1. Variety of mutual-visibility problems in graphsSerafino Cicerone, Gabriele Di Stefano, Lara Drožđek, Jaka Hedžet, Sandi Klavžar, Ismael G. Yero, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: If $X$ is a subset of vertices of a graph $G$, then vertices $u$ and $v$ are $X$-visible if there exists a shortest $u,v$-path $P$ such that $V(P)\cap X \subseteq \{u,v\}$. If each two vertices from $X$ are $X$-visible, then $X$ is a mutual-visibility set. The mutual-visibility number of $G$ is the cardinality of a largest mutual-visibility set of $G$ and has been already investigated. In this paper a variety of mutual-visibility problems is introduced based on which natural pairs of vertices are required to be $X$-visible. This yields the total, the dual, and the outer mutual-visibility numbers. We first show that these graph invariants are related to each other and to the classical mutual-visibility number, and then we prove that the three newly introduced mutual-visibility problems are computationally difficult. According to this result, we compute or bound their values for several graphs classes that include for instance grid graphs and tori. We conclude the study by presenting some inter-comparison between the values of such parameters, which is based on the computations we made for some specific families.

2. Maker-Breaker domination game on trees when Staller winsCsilla Bujtás, Pakanun Dokyeesun, Sandi Klavžar, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: In the Maker-Breaker domination game played on a graph $G$, Dominator's goal is to select a dominating set and Staller's goal is to claim a closed neighborhood of some vertex. We study the cases when Staller can win the game. If Dominator (resp., Staller) starts the game, then $\gamma_{\rm SMB}(G)$ (resp., $\gamma_{\rm SMB}'(G)$) denotes the minimum number of moves Staller needs to win. For every positive integer $k$, trees $T$ with $\gamma_{\rm SMB}'(T)=k$ are characterized and a general upper bound on $\gamma_{\rm SMB}'$ is proved. Let $S = S(n_1,\dots, n_\ell)$ be the subdivided star obtained from the star with $\ell$ edges by subdividing its edges $n_1-1, \ldots, n_\ell-1$ times, respectively. Then $\gamma_{\rm SMB}'(S)$ is determined in all the cases except when $\ell\ge 4$ and each $n_i$ is even. The simplest formula is obtained when there are at least two odd $n_i$s. If ▫$n_1$▫ and $n_2$ are the two smallest such numbers, then $\gamma_{\rm SMB}'(S(n_1,\dots, n_\ell))=\lceil \log_2(n_1+n_2+1)\rceil$▫. For caterpillars, exact formulas for $\gamma_{\rm SMB}$ and for $\gamma_{\rm SMB}'$ are established.

3. Generalized Pell graphsVesna Iršič, Sandi Klavžar, Elif Tan, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: In this paper, generalized Pell graphs $\Pi_{n,k}$, $k\ge 2$, are introduced. The special case of $k=2$ are the Pell graphs $\Pi_{n}$ defined earlier by Munarini. Several metric, enumerative, and structural properties of these graphs are established. The generating function of the number of edges of $\Pi_{n,k}$ and the generating function of its cube polynomial are determined. The center of $\Pi_{n,k}$ is explicitly described; if $k$ is even, then it induces the Fibonacci cube $\Gamma_{n}$. It is also shown that $\Pi_{n,k}$ is a median graph, and that $\Pi_{n,k}$ embeds into a Fibonacci cube.

5. Orientable domination in product-like graphsSarah Anderson, Boštjan Brešar, Sandi Klavžar, Kirsti Kuenzel, Douglas F. Rall, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The orientable domination number, ${\rm DOM}(G)$, of a graph $G$ is the largest domination number over all orientations of $G$. In this paper, ${\rm DOM}$ is studied on different product graphs and related graph operations. The orientable domination number of arbitrary corona products is determined, while sharp lower and upper bounds are proved for Cartesian and lexicographic products. A result of Chartrand et al. from 1996 is extended by establishing the values of ${\rm DOM}(K_{n_1,n_2,n_3})$ for arbitrary positive integers $n_1,n_2$ and $n_3$. While considering the orientable domination number of lexicographic product graphs, we answer in the negative a question concerning domination and packing numbers in acyclic digraphs posed in [Domination in digraphs and their direct and Cartesian products, J. Graph Theory 99 (2022) 359-377].

6. How to compute the M-polynomial of (chemical) graphsEmeric Deutsch, Sandi Klavžar, Gašper Domen Romih, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Let $G$ be a graph and let $m_{i,j}(G)$, $i,j\ge 1$, be the number of edges $uv$ of ▫$G$▫ such that $\{d_v(G), d_u(G)\} = \{i,j\}$. The M-polynomial of $G$ is $M(G;x,y) = \sum_{i\le j} m_{i,j}(G)x^iy^j$. A general method for calculating the M-polynomials for arbitrary graph families is presented. The method is further developed for the case where the vertices of a graph have degrees 2 and $p$, where $p\ge 3$, and further for such planar graphs. The method is illustrated on families of chemical graphs.

8. The cut method on hypergraphs for the Wiener indexSandi Klavžar, Gašper Domen Romih, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: The cut method has been proved to be extremely useful in chemical graph theory. In this paper the cut method is extended to hypergraphs. More precisely, the method is developed for the Wiener index of $k$-uniform partial cube-hypergraphs. The method is applied to cube-hypergraphs and hypertrees. Extensions of the method to hypergraphs arising in chemistry which are not necessary $k$-uniform and/or not necessary linear are also developed.

9. Computational complexity aspects of super dominationCsilla Bujtás, Nima Ghanbari, Sandi Klavžar, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Let ▫$G$▫ be a graph. A dominating set ▫$D\subseteq V(G)$▫ is a super dominating set if for every vertex ▫$x\in V(G) \setminus D$▫ there exists ▫$y\in D$▫ such that ▫$N_G(y)\cap (V(G)\setminus D)) = \{x\}$▫. The cardinality of a smallest super dominating set of ▫$G$▫ is the super domination number of ▫$G$▫. An exact formula for the super domination number of a tree ▫$T$▫ is obtained, and it is demonstrated that a smallest super dominating set of ▫$T$▫ can be computed in linear time. It is proved that it is NP-complete to decide whether the super domination number of a graph ▫$G$▫ is at most a given integer if ▫$G$▫ is a bipartite graph of girth at least ▫$8$▫. The super domination number is determined for all ▫$k$▫-subdivisions of graphs. Interestingly, in half of the cases the exact value can be efficiently computed from the obtained formulas, while in the other cases the computation is hard. While obtaining these formulas, II-matching numbers are introduced and proved that they are computationally hard to determine.

10. General position polynomialsVesna Iršič, Sandi Klavžar, Gregor Rus, James Tuite, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: A subset of vertices of a graph $G$ is a general position set if no triple of vertices from the set lie on a common shortest path in $G$. In this paper we introduce the general position polynomial as $\sum_{i \geq 0} a_i x^i$, where $a_i$ is the number of distinct general position sets of $G$ with cardinality $i$. The polynomial is considered for several well-known classes of graphs and graph operations. It is shown that the polynomial is not unimodal in general, not even on trees. On the other hand, several classes of graphs, including Kneser graphs $K(n,2)$, with unimodal general position polynomials are presented.
