In this paper we compare the brushing number of a graph with the zero-forcing number of its line graph. We prove that the zero-forcing number of the line graph is an upper bound for the brushing number by constructing a brush configuration based on a zero-forcing set for the line graph. Using a similar construction, we also prove the conjecture that the zero-forcing number of a graph is no more than the zero-forcing number of its line graph; moreover we prove that the brushing number of a graph is no more than the brushing number of its line graph. All three bounds are shown to be tight.

The minimum forcing number of a graph $G$ is the smallest number of edges simultaneously contained in a unique perfect matching of $G$. Zhang, Ye and Shiu cite{HDW} showed that the minimum forcing number of any fullerene graph was bounded below by $3
$. However, we find that there exists exactly one excepted fullerene $F_{24}$ with the minimum forcing number $2$. In this paper, we characterize all fullerenes with the minimum forcing number $3$ by a construction approach. This also solves an open problem proposed by Zhang et al. We also find that except for $F_{24}$, all fullerenes with anti-forcing number $4$ have the minimum forcing number $3$. In particular, the nanotube fullerenes of type $(4, 2)$ are such fullerenes.
Let Q(n,c) denote the minimum clique size an n-vertex graph can have if its chromatic number is c. Using Ramsey graphs we give an exact, albeit implicit, formula for the case c is at least (n+3)/2.
In this short note, we show that for any $epsilon >0$ and $k<n^{0.5-epsilon}$ the choice number of the Kneser graph $KG_{n,k}$ is $Theta (nlog n)$.
In this paper, we study the domination number of middle graphs. Indeed, we obtain tight bounds for this number in terms of the order of the graph. We also compute the domination number of some families of graphs such as star graphs, double start grap
hs, path graphs, cycle graphs, wheel graphs, complete graphs, complete bipartite graphs and friendship graphs, explicitly. Moreover, some Nordhaus-Gaddum-like relations are presented for the domination number of middle graphs.
The global forcing number of a graph G is the minimal cardinality of an edge subset discriminating all perfect matchings of G, denoted by gf(G). For any perfect matching M of G, the minimal cardinality of an edge subset S in E(G)-M such that G-S has
a unique perfect matching is called the anti-forcing number of M,denoted by af(G, M). The maximum anti-forcing number of G among all perfect matchings is denoted by Af(G). It is known that the maximum anti-forcing number of a hexagonal system equals the famous Fries number. We are interested in some comparisons between the global forcing number and the maximum anti-forcing number of a graph. For a bipartite graph G, we show that gf(G)is larger than or equal to Af(G). Next we mainly extend such result to non-bipartite graphs, which is the set of all graphs with a perfect matching which contain no two disjoint odd cycles such that their deletion results in a subgraph with a perfect matching. For any such graph G, we also have gf(G) is larger than or equal to Af(G) by revealing further property of non-bipartite graphs with a unique perfect matching. As a consequence, this relation also holds for the graphs whose perfect matching polytopes consist of non-negative 1-regular vectors. In particular, for a brick G, de Carvalho, Lucchesi and Murty [4] showed that G satisfying the above condition if and only if G is solid, and if and only if its perfect matching polytope consists of non-negative 1-regular vectors. Finally, we obtain tight upper and lower bounds on gf(G)-Af(G). For a connected bipartite graph G with 2n vertices, we have that 0 leq gf(G)-Af(G) leq 1/2 (n-1)(n-2); For non-bipartite case, -1/2 (n^2-n-2) leq gf(G)-Af(G) leq (n-1)(n-2).
