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 maximal multiplicity of a Laplacian eigenvalue in a graph.

The maximal multiplicity of an eigenvalue in a graph.

The metric dimension of a graph. This is the length of the shortest vector of vertices, such that every vertex is uniquely determined by the vector of distances from these vertices.

The maximal degree of a regular spanning subgraph of a graph. A $k$-regular spanning subgraph of a graph is also known as $k$-factor. This statistic is the largest $k$ such that the graph has a $k$-factor.

The largest degree of a regular subgraph of a graph. For $k > 2$, it is an NP-complete problem to determine whether a graph has a $k$-regular subgraph, see [1].

The rigidity index of a graph. A base of a permutation group is a set $B$ such that the pointwise stabilizer of $B$ is trivial. For example, a base of the symmetric group on $n$ letters must contain all but one letter. This statistic yields the minimal size of a base for the automorphism group of a graph.

The distinguishing number of a graph. This is the minimal number of colours needed to colour the vertices of a graph, such that only the trivial automorphism of the graph preserves the colouring. For connected graphs, this statistic is at most one plus the maximal degree of the graph, with equality attained for complete graphs, complete bipartite graphs and the cycle with five vertices, see Theorem 4.2 of [2].

The hull number of a graph. The convex hull of a set of vertices $S$ of a graph is the smallest set $h(S)$ such that for any pair $u,v\in h(S)$ all vertices on a shortest path from $u$ to $v$ are also in $h(S)$. The hull number is the size of the smallest set $S$ such that $h(S)$ is the set of all vertices.
