1. A census of Cayley graphsRhys J. Evans, Primož Potočnik, 2026, original scientific article Abstract: Given positive integers $k$ and $n$, we present methods to construct all groups of order at most $n$ that contain a Cayley set of size $k$, and to enumerate the Cayley sets of order $k$ in a given group, up to the action of the automorphism group. We use these methods to generate complete lists of pairwise nonisomorphic $3$-valent Cayley graphs with at most 5,000 vertices and $4$-valent Cayley graphs with at most 1,025 vertices.

2. Builder-Blocker mutual-visibility gameVesna Iršič Chenoweth, Sandi Klavžar, Gregor Rus, Elif Tan, Jing Tian, 2026, original scientific article Abstract: This article discusses mutual-visibility in graphs through a game-based version of the problem. Two players, Builder and Blocker, alternately select an unmarked vertex on a graph keeping the property that the set of marked vertices forms a mutual-visibility set. The game ends when no such selection is possible. The goal of Builder is to create a largest possible mutual-visibility set, Blocker's goal is the opposite. The central problem here is to determine the number of vertices selected during the game assuming that both players played optimally. Bounds on this number are proved and several general properties of the game derived. Special attention is paid to complete multipartite graphs and Hamming graphs.

3. Maker-Breaker resolving game played on lexicographic products of graphsK. S. Savitha, Sandi Klavžar, Tijo James, 2026, original scientific article Abstract: In the Maker-Breaker resolving game, two players named Resolver and Spoiler alternately select unplayed vertices of a given graph $G$. The aim of Resolver is to select all the vertices of some resolving set of $G$, while Spoiler aims to select at least one vertex from every resolving set of $G$. In this paper, this game is investigated on the lexicographic product of graphs. It is proved that if Spoiler has a winning strategy on a graph $H$ no matter who starts the game, or if the first player has a winning strategy on $H$, then Spoiler always has a winning strategy on $G\circ H$. Special attention is paid to lexicographic products in which the second factor is a complete graph, a path, or a cycle. For instance, in $G\circ P_{2\ell}$ and in $G\circ C_{2\ell}$, Resolver always wins, while in $G\circ P_{2\ell+1}$ and in $G\circ C_{2\ell+1}$ the same conclusion holds provided $G$ is free from false twins. On the other hand, Spoiler always wins on $G\circ P_5$. In most of the cases, the corresponding Maker-Breaker resolving number is also determined.

4. FuDoBa : fusing document and knowledge graph based representations with Bayesian optimisationBoshko Koloski, Senja Pollak, Roberto Navigli, Blaž Škrlj, 2026, original scientific article Abstract: Building on the success of large language models (LLMs), LLM-based representations have dominated the document representation landscape, achieving strong performance on document embedding benchmarks. However, high-dimensional, computationally expensive LLM embeddings can be too generic or inefficient for domain-specific and resource-scarce applications. To address these limitations, we introduce FuDoBa—a Bayesian optimisation-based representation learning method that integrates LLM embeddings with domain-specific structured knowledge, sourced both locally and from external repositories such as WikiData. This fusion produces low-dimensional, task-relevant representations while reducing training complexity and yielding interpretable early-fusion weights for improved classification performance. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on six datasets across two domains, showing that when paired with robust AutoML-based classifiers, our method performs on par with, or surpasses, proprietary LLM-only embedding baselines, while offering modality-wise interpretability and a smaller dimensional footprint.

5. All generalized rose window graphs are hamiltonianSimona Bonvicini, Tomaž Pisanski, Arjana Žitnik, 2026, original scientific article Abstract: A bicirculant is a regular, $d$-valent graph that admits a semiregular automorphism of order $m$ having two vertex-orbits of size $m$. The vertices of each orbit induce a circulant graph of order $m$ and the remaining edges span a regular bipartite graph of valence, say $s, 1 \le s \le d$, connecting the two vertex-orbits. Generalized Petersen graphs constitute a prominent family of bicirculants, with $d=3$ and $s=1$. In 1983, Brian Alspach proved that all generalized Petersen graphs are hamiltonian, except for the family $G(m, 2)$ with $m \equiv 5$ ($\mod 6$). In this paper we conjecture that among all connected bicirculants of valence at least $2$, there are no other exceptions. It follows from various sources that the conjecture is true for all cubic bicirculants. In this paper we prove the conjecture for quartic bicirulants with $s=2$, also known as the generalized rose window graphs.

6. The $d$-distance $p$-packing domination number: complexity, cycles, and treesCsilla Bujtás, Vesna Iršič Chenoweth, Sandi Klavžar, Gang Zhang, 2026, original scientific article Abstract: A set of vertices $X\subseteq V(G)$ is a $d$-distance dominating set if for every $u\in V(G)\setminus X$ there exists $x\in X$ such that $d(u,x) \le d$, and $X$ is a $p$-packing if $d(u,v) \ge p+1$ for every different $u,v\in X$. The $d$-distance $p$-packing domination number $\gamma_d^p(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum size of a set of vertices of $G$ which is both a $d$-distance dominating set and a $p$-packing. It is proved that for every two fixed integers $d$ and $p$ with $2 \le d$ and $0 \le p \leq 2d-1$, the decision problem whether $\gamma_d^p(G) \leq k$ holds is NP-complete for bipartite planar graphs. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a $d$-distance $p$-packing dominating set in $C_n$ is obtained and $\gamma_d^p(C_n)$ determined for every $d$, $p$, and $n$. For a tree $T$ on $n$ vertices with $\ell$ leaves and $s$ support vertices it is proved that (i) $\gamma_2^0(T) \geq \frac{n-\ell-s+4}{5}$, (ii) $\left \lceil \frac{n-\ell-s+4}{5} \right \rceil \leq \gamma_2^2(T) \leq \left \lfloor \frac{n+3s-1}{5} \right \rfloor$, and if $d \geq 2$, then (iii) $\gamma_d^2(T) \leq \frac{n-2\sqrt{n}+d+1}{d}$. Inequality (i) improves an earlier bound due to Meierling and Volkmann, and independently Raczek, Lema\'nska, and Cyman, while (iii) extends an earlier result for $\gamma_2^2(T)$ due to Henning. Sharpness of the bounds is discussed and established in most cases. It is also proved that every connected graph $G$ contains a spanning tree $T$ such that $\gamma_2^2(T) \leq \gamma_2^2(G)$.

