The sum of the vertex degrees of a graph. This is clearly equal to twice the number of edges, and, incidentally, also equal to the trace of the Laplacian matrix of a graph. From this it follows that it is also the sum of the squares of the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of the graph. The Laplacian matrix is defined as $D-A$ where $D$ is the degree matrix (the diagonal matrix with the vertex degrees on the diagonal) and where $A$ is the adjacency matrix. See [1] for detailed definitions.

The major index of a Dyck path. This is the sum over all $i+j$ for which $(i,j)$ is a valley of $D$. The generating function of the major index yields '''MacMahon''' 's $q$-Catalan numbers $$\sum_{D \in \mathfrak{D}_n} q^{\operatorname{maj}(D)} = \frac{1}{[n+1]_q}\begin{bmatrix} 2n \\ n \end{bmatrix}_q,$$ where $[k]_q := 1+q+\ldots+q^{k-1}$ is the usual $q$-extension of the integer $k$, $[k]_q!:= [1]_q[2]_q \cdots [k]_q$ is the $q$-factorial of $k$ and $\left[\begin{smallmatrix} k \\ l \end{smallmatrix}\right]_q:=[k]_q!/[l]_q![k-l]_q!$ is the $q$-binomial coefficient. The major index was first studied by P.A.MacMahon in [1], where he proved this generating function identity. There is a bijection $\psi$ between Dyck paths and '''noncrossing permutations''' which simultaneously sends the area of a Dyck path [[St000012]] to the number of inversions [[St000018]], and the major index of the Dyck path to $n(n-1)$ minus the sum of the major index and the major index of the inverse [2]. For the major index on other collections, see [[St000004]] for permutations and [[St000290]] for binary words.

The energy of a graph, if it is integral. The energy of a graph is the sum of the absolute values of its eigenvalues. This statistic is only defined for graphs with integral energy. It is known, that the energy is never an odd integer [2]. In fact, it is never the square root of an odd integer [3]. The energy of a graph is the sum of the energies of the connected components of a graph. The energy of the complete graph $K_n$ equals $2n-2$. For this reason, we do not define the energy of the empty graph.

The Ore degree of a graph. This is the maximal Ore degree of an edge, which is the sum of the degrees of its two endpoints.

Half of MacMahon's equal index of a Dyck path. This is half the sum of the positions of double (up- or down-)steps of a Dyck path, see [1, p. 135].

The number of facets of the stable set polytope of a graph. The stable set polytope of a graph $G$ is the convex hull of the characteristic vectors of stable (or independent) sets of vertices of $G$ inside $\mathbb{R}^{V(G)}$.

The number of indecomposable modules in the corresponding Nakayama algebra that have vanishing first Ext-group with the regular module.

The vector space dimension of the double dual of D(A) in the corresponding Nakayama algebra.

The number of single rises in a Dyck path. A single rise is a step which is neither preceded nor followed by a step of the same kind.

The position of the last up step in a Dyck path.
