We consider generalizations of the Tutte polynomial on multigraphs obtained by keeping the main recurrence relation T(G)=T(GΓe)+T(G&e) for e # E(G) neither a bridge nor a loop and dropping the relations for bridges and loops. Our first aim is to find the universal invariant satisfying these conditio

β¦ Synopsis
As a generalization of chromatic polynomials, this paper deals with real-valued mappings + on the class of graphs satisfying +(GI) = +(Gz) for all pairs GI, GZ of isomorphic graphs and +(G) = +(Ge) -rC/(G/e) for all graphs G and all edges e of G, where the definition of G/e is nonstandard. In particular, new inequalities for chromatic polynomials are presented.

Let (X, d) be a metric space and F : X ; X be a set valued mapping. We obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of a fixed point of the mapping F in the metric space X endowed with a graph G such that the set V (G) of vertices of G coincides with X and the set of edges of G is E(G) = {(x, y) :
## Abstract Let __K(p, q), p β€ q__, denote the complete bipartite graph in which the two partite sets consist of __p__ and __q__ vertices, respectively. In this paper, we prove that (1) the graph __K(p, q)__ is chromatically unique if __p__ β₯ 2; and (2) the graph __K(p, q)__ β __e__ obtained by del
