We introduce the concept of the Tri-Edge Index, $\Omega(G)$, and determine $\Omega(G)$ of some classes of graphs $G$. Moreover, we establish a bound for $\Omega(G)$. We listed all non-isomorphic Tri-Edge $\mathbb{Z}_{\Omega_q}-$Graphs, $G=(p,q)$ for $1\le q\le 7$.

Thukarama thukarama.v1@gmail.com N. D. Soner <p>A set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is called a dominating set if every vertex in $V-S$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $S$. A maximal degree dominating function $(MDDF)$ is a type of function $f:V(G)\arrowvert\left\lbrace 0,1,2,3, ...,(\bigtriangleup(G)+1)\right\rbrace $ having the property that every $v$ in $S$ is assigned the value $deg(v)+1$, and all remaining vertices with zero. The weight of a maximal degree dominating function $f$ is defined by $w(f)=\ds \sum_{v\in S}deg(v)+1$. The maximal degree domination number $\gamma_{mdeg}(G)$ is the minimum weight among all possible $MDDFs$. In this paper, we determine its exact value.</p> 2025-09-14T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Mathematics And its Applications https://ijmaa.in/index.php/ijmaa/article/view/1566 An Approach to Find the Solution of Assignment Problem 2025-05-30T12:21:04+00:00 Murli Mohan Jha murlimohanjha444@gmail.com Neha Varma <p>In this paper we introduce an approach to give a solution for travelling salesman problem(Assignment problem). We consider a salesman problem if he wants to visit a certain number of cities allotted to work. He knows the distance (or cost or time) of journey between every pair of cities, usually denoted by $c_{ij}$, i.e., from city $i$ to city $j$. His problem is to select such a route that starts from his home city, passes through each city once and only once, and returns to his home city in the shortest possible distance and its goal would be to minimize the total distance traveled so that the cost or time will be optimal.</p> 2025-09-14T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Mathematics And its Applications https://ijmaa.in/index.php/ijmaa/article/view/1595 Matrix Representations of Group Algebras of 16 Order Abelian Groups 2025-08-03T17:25:35+00:00 Nabila M.

The algorithm is designed to find a solution that lies in the intersection of a closed convex set and the fixed point set of a nonexpansive mapping, a common formulation in various applied mathematical and engineering contexts. By integrating projection operators with averaged nonexpansive mappings and gradient-based updates, the proposed scheme ensures strong convergence to an optimal solution under standard and practically verifiable assumptions on the step size parameters. Unlike traditional projection methods or purely fixed point iterations, our hybrid approach leverages the geometric structure of Hilbert spaces to guarantee convergence even in the absence of strong monotonicity or Lipschitz continuity. The theoretical development is supported by rigorous convergence analysis, which confirms that the generated sequence converges strongly to a point that minimizes a given convex objective function over the fixed point set of a nonexpansive mapping. A detailed numerical example in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is provided to illustrate the algorithm’s practical behavior and convergence characteristics, demonstrating its stability and efficiency. The results not only validate the theoretical claims but also highlight the flexibility of the algorithm for potential applications in areas such as signal processing, machine learning, and variational inequalities. Furthermore, our framework unifies and generalizes several well-known iterative schemes in the literature, thereby contributing a fresh perspective and an effective computational tool for solving constrained convex optimization problems through fixed point techniques.</p> 2025-09-14T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Mathematics And its Applications https://ijmaa.in/index.php/ijmaa/article/view/1577 Automorphism Group and Distinguishing Number of Some Shadow Graphs and Some Split Graphs 2025-06-30T12:38:19+00:00 Arti Salat artisalat7@gmail.com Amit Sharma <p>The proposed study asserts the automorphism group and distinguishing number of some shadow graphs along with some split graphs. Automorphism group of path graph $P_{n}$, cycle graph $C_{n}$ and star graph $K_{1,n}$ are well-known groups and also their distinguishing number are well-known. It is full of zest to know what would be the automorphism group of shadow graphs and split graphs of that graphs whose automorphism group are known. Also, it would be interesting to determine the distinguishing number of shadow graphs and split graphs of that graphs whose distinguishing numbers are known. In this paper, shadow graph as well as split graph of path graph $P_{n}$, cycle graph $C_{n}$ and star graph $K_{1,n}$ have been taken into the account to investigate their the automorphism groups and distinguishing numbers. The results are illustrated with the help of examples and the applicability of the proposed theory, related to some shadow graphs and some split graphs, is elaborated successfully.</p> 2025-09-14T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Mathematics And its Applications https://ijmaa.in/index.php/ijmaa/article/view/1611 Algebraic Description of Monadic Second Order Logic 2025-09-14T18:55:38+00:00 Kahtan H.

