Metric dimension of cycloparaphenylene and its derived molecular structures S. Prabhu, D. Sagaya Rani Jeba, M. Arulperumjothi, Paul Manuel Scientific Reports, 2026 A chemical graph is a mathematical depiction of a chemical molecule utilizing graph theory. It abstracts molecules by representing atoms as vertices and chemical bonds as edges. Each atom can be distinctly identified by measuring distances to a limited collection of reference atoms known as the resolving set, the minimal cardinality of which is referred to as the metric dimension. This parameter can aid in differentiating isomers or examining molecular symmetry. Highly symmetric molecules typically exhibit reduced metric dimensions, as fewer vertices are required to distinctly define all positions, which is advantageous in cheminformatics. This parameter is investigated for cycloparaphenylene, pyrene-containing π-extended carbon nanorings, cycloparaphenylene nanorings functionalised with graphenic hexabenzocoronene sidewalls, and polythiophene molecular structures.
Average distance between the processors of biswapped networks S. Prabhu, M. Anitha, N. Harish Vidyarth, Paul Manuel Scientific Reports, 2026 Biswapped networks provide an efficient way to interconnect nodes through transpose like operations that balance both connectivity and performance. A biswapped network is constructed by systematically biswapping edges within a base graph [Formula: see text], thereby preserving essential connectivity properties while enhancing structural symmetry. This improved symmetry contributes to fault tolerance and energy efficiency, making biswapped networks a promising model for robust network design. In this study, we investigate the sum of distances from a particular node to all others, the transmission of a node in a biswapped network, which is a key indicator of communication cost which helps to compute the novel distance based descriptor Wiener index. Furthermore, we analyze transmission values of biswapped networks derived from various base graphs. Finally, the average distance between the nodes of biswapped networks constructed by various base graphs were investigated.
The Central Metric Dimension of the k-Corona Graph Liliek Susilowati, Anis Nur Fitria, Inna Kuswandari, Savari Prabhu, Darmaji Statistics Optimization and Information Computing, 2026 The metric dimension is the minimum cardinality of a subset of the vertex set of a graph that uniquely represents each vertex in a graph. The central set is a set of vertices with minimum eccentricity. This central set concept can be used to determine strategic public service locations, such that accessible transportation can be reached from all regions. The central metric dimension is the minimum cardinality of a resolving set that includes the central set. This study aims to determine the central metric dimension in k-corona graph. The k-corona operation of G and H denoted by GoH is a generalization of the corona operation, where a new graph is formed by connecting each vertex of a graph G to k copies of graph H. The results show that the central metric dimension of the k-corona graph depends on the central set of G , the order of G , the value of k, and the metric dimension of H .
Fault-tolerant basis and fault-tolerant edge basis of three classes of French windmill graphs S. Prabhu, P. Angelin Kiruba, A. Davoodi, Paul Manuel Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2026 A resolving set is a subset of vertices that uniquely identifies every vertex based on distances. A fault-tolerant resolving set maintains this condition under any single-vertex removal, and the minimum size of such a set is the fault-tolerant metric dimension. Similarly, the edge metric dimension is defined as the minimum number of vertices required to distinguish all edge pairs, and its fault-tolerant variant ensures resiliency against node failures. Interconnection networks, which model parallel architectures, are naturally represented by graphs where vertices correspond to processing nodes and edges denote communication links. Among these, the windmill graph is a well-studied topology formed by joining several copies of a complete graph at a shared central vertex. In this work, we determine the exact values of the fault-tolerant metric dimension and fault-tolerant edge metric dimension for the French windmill graph and its subcases, providing insights into the structural robustness of such networks.
Metric dimension of star fan graph S. Prabhu, D. Sagaya Rani Jeba, Sudeep Stephen Scientific Reports, 2025 Every node in a network is said to be resolved if it can be uniquely identified by a vector of distances to a specific set of nodes. The metric dimension is equivalent to the least possible cardinal number of a resolving set. Conditional resolving sets are obtained by imposing various constraints on resolving set. It is a fundamental parameter that provides insights into the structural properties and navigability of graphs, with diverse applications across different fields. This article focuses on identifying the metric dimension for a new network, star fan graph.
Molecular characterization and information entropies of chevron-like graphene nanoribbons with chemical applications S. Manikanda Prabhu, A. R. Vijayalakshmi, S. Govardhan, S. Prabhu Scientific Reports, 2025 Carbon-based nanomaterials, such as graphene and graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), have attracted researchers because of their optoelectronic properties. One of the most intriguing properties of GNRs is their tunable bandgap. Unlike inherently metallic graphene sheets, GNRs can exhibit a bandgap, a crucial property for electronic devices. By controlling the width and edge configuration of GNRs, researchers can precisely tailor their electronic properties to meet specific requirements. Chevron-like graphene nanoribbons (ChGNRs) are a class of nanomaterials with unique properties due to their wavy morphology. The electrical conductivity of ChGNRs makes them potentially useful in devices like organic solar cells and transistors. In this study, we computed the Shannon's information entropy measures of ChGNRs using a variety of degree-based topological descriptors (TDs). The basic graph theoretical approach was utilized to derive the explicit mathematical equations of the TDs for the ChGNRs. The results were compared with cove-edged graphene nanoribbons (cGNRs) to analyze the thermodynamic stability of both ChGNRs and cGNRs and the different trends were pointed out.
Acyclic and star coloring parameters of fractal cubic networks C. Renuga, D. Meiyappan, S. Prabhu, M. Arulperumjothi Scientific Reports, 2025 Interconnection networks are more vital in telecommunications because of the significant raise in the demand for high-speed networks as a result of the widespread use of computers and the growth of the internet. The hypercube is a versatile network with outstanding qualities that are important for developing extensively in parallel and distributed systems, which include smaller size diameter, recursive structure, symmetry, regularity, low degree, and scalability. In the realm of distributed systems, scalability is seen as an elasticity component of interconnection networks. Fractal cubic networks, a new and novel variant of hypercubes, were recently investigated and have very important qualities such as scalability and better bisection width than traditional hypercubes. The task of assigning channels can be represented as a graph coloring problem. The vertices of a graph represent the transmitters, and if two transmitters are in close proximity to each other, their corresponding vertices are considered nearby. Wavelength assignment enhances the efficiency of wavelength-routed networks by determining routes and assigning wavelengths to connection requests while adhering to network topology and wavelength constraints. Investigation of the acyclic, acyclic edge, star, and star edge chromatic numbers for this newly proposed interconnection network, which is in striking contrast to the situation with hypercubes, where these invariants are intrinsically difficult. In this paper, we establish that for Fractal Cubic Networks (FCNs), the acyclic chromatic number is [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]. Additionally, for [Formula: see text], the star chromatic number [Formula: see text] and the acyclic edge chromatic number [Formula: see text] are both 4, while the star edge chromatic number is [Formula: see text].
