1. Trees with distinguishing index equal distinguishing number plus oneSaeid Alikhani, Sandi Klavžar, Florian Lehner, Samaneh Soltani, 2020, original scientific article Abstract: The distinguishing number (index) D(G) (D'(G)) of a graph G is the least integer d such that G has an vertex (edge) labeling with d labels that is preserved only by the trivial automorphism. It is known that for every graph G we have D'(G) \leq D(G) + 1. In this note we characterize finite trees for which this inequality is sharp. We also show that if G is a connected unicyclic graph, then D'(G) = D(G).

2. The Graovac-Pisanski index of connected bipartite graphs with applications to hydrocarbon moleculesMatevž Črepnjak, Martin Knor, Niko Tratnik, Petra Žigert Pleteršek, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: The Graovac-Pisanski index, also called the modified Wiener index, was introduced in 1991 and represents an extension of the original Wiener index, because it considers beside the distances in a graph also its symmetries. Similarly as Wiener in 1947 showed the correlation of the Wiener indices of the alkane series with the boiling points, in 2018 the connection between the GraovacPisanski index and the melting points of some hydrocarbon molecules was established. In this paper, we prove that the Graovac-Pisanski index of any connected bipartite graph as well as of any connected graph on an even number of vertices is an integer number. These results are applied to some important families of hydrocarbon molecules. By using a computer programme, the graphs with a non-integer Graovac-Pisanski index on at most nine vertices are counted. Finally, an infinite class of unicyclic graphs with a non-integer Graovac-Pisanski index is described.

3. An application of the Sakai's theorem to the characterization of H*-algebrasBorut Zalar, 1995, original scientific article Abstract: The well-known Sakai's theorem, which states that every derivation acting on a von Neumann algebra is inner, is used to obtain a new elegant proof of the Saworotnow's characterization theorem for associative ▫$H^\ast$▫-algebras via two-sided ▫$H^\ast$▫-algebras. This proof completely avoids structure theory.

4. Tree-like isometric subgraphs of hypercubesBoštjan Brešar, Wilfried Imrich, Sandi Klavžar, 2003, original scientific article Abstract: Tree-like isometric subgraphs of hypercubes, or tree-like partial cubes as we call them, are a generalization of median graphs. Just as median graphs they capture numerous properties of trees, but may contain larger classes of graphs that may be easier to recognize than the class of median graphs. We investigate the structure of tree-like partial cubes, characterize them, and provide examples of similarities with trees and median graphs. For instance, we show that the cube graph of tree-like partial cube is dismantlable. This in particular implies that every tree-like partial cube ▫$G$▫ contains a cube that is invariant under every automorphism of ▫$G$▫. We also show that weak retractions preserve tree-like partial cubes, which in turn implies that every contraction of a tree-like partial cube fixes a cube. The paper ends with several Frucht-type results and a list of open problems.

5. The distinguishing chromatic number of Cartesian products of two complete graphsJanja Jerebic, Sandi Klavžar, 2010, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: Označitev grafa ▫$G$▫ je razlikovalna, če jo ohranja le trivialni avtomorfizem grafa ▫$G$▫. Razlikovalno kromatično število grafa ▫$G$▫ je najmanjše naravno število, za katero obstaja razlikovalna označitev grafa, ki je hkrati tudi dobro barvanje. Za vse ▫$k$▫ in ▫$n$▫ je določeno razlikovalno kromatično število kartezičnih produktov ▫$K_kBox K_n$▫. V večini primerov je enako kromatičnemu številu, kar med drugim odgovori na vprašanje Choia, Hartkeja and Kaula, ali obstajajo še kakšni drugi grafi, za katere velja enakost.

6. Distinguishing infite graphsWilfried Imrich, Sandi Klavžar, Vladimir Ivanovič Trofimov, 2007, original scientific article Abstract: Razlikovalno število, ▫$D(G)$▫, grafa ▫$G$▫, je najmanjše kardinalno število ▫$aleph$▫, tako da ▫$G$▫ premore označitev z ▫$aleph$▫ oznakami, ki jo ohranja samo trivialni avtomorfizem. Dokažemo, da je razlikovalno število števnega slučajnega grafa enako dva in da imajo drevesom podobni grafi z ne več kot kontinuum vozlišči razlikovalno število enako dva. Določimo tudi razlikovalno število za mnoge razrede neskončnih kartezičnih produktov. Na primer, ▫$D(Q_n) = 2$▫, kjer je ▫$Q_n$▫ neskončna hiperkocka dimenzije ▫$n$▫.

