In this paper, we show that for given positive integer C, there are only finitely many distance-regular graphs with valency k at least three, diameter D at least six and k2/k<=C. This extends a conjecture of Bannai and Ito.
Amply regular graphs are graphs with local distance-regularity constraints. In this paper, we prove a weaker version of a conjecture proposed by Qiao, Park, and Koolen on diameter bounds of amply regular graphs and make new progress on…
Previously, Biggs has conjectured that the resistance between any two points on a distance-regular graph of valency greater than 2 is bounded by twice the resistance between adjacent points. We prove this conjecture, give the sharp constant…
Let $F$ and $G$ be simple finite undirected graphs. A graph $G$ is called $F$-irregular if any two of its distinct vertices belong to different numbers of copies of $F$ in $G$. According to the strong conjecture about $F$-irregular graphs…
We construct distance-regular graphs, including strongly regular graphs, admitting a transitive action of the Chevalley groups $G_2(4)$ and $G_2(5)$, the orthogonal group $O(7,3)$ and the Tits group $T=$$^2F_4(2)'$. Most of the constructed…
We consider nonregular graphs having precisely three distinct eigenvalues. The focus is mainly on the case of graphs having two distinct valencies and our results include constructions of new examples, structure theorems, valency…
In this note, we consider connected graphs with exactly two main eigenvalues. We will give several constructions for them, and as a consequence we show a family of those graphs with an unbounded number of distinct valencies.
We consider signed graphs, i.e, graphs with positive or negative signs on their edges. We determine the admissible parameters for the $\{5,6,\ldots,10\}$-regular signed graphs which have only two distinct eigenvalues. For each obtained…
It is known that a distance-regular graph with valency $k$ at least three admits at most two Q-polynomial structures. % In this note we show that all distance-regular graphs with diameter four and valency at least three admitting two…
We show that the number of independent sets in an N-vertex, d-regular graph is at most (2^{d+1} - 1)^{N/2d}, where the bound is sharp for a disjoint union of complete d-regular bipartite graphs. This settles a conjecture of Alon in 1991 and…
In this paper, we study distance-regular graphs $\Gamma$ that have a pair of distinct vertices, say x and y, such that the number of common neighbors of x and y is about half the valency of $\Gamma$. We show that if the diameter is at least…
We study regular graphs whose distance-$2$ graph or distance-$1$-or-$2$ graph is strongly regular. We provide a characterization of such graphs $\Gamma$ (among regular graphs with few distinct eigenvalues) in terms of the spectrum and the…
A two-terminal graph is a simple graph equipped with two distinguished vertices, called terminals. Let $T_{n,m}$ be the class consisting of all nonisomorphic two-terminal graphs on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. Let $G$ be any two-terminal…
Whitney's Theorem states that every graph, different from $K_3$ or $K_{1,3}$, is uniquely determined by its line graph. A $1$-line graph of a multi-graph is the graph with as vertices the edges of the multi-graph, and two edges adjacent if…
A graph is called {\em arc-transitive} (or {\em symmetric}) if its automorphism group has a single orbit on ordered pairs of adjacent vertices, and 2-arc-transitive its automorphism group has a single orbit on ordered paths of length 2. In…
A Shilla distance-regular graph G (say with valency k) is a distance-regular graph with diameter 3 such that its second largest eigenvalue equals to a3. We will show that a3 divides k for a Shilla distance-regular graph G, and for G we…
We prove that the invariably generating graph of a finite group can have an arbitrarily large number of connected components with at least two vertices.
A non-complete geometric distance-regular graph is the point graph of a partial geometry in which the set of lines is a set of Delsarte cliques. In this paper, we prove that for fixed integer $m\geq 2$, there are only finitely many…
A $t$-walk-regular graph is a graph for which the number of walks of given length between two vertices depends only on the distance between these two vertices, as long as this distance is at most $t$. Such graphs generalize distance-regular…
An edge-colouring of a graph is distinguishing, if the only automorphism which preserves the colouring is the identity. It has been conjectured that all but finitely many connected, finite, regular graphs admit a distinguishing…
