The (zero)-forcing number of a graph. This is the minimal number of vertices initially coloured black, such that eventually all vertices of the graph are coloured black when using the following rule: when $u$ is a black vertex of $G$, and exactly one neighbour $v$ of $u$ is white, then colour $v$ black.

The maximal multiplicity of an eigenvalue in a graph.

The multiplicity of the eigenvalue zero of the adjacency matrix of the graph.

The minimal number of edges to add to make a graph Hamiltonian. A graph is Hamiltonian if it contains a cycle as a subgraph, which contains all vertices.

The multiplicity of the largest 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 $1$. The path on four vertices has eigenvalues $0, 4.7\dots, 6, 9.2\dots$ and therefore also statistic $1$. The graphs with statistic $n-1$, $n-2$ and $n-3$ have been characterised, see [1].

The pebbling number of a connected graph.

The number of augmented double ascents of a permutation. An augmented double ascent of a permutation $\pi$ is a double ascent of the augmented permutation $\tilde\pi$ obtained from $\pi$ by adding an initial $0$. A double ascent of $\tilde\pi$ then is a position $i$ such that $\tilde\pi(i) < \tilde\pi(i+1) < \tilde\pi(i+2)$.
