Introduction

Graph Theory is a foundational area of discrete mathematics concerned with vertices, edges, connectivity, paths, cycles, and structural relationships. Its concepts have become important across computer science, mathematics, engineering, social science, biological systems, and network analysis. Modern network science extends graph-theoretical ideas to the study of large and complex systems, including their structural organization and dynamics. [1] Network structures may also exhibit properties such as clustering, heterogeneous connectivity, and small-world behavior, which have been widely examined in interdisciplinary research. [2]
