We investigate the structure of conformally rigid graphs. Graphs are conformally rigid if introducing edge weights cannot increase (decrease) the second (last) eigenvalue of the Graph Laplacian. Edge-transitive graphs and distance-regular…

A covering of a digraph $D$ by Hamilton cycles is a collection of directed Hamilton cycles (not necessarily edge-disjoint) that together cover all the edges of $D$. We prove that for $1/2 \geq p\geq \frac{\log^{20} n}{n}$, the random…

A biased graph is a graph $G$, together with a distinguished subset $\mathcal{B}$ of its cycles so that no Theta-subgraph of $G$ contains precisely two cycles in $\mathcal{B}$. A large number of biased graphs can be constructed by choosing…

A digraph is connected-homogeneous if any isomorphism between finite connected induced subdigraphs extends to an automorphism of the digraph. We consider locally-finite connected-homogeneous digraphs with more than one end. In the case that…

The complexity of a graph is the number of its labeled spanning trees. It is demonstrated that the seven known triangle-free strongly regular graphs, such as the Higman-Sims graph, are graphs of maximal complexity among all graphs of the…

A graph is non-trivial if it contains at least one nonloop edge. The essential connectivity of $G$, denoted by $\kappa'(G)$, is the minimum number of vertices of $G$ whose removal produces a disconnected graph with at least two components…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with unity. The essential ideal graph $\mathcal{E}_R$ of $R$ is a graph in which the vertex set comprises of set of all nonzero proper ideals of $R$ and two vertices $I$ and $K$ are adjacent if and only if…

Critical ideals generalize the critical group, Smith group and the characteristic polynomials of the adjacency and Laplacian matrices of a graph. We give a complete characterization of the digraphs with at most one trivial critical ideal.…

The guessing number of a directed graph (digraph), equivalent to the entropy of that digraph, was introduced as a direct criterion on the solvability of a network coding instance. This paper makes two contributions on the guessing number.…

The spectral theory of quantum graphs is related via an exact trace formula with the spectrum of the lengths of periodic orbits (cycles) on the graphs. The latter is a degenerate spectrum, and understanding its structure (i.e.,finding out…

Metacirculants are a rich resource of many families of interesting graphs, and weak metacirculants are generalizations of them. A graph is called a {\em split weak metacirculant} if it has a vertex-transitive split metacyclic automorphism…

A graph is locally chordal if each of its small-radius balls is chordal. In an earlier work [AKK25], the authors and Kobler proved that locally chordal graphs can be characterized by having chordal local covers, by forbidding short cycles…
