ(R) is weakly perfect for all finite commutative rings, we further characterize all finite commutative rings for which ITΓ(R) is perfect. In this sequel, we characterize all commutative Artin rings for which ITΓ(R) is of class one (i.e. χ′(ITΓ(R)) = Δ(ITΓ(R))). Finally, it is proved that the vertex connectivity and edge connectivity of ITΓ(R) are equal to the degree of any vertex in ITΓ(R).

AbstractLet R be a commutative ring with non-zero identity. In this paper, we introduce theweakly nilpotent graph of a commutative ring. The weakly nilpotent graph of R denoted by Γw(R) is a graph with the vertex set R* and two vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if x y ∊ N(R)*, where R* = R \ {0} and N(R)* is the set of all non-zero nilpotent elements of R. In this article, we determine the diameter of weakly nilpotent graph of an Artinian ring. We prove that if Γw(R) is a forest, then Γw(R) is a union of a star and some isolated vertices. We study the clique number, the chromatic number, and the independence number of Γw(R). Among other results, we show that for an Artinian ring R, Γw(R) is not a disjoint union of cycles or a unicyclic graph. For Artinan rings, we determine diam . Finally, we characterize all commutative rings R for which is a cycle, where is the complement of the weakly nilpotent graph of R.

We prove that if $G$ is the line graph of a multigraph, then the chromatic number $\chi(G)$ of $G$ is at most $\max\left\{\omega(G), \frac{7\Delta(G) + 10}{8}\right\}$ where $\omega(G)$ and $\Delta(G)$ are the clique number and the maximum degree of $G$, respectively. Thus Brooks' Theorem holds for line graphs of multigraphs in much stronger form. Using similar methods we then prove that if $G$ is the line graph of a multigraph with $\chi(G) \geq \Delta(G) \geq 9$, then $G$ contains a clique on $\Delta(G)$ vertices. Thus the Borodin-Kostochka Conjecture holds for line graphs of multigraphs.

Let $G$ be the intersection graph of a finite family of convex sets obtained by translations of a fixed convex set in the plane. We show that every such graph with clique number $k$ is $(3k-3)$-degenerate. This bound is sharp. As a consequence, we derive that $G$ is $(3k-2)$-colorable. We show also that the chromatic number of every intersection graph $H$ of a family of homothetic copies of a fixed convex set in the plane with clique number $k$ is at most $6k-6$.
