β¦ Synopsis
The dumbbell graph, denoted by D a,b,c , is a bicyclic graph consisting of two vertex-disjoint cycles C a and C b joined by a path P c+3 (c -1) having only its end-vertices in common with the two cycles. By using a new cospectral invariant for (r, r + 1)-almost regular graphs, we will show that almost all dumbbell graphs (without cycle C 4 as a subgraph) are determined by the adjacency spectrum.

In this paper, some sufficient conditions are given on a graph G, under which it is proved that G {x} is determined by the generalized spectrum iff G is determined by the generalized spectrum, where G {x} is the graph obtained from the graph G by adding an isolated vertex x.
## Abstract A graph __G__ is domination perfect if for each induced subgraph __H__ of __G__, Ξ³(__H__) = __i__(__H__), where Ξ³ and __i__ are a graph's domination number and independent domination number, respectively. Zverovich and Zverovich [3] offered a finite forbidden induced characterization of
