The aim of this work is to investigate the nonnegative signed domination number $\gamma^{NN}_s$ with emphasis on regular, ($r+1$)-clique-free graphs and trees. We give lower and upper bounds on $\gamma^{NN}_s$ for regular graphs and prove…
We investigate the diameter and girth of the nilpotent graph for skew PBW extensions over $2$-primal rings, generalizing similar results on skew polynomial rings. Under certain compatibility conditions, we establish bounds for the diameter…
We give certain properties which are satisfied by the descendant set of a vertex in an infinite, primitive, distance transitive digraph of finite out-valency and provide a strong structure theory for digraphs satisfying these properties. In…
Many famous graphs are edge-primitive, for example, the Heawood graph, the Tutte--Coxeter graph and the Higman--Sims graph. In this paper we systematically analyse edge-primitive and edge-quasiprimitive graphs via the O'Nan--Scott Theorem…
A signed graph is an ordered pair $\Sigma=(G,\sigma),$ where $G=(V,E)$ is the underlying graph of $\Sigma$ with a signature function $\sigma:E\rightarrow \{1,-1\}$. In this article, we define $n^{th}$ power of a signed graph and discuss…
The results of the previous version are impoved. This basically completes the study of consistency strength of various gaps between a strong limit singular cardinal of cofinality omega and its power under GCH type assumptions below.
A digraph $G$ is \emph{$k$-geodetic} if for any pair $u,v \in V(G)$ there is at most one $u,v$-walk of length not exceeding $k$. The order of a $k$-geodetic digraph with minimum out-degree $d$ is bounded below by the directed Moore bound…
We investigate Dirichlet-type series generated by representation functions that count the number of ways an integer can be expressed as a sum of 'k' signed higher even powers. By combining generalized theta generating functions with a…
Chess graphs encode the moves that a particular chess piece can make on an $m\times n$ chessboard. We study through these graphs through the lens of chip-firing games and graph gonality. We provide upper and lower bounds for the gonality of…
In the algebraic theory of codes and formal languages, the set $Q$ of all primitive words over some alphabet $\zi $ has received special interest. With this survey article we give an overview about relevant research to this topic during the…
We give various estimates of the minimal number of self-intersections of a nontrivial element of the kth term of the lower central series and derived series of the fundamental group of a surface. As an application, we obtain a new…
Given feasible strongly regular graph parameters $(v,k,\lambda,\mu)$ and a non-negative integer $d$, we determine upper and lower bounds on the order of a $d$-regular induced subgraph of any strongly regular graph with parameters…
We prove that each eigenvalue l(k) of the Kirchhoff Laplacian K of a graph or quiver is bounded above by d(k)+d(k-1) for all k in {1,...,n}. Here l(1),...,l(n) is a non-decreasing list of the eigenvalues of K and d(1),..,d(n) is a…
We classify certain non-symmetric commutative association schemes. As an application, we determine all the primitive weakly distance-regular circulant digraphs.
A set of non-negative integers is an additive basis with range $n$, if its sumset covers all consecutive integers from 0 to $n$, but not $n+1$. If the range is exactly twice the largest element of the basis, the basis is restricted.…
In this note we give a new upper bound for the Laplacian eigenvalues of an unweighted graph. Let $G$ be a simple graph on $n$ vertices. Let $d_{m}(G)$ and $\lambda_{m+1}(G)$ be the $m$-th smallest degree of $G$ and the $m+1$-th smallest…
We show that there is a low T-upper bound for the class of K-trivial sets, namely those which are weak from the point of view of algorithmic randomness. This result is a special case of a more general characterization of ideals in the…
In this survey we overview known results on the strong subgraph $k$-connectivity and strong subgraph $k$-arc-connectivity of digraphs. After an introductory section, the paper is divided into four sections: basic results, algorithms and…
A set of non-negative integers A is an additive 2-basis with range n, if its sumset A+A contains 0, 1, ..., n but not n+1. Explicit bases are known with arbitrarily large size |A|=k and $n/k^2 \ge 2/7 > 0.2857$. We present a more general…
