A Graph is called 2-self-centered if its diameter and radius both equal to 2. In this paper, we begin characterizing these graphs by characterizing edge-maximal 2-self-centered graphs via their complements. Then we split characterizing…
In this work, we define an orthogonal graph on the set of equivalence classes of $(2\nu + \delta)-$tuples over $\mathbb{Z}_{2^n}$ where $n$ and $\nu$ are positive integers and $\delta = 0, 1$ or $2$. We classify our graph if it is strongly…
It is not hard to write a first order formula which is true for a given graph G but is false for any graph not isomorphic to G. The smallest number $(G) of nested quantifiers in a such formula can serve as a measure for the ``first order…
A graph $G$ is a link-irregular graph if every two distinct vertices of $G$ have non-isomorphic links. The link of a vertex $v$ in $G$ is the subgraph induced by the neighbors of $v$ in $G$. Ali, Chartrand and Zhang [Discussiones…
We show that a 2-subset-regular self-complementary 3-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices exists if and only if $n\ge 6$ and $n$ is congruent to 2 modulo 4.
We construct multipartite graph states whose dimension is the power of a prime number. This is realized by the finite field, as well as the generalized controlled-NOT quantum circuit acting on two qudits. We propose the standard form of…
Twin-width is a recently introduced graph parameter based on the repeated contraction of near-twins. It has shown remarkable utility in algorithmic and structural graph theory, as well as in finite model theory -- particularly since…
A graph is $n$-e.c. ($n$-existentially closed) if for every pair of subsets $A, B$ of vertex set $V$ of the graph such that $A \cap B = \emptyset$ and $|A| + |B| = n$, there is a vertex $z$ not in $A \cup B$ joined to each vertex of $A$ and…
In this paper the problem of the existence of regular nut graphs is addressed. A generalization of Fowler's Construction which is a local enlargement applied to a vertex in a graph is introduced to generate nut graphs of higher order. Let…
Let $G$ be a finite group, let $\pi(G)$ be the set of prime divisors of $|G|$ and let $\Gamma(G)$ be the prime graph of $G$. This graph has vertex set $\pi(G)$, and two vertices $r$ and $s$ are adjacent if and only if $G$ contains an…
A straight-line drawing of a graph is a monotone drawing if for each pair of vertices there is a path which is monotonically increasing in some direction, and it is called a strongly monotone drawing if the direction of monotonicity is…
Whenever graphs admit equitable partitions, their quotient graphs highlight the structure evidenced by the partition. It is therefore very natural to ask what can be said about two graphs that have the same quotient according to certain…
In this paper we describe a physical problem, based on electromagnetic fields, whose topological constraints are higher dimensional versions of Kirchhoff's laws, involving $2-$ simplicial complexes embedded in $\mathbb{R} ^3$ rather than…
We study the class of all finite directed graphs up to primitive positive constructability. The resulting order has a unique greatest element, namely the graph $P_1$ with one vertex and no edges. The graph $P_1$ has a unique greatest lower…
We give a sharp bound on the number of triangles in a graph with fixed number of edges. We also characterize graphs that achieve the maximum number of triangles. Using the upper bound on number of triangles, we prove that if $G$ is a…
Given a finite simple graph $G$, an odd cover of $G$ is a collection of complete bipartite graphs, or bicliques, in which each edge of $G$ appears in an odd number of bicliques and each non-edge of $G$ appears in an even number of…
The concept of graph compositions is related to several number theoretic concepts, including partitions of positive integers and the cardinality of the power set of finite sets. This paper examines graph compositions where the total number…
We provide lower bounds on the gonality of a graph in terms of its spectral and edge expansion. As a consequence, we see that the gonality of a random 3-regular graph is asymptotically almost surely greater than one seventh its genus.
We consider the line graph of a pure simplicial complex. We prove that, as in the case of line graphs of simple graphs, one can compute the second graded Betti number of the facet ideal of a pure simplicial complex in terms of the…
Highly regular graphs for which not all regularities are explainable by symmetries are fascinating creatures. Some of them like, e.g., the line graph of W.~Kantor's non-classical $\mathrm{GQ}(5^2,5)$, are stumbling stones for existing…
