The hat guessing number of a graph.
Suppose that each vertex of a graph corresponds to a player, wearing a hat whose color is arbitrarily chosen from a set of $q$ possible colors. Each player can see the hat colors of his neighbors, but not his own hat color. All of the players are asked to guess their own hat colors simultaneously, according to a predetermined guessing strategy and the hat colors they see, where no communication between them is allowed. The hat guessing number $HG(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the largest integer $q$ such that there exists a guessing strategy guaranteeing at least one correct guess for any hat assignment of $q$ possible colors.
Because it suffices that a single player guesses correctly, the hat guessing number of a graph is the maximum of the hat guessing numbers of its connected components.

The composition corresponding to a binary word.
Prepending $1$ to a binary word $w$, the $i$-th part of the composition equals $1$ plus the number of zeros after the $i$-th $1$ in $w$.
This map is not surjective, since the empty composition does not have a preimage.

The de-duplicate of a graph.
Let $G = (V, E)$ be a graph. This map yields the graph whose vertex set is the set of (distinct) neighbourhoods $\{N_v | v \in V\}$ of $G$, and has an edge $(N_a, N_b)$ between two vertices if and only if $(a, b)$ is an edge of $G$. This is well-defined, because if $N_a = N_c$ and $N_b = N_d$, then $(a, b)\in E$ if and only if $(c, d)\in E$.
The image of this map is the set of so-called 'mating graphs' or 'point-determining graphs'.
This map preserves the chromatic number.

The threshold graph corresponding to the composition.
A threshold graph is a graph that can be obtained from the empty graph by adding successively isolated and dominating vertices.
A threshold graph is uniquely determined by its degree sequence.
The Laplacian spectrum of a threshold graph is integral. Interpreting it as an integer partition, it is the conjugate of the partition given by its degree sequence.
