Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the success of the previous Special Issue published in Mathematics, containing 17 articles, we are pleased to announce a second edition of the Special Issue on Algebraic Structures and Graph Theory.

Connections between algebraic structure and graph theories have been established in order to solve some problems in one theory with the help of the tools existing in the other one, emphasizing their remarkable properties and providing new methods for problem solving. One very well-known example is the contribution by Artur Cayley, who defined the concept of a group in 1854 (the composition table of the operation takes his name, i.e., the Cayley table), and in 1878, described the structure of a group using a Cayley graph. There are many ways to define an algebraic structure (as a group, ring, hypergroup, lattice, etc.), and they usually start with a graph.

This Special Issue accepts original, high-quality contributions, where a connection between algebraic structures and graph theory is clearly presented. New theoretical aspects, as well as practical applications representing current research directions on this topic, are welcome. We also invite authors to submit review papers on the aforementioned topic.

Abstract
A graph is symmetric if its automorphism group is transitive on the arcs of the graph. Guo et al. determined all of the connected seven-valent symmetric graphs of order 8p for each prime p. We shall generalize this result by determining [...] Read more.
A graph is symmetric if its automorphism group is transitive on the arcs of the graph. Guo et al. determined all of the connected seven-valent symmetric graphs of order 8p for each prime p. We shall generalize this result by determining all of the connected seven-valent symmetric graphs of order 8pq with p and q to be distinct primes. As a result, we show that for each such graph of Γ, it is isomorphic to one of seven graphs. Full article

In this paper, we study semiconic idempotent commutative residuated lattices. After giving some properties of such residuated lattices, we obtain a structure theorem for semiconic idempotent commutative residuated lattices. As an application, we make use of the structure theorem to prove that the variety of strongly semiconic idempotent commutative residuated lattices has the amalgamation property. Full article

This paper investigates the radio labeling of friendship networks (F3,k,  F4,k,  F5,k, and  F6,k). In contrast, a mathematical model is proposed for determining the upper bound of radio numbers for (F3,k,  F4,k,  F5,k, and  F6,k). A computational investigation is presented to demonstrate that our results are superior to those of the past. In conclusion, the empirical study demonstrates that the proposed results surpass the previous ones in terms of the upper bound of the radio number and the run-time. Full article

A graph is edge-primitive if its automorphism group acts primitively on the edge set of the graph. Edge-primitive graphs form an important subclass of symmetric graphs. In this paper, edge-primitive graphs of order as a product of two distinct primes are completely determined. This depends on non-abelian simple groups with a subgroup of index pq being classified, where p>q are odd primes. Full article

Let S be a Clifford semigroup and A a subset of S. We write Cay(S,A) for the Cayley digraph of a Clifford semigroup S relative to A. The (weak, path, weak path) independence number of a graph is the maximum cardinality of an (weakly, path, weakly path) independent set of vertices in the graph. In this paper, we characterize maximal connected subdigraphs of Cay(S,A) and apply these results to determine the (weak, path, weak path) independence number of Cay(S,A). Full article

Let S(m,e) be a class of numerical semigroups with multiplicity m and embedding dimension e. We call a graph GS an S(m,e)-graph if there exists a numerical semigroup SS(m,e) with V(GS)={x:xg(S)} and E(GS)={xyx+yS}, where g(S) denotes the gap set of S. The aim of this article is to discuss the planarity of S(m,e)-graphs for some cases where S is an irreducible numerical semigroup. Full article

Let L be a lattice. The annihilating-ideal graph of L is a simple graph whose vertex set is the set of all nontrivial ideals of L and whose two distinct vertices I and J are adjacent if and only if IJ=0. In this paper, crosscap two annihilating-ideal graphs of lattices with at most four atoms are characterized. These characterizations provide the classes of multipartite graphs, which are embedded in the Klein bottle. Full article

Feynman diagrams represent one of the most powerful and fascinating tools developed in theoretical physics in the last century. Introduced within the framework of quantum electrodynamics as a suitable method for computing the amplitude of a physical process, they rapidly became a fundamental mathematical object in quantum field theory. However, their abstract nature seems to suggest a wider usage, which actually exceeds the physical context. Indeed, as mathematical objects, they could simply be considered graphs that depict not only physical quantities but also biological or economic entities. We survey the analytical and algebraic properties of such diagrams to understand their utility in several areas of science, eventually providing some examples of recent applications. Full article