7. A remark on a result on odd colorings of planar graphsDinabandhu Pradhan, Vaishali Sharma, Riste Škrekovski, 2026, original scientific article Abstract: A proper ▫$k$▫-coloring of a graph is said to be odd if every non-isolated vertex has a color that appears an odd number of times on its neighborhood. Miao et al. (2024) [2] claimed that every planar graph without adjacent ▫$3$▫-cycles is odd ▫$7$▫-colorable and every triangle-free planar graph without intersecting ▫$4$▫-cycles is odd ▫$5$▫-colorable. Here, we point out that their published proof contains a fundamental flaw which affects the validity of the main results.

8. The ▫$\sigma$▫-irregularity of trees with maximum degree ▫$5$▫Darko Dimitrov, Žana Kovijanić-Vukićević, Goran Popivoda, Jelena Sedlar, Riste Škrekovski, Saša Vujošević, 2026, original scientific article Abstract: The ▫$\sigma$▫-irregularity, a variant of the well-established Albertson irregularity, is a topological invariant defined for a graph ▫$G=(V,E)$▫ as ▫$\sigma (G) = \sum_{u,v \in E}(d(u) - d(v))^2$▫, where ▫$d(u)$▫ and ▫$d(v)$▫ denote the degrees of vertices ▫$u$▫ and ▫$v$▫, respectively. Recent research has successfully characterized chemical trees with the maximum ▫$\sigma$▫-irregularity. In this paper, we expand upon this research by establishing several structural properties of maximal trees with prescribed maximum degree ▫$\Delta$▫. Application of these properties enables us to characterize maximal trees with ▫$\Delta = 5$▫. We establish that extremal trees contain only vertices of degrees ▫$1$▫, ▫$2$▫ and ▫$\Delta$▫. Moreover, the number of edges with both end-vertices having the degree ▫$2$▫ or ▫$\Delta$▫ is very small, so almost all edges have the (second) maximum possible contribution to ▫$\sigma$▫-irregularity. We believe this property or similar should extend to maximal trees for any value of ▫$\Delta$▫, so this is an interesting direction for further research.

9. The subpath number of cactus graphsMartin Knor, Jelena Sedlar, Riste Škrekovski, Yu Yang, 2026, original scientific article Abstract: The subpath number of a graph ▫$G$▫ is defined as the total number of subpaths in ▫$G$▫, and it is closely related to the number of subtrees, a well-studied topic in graph theory. This paper is a continuation of our previous paper Knor et al. (Knor M, Sedlar J, Škrekovski R, et al (2026) Invitation to the subpath number[J]. Appl Math Comput 509:129646), where we investigated the subpath number and identified extremal graphs within the classes of trees, unicyclic graphs, bipartite graphs, and cycle chains. Here, we focus on the subpath number of cactus graphs and characterize all maximal and minimal cacti with ▫$n$▫ vertices and ▫$k$▫ cycles. We prove that maximal cacti are cycle chains in which all interior cycles are triangles, while the two end-cycles differ in length by at most one. In contrast, the minimal cacti consist of ▫$k$▫ cycles, all of which are end-triangles, with the subgraph induced by the remaining vertices forming a forest. By comparing extremal cacti with respect to the subpath number to those that are extremal for the subtree number and the Wiener index, we demonstrate that the subpath number does not correlate with either of these quantities, as their corresponding extremal graphs differ.

10. Maximal product-based intuitionistic fuzzy line graphs for healthcare predictive analysisAnnamalai Meenakshi, J. Shivangi Mishra, Leo Mršić, Antonios Kalampakas, Sovan Samanta, Tofigh Allahviranloo, 2026, original scientific article Abstract: This paper explores the applications of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Graphs (ℐ ℱ � ) representing uncertainty and impre cision in complex systems through the analysis of correlation and regression coefficients (� ℛ� �) with focus on the maximal product. The study examines the relationships between the edges of the graph by analysing the line graph derived from ℐ ℱ � , facilitating a deeper understanding of the network’s dynamics. The construction of adjacency matrices that incorporate both membership and non-membership values enables the calculation of energy and weight scores, quantifying the strength and predictive correlations among variables. Furthermore, the study discusses the complement of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Line Graphs (ℐ ℱ ℒ � ), using maximal product anal ysis to uncover concealed relationships within the network. MATLAB is used to generate heatmaps that visually represent the importance of correlation to critical network characteristics. The practical importance is demon strated in a healthcare context, particularly in predicting diabetes risk by modelling factors of glucose levels, body mass index (BMI), and insulin. Heatmaps can be effectively visualized to show interrelationships between these features, aiding in the interpretation of network patterns.
