We give a formula for the v-number of a graded ideal that can be used to compute this number. Then, we show that for the edge ideal I(G) of a graph G, the induced matching number of G is an upper bound for the v-number of I(G) when G is very well-covered, or G has a simplicial partition, or G is well-covered connected and contains neither four, nor five cycles. In all these cases, the v-number of I(G) is a lower bound for the regularity of the edge ring of G. We classify when the induced…

We generalize some results of v-number for arbitrary monomial ideals by showing that the v-number of an arbitrary monomial ideal is the same as the v-number of its polarization. We prove that the

The regularity of the edge ideal of a finite simple graph G is at least the induced matching number of G and is at most the minimum matching number of G. If G possesses a dominating induced matching,
