β¦ Synopsis
Let G be a simple graph with n vertices, e edges and vertex degrees &, d2 ..... d~. It is proved that d2+ ... +d~<~e(2e/(n-1)+ n-2) when n~>2. This bound does not generalize to all sequences of positive integers. A comparison is made to another upper bound on d 2 +. β’ -+ d 2, due to Sz6kely et al. (1992). Our inequality follows from the positive semidefiniteness of a certain quadratic form in (2) variables. We also apply the inequality to bounding the total number of triangles in a graph and its complement. (~

## Abstract A graph is point determining if distinct vertices have distinct neighborhoods. The nucleus of a pointβdetermining graph is the set __G__^O^ of all vertices, __v__, such that __G__β__v__ is point determining. In this paper we show that the size, Ο(__G__), of a maximum clique in __G__ sat
## Abstract We produce in this paper an upper bound for the number of vertices existing in a clique of maximum cardinal. The proof is based in particular on the existence of a maximum cardinal clique that contains no vertex __x__ such that the neighborhood of __x__ is contained in the neighborhood
## Abstract The upper bound for the harmonious chromatic number of a graph that has been given by SinβMin Lee and John Mitchem is improved.