9. Distinguishing labellings of group action on vector spaces and graphsSandi Klavžar, Tsai-Lien Wong, Xuding Zhu, 2006, original scientific article Abstract: Suppose ▫$Gamma$▫ is a group acting on a set ▫$X$▫. A ▫$k$▫-labeling of ▫$X$▫ is a mapping ▫$c: to {1,2,...,k}$▫. A labeling ▫$c$▫ of ▫$X$▫ is distinguishing (with respect to the action of ▫$Gamma$▫) if for any ▫$g in Gamma$▫, ▫$g ne {mathrm{id}}_X$▫, there exists an element ▫$x in X$▫ such that ▫$c(x) ne c(g(x))▫$. The distinguishing number, ▫$D_Gamma(X)$▫, of the action of ▫$Gamma$▫ on ▫$X$▫ is the minimum ▫$k$▫ for which there is a ▫$k$▫-labeling which is distinguishing. This paper studies the distinguishing number of the linear group ▫$GL_n(K)$▫ over a field ▫$K$▫ acting on the vector space ▫$K^n$▫ and the distinguishing number of the automorphism group Aut▫$(G)$▫ of a graph ▫$G$▫ acting on ▫$V(G)$▫. The latter is called the distinguishing number of the graph ▫$G$▫ and is denoted by ▫$D(G)$▫. We determine the value of ▫$D_{GL_n(K)}(K^n)$▫ for all fields ▫$K$▫ and integers ▫$n$▫. For the distinguishing number of graphs, we study the possible value of the distinguishing number of a graph in terms of its automorphism group, its maximum degree, and other structure properties. It is proved that if ▫$mathrm{Aut}(G) = S_n$▫ and each orbit of Aut▫$(G)$▫ has size less than ▫$n choose n$▫, then ▫$D(G) = lceil n^{1/k} rceil$▫ for some positive integer ▫$k$▫. A Brooks type theorem for the distinguishing number is obtained: for any graph ▫$G$▫, ▫$D(G) le Delta(G)$▫, unless ▫$G$▫ is a complete graph, regular complete bipartite graph, or ▫$C_5$▫. We introduce the notion of uniquely distinguishable graphs and study the distinguishing number of disconnected graphs.
▫$Gamma$▫ deluje na množico ▫$X$▫. ▫$k$▫-označitev ▫$X$▫ je preslikava ▫$c: to {1,2,...,k}$▫. Označitev ▫$c$▫ množice ▫$X$▫ je razlikovalna (glede na delovanje ▫$Gamma$▫), če za vsak ▫$g in Gamma$▫, ▫$g ne {mathrm{id}}_X$▫ obstaja element ▫$x in X$▫, tako da je ▫$c(x) ne c(g(x))$▫. Razlikovalno število, ▫$D_Gamma(X)$▫, delovanja ▫$Gamma$▫ na ▫$X$▫, je najmanjši ▫$k$▫, za katerega obstaja ▫$k$▫-označitev, ki je razlikovalna. V tem članku študiramo razlikovalno število linearne grupe ▫$GL_n(K)$▫ nad poljem ▫$K$▫, ki deluje na vektorski prostor ▫$K^n$▫ in razlikovalno število grupe avtomorfizmov Aut▫$(G)$▫ grafa ▫$G$▫, ki deluje na ▫$V(G)$▫. Slednje je poimenovano razlikovalno število grafa ▫$G$▫ in označeno z ▫$D(G)$▫. V članku so določene vrednosti ▫$D_{GL_n(K)}(K^n)$▫ za vsa polja ▫$K$▫ in vsa števila ▫$n$▫. Glede razlikovalnega števila grafov študiramo možne vrednosti razlikovalnega števila grafa glede na njegovo grupo avtomorfizmov, njegovo največjo stopnjo in druge strukturne lastnosti. Dokazano je, da če je ▫$mathrm{Aut}(G) = S_n$▫ in ima vsaka orbita v Aut▫$(G)$▫ velikost manj kot ▫$n choose n$▫, tedaj je ▫$D(G) = lceil n^{1/k} rceil$▫ za neko naravno število ▫$k$▫. Dokazan je izrek Brooks-ovega tipa za razlikovalno število: za vsak graf ▫$G$▫ velja ▫$D(G) le Delta(G)$▫, razen če je ▫$G$▫ polni graf, regularni polni dovodelni graf, ali pa ▫$C_5$▫. Vpeljemo tudi pojem enolično razlikovalnih grafov in proučujemo razlikovalno število nepovezanih grafov.

10. Crossing numbers of Sierpiński-like graphsSandi Klavžar, Bojan Mohar, 2005, original scientific article Abstract: The crossing number of Sierpiński graphs ▫$S(n,k)$▫ and their regularizarions ▫$S^+(n,k)$▫ and ▫$S^{++}(n,k)$▫ are studied. Drawings of these graphs are presented and proved to be optimal for ▫$S^+(n,k)$▫ and ▫$S^{++}(n,k)$▫ for every ▫$n ge 1$▫ and ▫$k ge 1$▫. The crossing numbers of these graphs are expressed in terms of the crossing number of ▫$K_{k+1}$▫. These are the first nontrivial families of graphs of "fractal" type whose crossing number is known.
