The order of the largest clique of the graph. A clique in a graph $G$ is a subset $U \subseteq V(G)$ such that any pair of vertices in $U$ are adjacent. I.e. the subgraph induced by $U$ is a complete graph.

The chromatic number of a graph. The minimal number of colors needed to color the vertices of the graph such that no two vertices which share an edge have the same color.

The size of the core of a graph. The core of the graph $G$ is the smallest graph $C$ such that there is a graph homomorphism from $G$ to $C$ and a graph homomorphism from $C$ to $G$.

The 2-dynamic chromatic number of a graph. A $k$-dynamic coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper coloring of $G$ in such a way that each vertex $v$ sees at least $\min\{d(v), k\}$ colors in its neighborhood. The $k$-dynamic chromatic number of a graph is the smallest number of colors needed to find an $k$-dynamic coloring. This statistic records the $2$-dynamic chromatic number of a graph.

The Alon-Tarsi number of a graph. Let $G$ be a graph with vertices $\{1,\dots,n\}$ and edge set $E$. Let $P_G=\prod_{i < j, (i,j)\in E} x_i-x_j$ be its graph polynomial. Then the Alon-Tarsi number is the smallest number $k$ such that $P_G$ contains a monomial with exponents strictly less than $k$.

The number of induced subgraphs. A subgraph $H \subseteq G$ is induced if $E(H)$ consists of all edges in $E(G)$ that connect the vertices of $H$.

The cardinality of a maximal independent set of vertices of a graph. An independent set of a graph is a set of pairwise non-adjacent vertices. A maximum independent set is an independent set of maximum cardinality. This statistic is also called the independence number or stability number $\alpha(G)$ of $G$.

The Grundy number of a graph. The Grundy number $\Gamma(G)$ is defined to be the largest $k$ such that $G$ admits a greedy $k$-coloring. Any order of the vertices of $G$ induces a greedy coloring by assigning to the $i$-th vertex in this order the smallest positive integer such that the partial coloring remains a proper coloring. In particular, we have that $\chi(G) \leq \Gamma(G) \leq \Delta(G) + 1$, where $\chi(G)$ is the chromatic number of $G$ ([[St000098]]), and where $\Delta(G)$ is the maximal degree of a vertex of $G$ ([[St000171]]).

The number of connected components of the complement of a graph. The complement of a graph is the graph on the same vertex set with complementary edges.

The number of minimal vertex covers of a graph. A '''vertex cover''' of a graph $G$ is a subset $S$ of the vertices of $G$ such that each edge of $G$ contains at least one vertex of $S$. A vertex cover is minimal if it contains the least possible number of vertices. This is also the leading coefficient of the clique polynomial of the complement of $G$. This is also the number of independent sets of maximal cardinality of $G$.
