    Abstract: In this paper, we use the number of vertices with degree greater than or equal to 3 as a criterion for trees being opposition graphs. Finally, we prove some families of graphs such as the complement of Pn, Cn with n≥3 and n = 4k, for k∈ℕ, are opposition graphs and some families of graphs such as the complement of Tn, Cn with n≥3 and n ≠ 4k, for k∈ℕ...

    Abstract: Recurrence relations is one of the fundamental Mathematical tools of computation as most computational tasks rely on recursive techniques at one time or the other. In this paper, we present some important theorems on recurrence relations and give more simplified approach of determining an explicit formula for a given recurrence relation subject to ... Show More

    Abstract: The spectral theory of graphs and hypergraphs is an active and important research field in graph and hypergraph theory. And it has extensive applications in the fields of computer science, communication networks, information science, statistical mechanics and quantum chemistry, etc. The H-eigenvalues of a hypergraph are its H-eigenvalues of adjacen...
