1. The Sierpiński product of graphsJurij Kovič, Tomaž Pisanski, Sara Sabrina Zemljič, Arjana Žitnik, 2023, original scientific article Abstract: In this paper we introduce a product-like operation that generalizes the construction of the generalized Sierpiński graphs. Let ▫$G, \, H$▫ be graphs and let ▫$f: V(G) \to V(H)$▫ be a function. Then the Sierpiński product of graphs ▫$G$▫ and ▫$H$▫ with respect to ▫$f$▫, denoted by ▫$G\otimes_f H$▫, is defined as the graph on the vertex set ▫$V(G) \times V(H)$▫, consisting of ▫$|V(G)|$▫ copies of ▫$H$▫; for every edge ▫$\{g, g'\}$▫ of ▫$G▫$ there is an edge between copies ▫$gH$▫ and ▫$g'H$▫ of form ▫$\{(g, f(g'), (g', f(g))\}$▫. Some basic properties of the Sierpiński product are presented. In particular, we show that the graph ▫$G\otimes_f H$▫ is connected if and only if both graphs ▫$G$▫ and ▫$H$▫ are connected and we present some conditions that ▫$G, \, H$▫ must fulfill for ▫$G\otimes_f H$▫ to be planar. As for symmetry properties, we show which automorphisms of ▫$G$▫ and ▫$H$▫ extend to automorphisms of ▫$G\otimes_f H$▫. In several cases we can also describe the whole automorphism group of the graph ▫$G\otimes_f H$▫. Finally, we show how to extend the Sierpiński product to multiple factors in a natural way. By applying this operation ▫$n$▫ times to the same graph we obtain an alternative approach to the well-known ▫$n$▫-th generalized Sierpiński graph.

6. On cyclic edge-connectivity of fullerenesKlavdija Kutnar, Dragan Marušič, 2008, original scientific article Abstract: A graph is said to be cyclically ▫$k$▫-edge-connected, if at least ▫$k$▫ edges must be removed to disconnect it into two components, each containing a cycle. Such a set of ▫$k$▫ edges is called a cyclic-k-edge cutset and it is called a trivial cyclic-k-edge cutset if at least one of the resulting two components induces a single ▫$k$▫-cycle. It is known that fullerenes, that is, 3-connected cubic planar graphs all of whose faces are pentagons and hexagons, are cyclically 5-edge-connected. In this article it is shown that a fullerene ▫$F$▫ containing a nontrivial cyclic-5-edge cutset admits two antipodal pentacaps, that is, two antipodal pentagonal faces whose neighboring faces are also pentagonal. Moreover, it is shown that ▫$F$▫ has a Hamilton cycle, and as a consequence at least ▫$15 \cdot 2^{n/20-1/2}$▫ perfect matchings, where ▫$n$▫ is the order of ▫$F$▫.
