The number of edges minus the number of vertices plus 2 of a graph. When G is connected and planar, this is also the number of its faces. When $G=(V,E)$ is a connected graph, this is its $k$-monochromatic index for $k>2$: for $2\leq k\leq |V|$, the $k$-monochromatic index of $G$ is the maximum number of edge colors allowed such that for each set $S$ of $k$ vertices, there exists a monochromatic tree in $G$ which contains all vertices from $S$. It is shown in [1] that for $k>2$, this is given by this statistic.

The largest multiplicity of a distance Laplacian eigenvalue in a connected graph. The distance Laplacian of a graph is the (symmetric) matrix with row and column sums $0$, which has the negative distances between two vertices as its off-diagonal entries. This statistic is the largest multiplicity of an eigenvalue. For example, the cycle on four vertices has distance Laplacian $$ \left(\begin{array}{rrrr} 4 & -1 & -2 & -1 \\ -1 & 4 & -1 & -2 \\ -2 & -1 & 4 & -1 \\ -1 & -2 & -1 & 4 \end{array}\right). $$ Its eigenvalues are $0,4,4,6$, so the statistic is $2$. The path on four vertices has eigenvalues $0, 4.7\dots, 6, 9.2\dots$ and therefore statistic $1$.

The acyclic chromatic index of a graph. An acyclic edge coloring of a graph is a proper colouring of the edges of a graph such that the union of the edges colored with any two given colours is a forest. The smallest number of colours such that such a colouring exists is the acyclic chromatic index.

The radius of a connected graph. This is the minimum eccentricity of any vertex.

The number of distinct eigenvalues of the distance Laplacian of a connected graph.
