An edge-colored connected graph $G$ is properly connected if between every pair of distinct vertices, there exists a path that no two adjacent edges have a same color. Fujita (2019) introduced the optimal proper connection number ${mathrm{pc}_{mathrm{opt}}}(G)$ for a monochromatic connected graph $G$, to make a connected graph properly connected efficiently. More precisely, ${mathrm{pc}_{mathrm{opt}}}(G)$ is the smallest integer $p+q$ when one converts a given monochromatic graph $G$ into a properly connected graph by recoloring $p$ edges with $q$ colors. In this paper, we show that ${mathrm{pc}_{mathrm{opt}}}(G)$ has an upper bound in terms of the independence number $alpha(G)$. Namely, we prove that for a connected graph $G$, ${mathrm{pc}_{mathrm{opt}}}(G)le frac{5alpha(G)-1}{2}$. Moreoevr, for the case $alpha(G)leq 3$, we improve the upper bound to $4$, which is tight.
Given a digraph $D$ with $m$ arcs and a bijection $tau: A(D)rightarrow {1, 2, ldots, m}$, we say $(D, tau)$ is an antimagic orientation of a graph $G$ if $D$ is an orientation of $G$ and no two vertices in $D$ have the same vertex-sum under $tau$, wh
Let $G$ be a finite group, the enhanced power graph of $G$, denoted by $Gamma_G^e$, is the graph with vertex set $G$ and two vertices $x,y$ are edge connected in $Gamma_{G}^e$ if there exist $zin G$ such that $x,yinlangle zrangle$. Let $zeta$ be a ed
A signed graph $(G, sigma)$ is a graph with a sign attached to each of its edges, where $G$ is the underlying graph of $(G, sigma)$. Let $c(G)$, $alpha(G)$ and $r(G, sigma)$ be the cyclomatic number, the independence number and the rank of the adjace
An edge-coloured graph $G$ is called $properly$ $connected$ if every two vertices are connected by a proper path. The $proper$ $connection$ $number$ of a connected graph $G$, denoted by $pc(G)$, is the smallest number of colours that are needed in or
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph and $n$ a positive integer. Let $I_n(G)$ be the abstract simplicial complex whose simplices are the subsets of $V$ that do not contain an independent set of size $n$ in $G$. We study the collapsibility numbers of the complexe