S. Neeraja Rani Jose ranijose@sdck.in <p>The Luhn algorithm, a widely used checksum formula, ensures the validity of identification numbers such as credit cards and IMEI numbers by detecting accidental errors. Operating through a simple yet effective process of digit manipulation and summation, it enhances data integrity in financial and technological systems. Though it does not prevent fraud, its efficiency in identifying common mistakes makes it a crucial tool in electronic payment processing. Additionally, the algorithm's mathematical foundation relates to level sets in differential geometry, offering a deeper perspective on credit card number validation. Its continued relevance and public accessibility underscore its enduring impact across industries that require accurate and reliable numeric verification.</p> 2025-09-14T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Mathematics And its Applications https://ijmaa.in/index.php/ijmaa/article/view/1609 Some Remarks on Weakly Tripotent Rings 2025-09-14T16:56:35+00:00 S. K. Pandey skpandey12@gmail.com <p>In the mathematical literature there are three approaches to study a weakly tripotent ring. We provide a comparative study of these approaches and exhibit that a weakly tripotent ring defined as per one of these approaches is in harmony with a tripotent ring in various aspects as it is a commutative ring, a reduced ring and satisfies the identity $a^{5}=a$ for each $a \in R$ like tripotent rings however a weakly tripotent ring defined as per rest of two approaches fail to be in harmony with a tripotent ring with respect to these aspects.</p> 2025-09-14T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Mathematics And its Applications https://ijmaa.in/index.php/ijmaa/article/view/1591 On Degree of Approximation of Equi - Convergent Series Associated With Fourier Series 2025-07-18T14:33:43+00:00 Sanghamitra Beuria sbeuria@ouat.ac.in <p>This article studies the rate of convergence of equi - convergence series for functions belonging to $Lip(\omega, p )$, $p &gt; 1$ class.

This study presents a data-driven approach to optimizing a goalkeeper’s decision-making process during penalty shootouts by analyzing 161 penalties from the UEFA Champions League spanning the last 20 years. Using statistical tools such as entropy, logistic regression, Chi-Square tests, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient, the paper investigates patterns in ball placement, shooter’s dominant foot, and dive strategies. The results highlight significant correlations between shooting foot and ball placement, revealing exploitable tendencies that enhance prediction accuracy. Further, an optimized strategy based on probabilistic modeling shows that goalkeepers can more than double their expected number of saves compared to random guessing. These findings underscore the practical value of mathematical modeling in sports, providing goalkeepers with actionable insights to improve performance in high-pressure scenarios, while also contributing to the broader dialogue on the application of statistics in real-world decision-making.</p> 2025-09-14T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Mathematics And its Applications https://ijmaa.in/index.php/ijmaa/article/view/1608 A Note on Non-cut Points, VH-sets, Almost VH-sets and COTS 2025-09-14T16:05:39+00:00 Devender Kumar Kamboj kamboj.dev81@rediffmail.com <p>Two concepts of VH-sets and almost VH-sets are introduced to study connected ordered topological spaces (COTS). We show that every $R(i)$ subset of a connected space is an almost VH-set. Two characterizations of COTS with endpoints using the concept of almost VH-set have been obtained. It is also proved that if $X$ is a connected non-cut point inclined space and the removal of any two-point disconnected set of it leaves the space disconnected, then each one of $H \cup \{a, b\}$ and $K \cup \{a, b\}$ has exactly two non-cut points, and is homeomorphic to a finite connected subspace of the Khalimsky line where $H$ and $K$ are separating sets of $X \setminus \{a, b\}$, $a, b \in X$.</p> 2025-09-14T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Mathematics And its Applications https://ijmaa.in/index.php/ijmaa/article/view/1614 Multifactor Balanced Asymmetrical Factorial Designs of Type II 2025-09-18T17:16:52+00:00 N.

Two methods of construction are given. The first method is the product of balanced arrays which is similar to the product of orthogonal arrays defined by [4]. The second methods was given by [28] which generates a BAFD from two given BAFD's. These methods can provide efficient BAFD's if efficient two factor BAFD's are used.
