In this paper, we present some sharp upper bounds for the number of spanning trees of a connected graph in terms of its structural parameters such as the number of vertices, the number of edges, maximum vertex degree, minimum vertex degree, connectivity and chromatic number.

## Abstract The path number of a graph __G__, denoted __p(G)__, is the minimum number of edgeβdisjoint paths covering the edges of __G.__ LovΓ‘sz has proved that if __G__ has __u__ odd vertices and __g__ even vertices, then __p(G)__ β€ 1/2 __u__ + __g__ β 1 β€ __n__ β 1, where __n__ is the total numbe
An upper bound for the harmonious chromatic number of a graph G is given. Three corollaries of the theorem are theorems or improvements of the theorems of Miller and Pritikin. The assignment of colors to the vertices of a graph such that each vertex has exactly one color has been studied for well o
The kdomination number of a graph G, y k ( G ) , is the least cardinality of a set U of verticies such that any other vertex is adjacent to at least k vertices of U. We prove that if each vertex has degree at least k. then YAG) 5 kp/(k + 1).
