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 prove the existence of optimal separators for intersection graphs of balls and spheres in any dimension $d$. One of our results is that if an intersection graph of $n$ spheres in $\mathbb{R}^d$ has $m$ edges, then it contains a balanced…

When each vertex is assigned a set, the intersection graph generated by the sets is the graph in which two distinct vertices are joined by an edge if and only if their assigned sets have a nonempty intersection. An interval graph is an…

We study the parameterized complexity of dominating sets in geometric intersection graphs. In one dimension, we investigate intersection graphs induced by translates of a fixed pattern Q that consists of a finite number of intervals and a…

Twin-width is a recently introduced graph parameter for finite graphs. It is an open problem to determine whether there is an $n$-vertex graph having twin-width at least $n/2$ (due to J. Ahn, K. Hendrey, D. Kim and S. Oum). In an earlier…

As observed by Rautenbach and Sereni (arXiv:1302.5503) there is a gap in the proof of the theorem of Balister et al. (Longest paths in circular arc graphs, Combin. Probab. Comput., 13, No. 3, 311-317 (2004)), which states that the…

In 1966, Gallai asked whether all longest paths in a connected graph have a nonempty intersection. The answer to this question is not true in general and various counterexamples have been found. However, there is a positive solution to…

A $t$-nearly platonic graph is a finite, connected, regular, simple and planar graph in which all but exactly $t$ numbers of its faces have the same length. It is proved that there is no 2-connected $1$-nearly platonic graph. In this paper,…

The characterization of distance-regular Cayley graphs originated from the problem of identifying strongly regular Cayley graphs, or equivalently, regular partial difference sets. In this paper, a classification of distance-regular Cayley…

The diameter of a graph is the maximum distance among all pairs of vertices. Thus a graph $G$ has diameter $d$ if any two vertices are at distance at most $d$ and there are two vertices at distance $d$. We are interested in studying the…

We consider several classes of intersection graphs of line segments in the plane and prove new equality and separation results between those classes. In particular, we show that: (1) intersection graphs of grounded segments and intersection…

We characterize the graphs with loops whose degree sequences have no repeated values and find their adjacency spectrum. In the case of simple graphs, such graphs are called anti-regular graphs and are examples of threshold graphs. The…

We consider the following feasibility problem: given an integer $n \geq 1$ and an integer $m$ such that $0 \leq m \leq \binom{n}{2}$, does there exist a line graph $L = L(G)$ with exactly $n$ vertices and $m$ edges ? We say that a pair…
