Number of pairs of incomparable elements in a finite poset. For a finite poset $(P,\leq)$, this is the number of unordered pairs $\{x,y\} \in \binom{P}{2}$ with $x \not\leq y$ and $y \not\leq x$.

The number of edges of a graph.

The number of edges in the center of a graph. The center of a graph is the set of vertices whose maximal distance to any other vertex is minimal. In particular, if the graph is disconnected, all vertices are in the certer.

The number of pairs of vertices of a graph with distance 2. This is the coefficient of the quadratic term of the Wiener polynomial.

The cyclomatic number of a graph. This is the minimum number of edges that must be removed from the graph so that the result is a forest. This is also the first Betti number of the graph. It can be computed as $c + m - n$, where $c$ is the number of connected components, $m$ is the number of edges and $n$ is the number of vertices.

The number of edges that can be added without increasing the maximal degree of a graph. This statistic is (except for the degenerate case of two vertices) maximized by the star-graph on $n$ vertices, which has maximal degree $n-1$ and therefore has statistic $\binom{n-1}{2}$.

The monochromatic index of a connected graph. This is the maximal number of colours such that there is a colouring of the edges where any two vertices can be joined by a monochromatic path. For example, a circle graph other than the triangle can be coloured with at most two colours: one edge blue, all the others red.

The largest eigenvalue of a graph if it is integral. If a graph is $d$-regular, then its largest eigenvalue equals $d$. One can show that the largest eigenvalue always lies between the average degree and the maximal degree. This statistic is undefined if the largest eigenvalue of the graph is not integral.

The number of 2-regular simple modules in the incidence algebra of the lattice.

The number of maximal chains of maximal size in a poset.
