Given a graph $G$, let $\mathrm{diam}(G)$ be the greatest distance between any two vertices of $G$ which lie in the same connected component, and let $\mathrm{diam}^+(G)$ be the greatest distance between any two vertices of $G$; so…

A graph $G$ is called an $L_1$-graph if $d(u)+d(v)\ge|N(u)\cup N(v)\cup N(w)|-1$ for every triple of vertices $u,v,w$ where $u$ and $v$ are at distance 2 and $w\in N(u)\cap N(v)$. Asratian et al. (1996) proved that all finite connected…

A graph is said to be symmetric if its automorphism group is transitive on its arcs. Guo et al. (Electronic J. Combin. 18, \#P233, 2011) and Pan et al. (Electronic J. Combin. 20, \#P36, 2013) determined all pentavalent symmetric graphs of…

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…

We study extremal type problem arising from the question: What is the maximum number of edge-disjoint non-crossing perfect matchings on a set S of 2n points in the plane such that their union is a triangle-free geometric graph? We approach…

A connected graph $\Gamma$ of diameter ${\rm diam}(\Gamma) \ge \ell$ is $\ell$-distance-balanced if $|W_{xy}(\Gamma)|=|W_{yx}(\Gamma)|$ for every $x,y\in V(\Gamma)$ with $d_{\Gamma}(x,y)=\ell$, where $W_{xy}(\Gamma)$ is the set of vertices…

For a real number $c > 4$, we prove that every graph $G$ with $\alpha(G) \leq 2$ and $|V(G)| \geq ct$ has a matching $M$ with $|M| = t$ such that the number of non-adjacent pairs of edges in $M$ is at most: \begin{equation*} \left(…

A graph $\Gamma$ is said to be a semi-Cayley graph over a group $G$ if it admits $G$ as a semiregular automorphism group with two orbits of equal size. We say that $\Gamma$ is normal if $G$ is a normal subgroup of ${\rm Aut}(\Gamma)$. We…

We exhibit a new construction of edge-regular graphs with regular cliques that are not strongly regular. The infinite family of graphs resulting from this construction includes an edge-regular graph with parameters $(24,8,2)$. We also show…

A $k$-regular graph is called a divisible design graph (DDG for short) if its vertex set can be partitioned into $m$ classes of size $n$, such that two distinct vertices from the same class have exactly $\lambda_1$ common neighbors, and two…

A graph $G$ with four or more vertices is called bicritical if the removal of any pair of distinct vertices of $G$ results in a graph with a perfect matching. A bicritical graph is minimal if the deletion of each edge results in a…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a distance-regular graph with diameter $D \geq 2$. Let $E$ denote a primitive idempotent of $\Gamma$ with respect to which $\Gamma$ is $Q$-polynomial. Assume that there exists a $3$-clique $\{x,y,z\}$ such that…

The intersection ideal graph $\Gamma(S)$ of a semigroup $S$ is a simple undirected graph whose vertices are all nontrivial left ideals of $S$ and two distinct left ideals $I, J$ are adjacent if and only if their intersection is nontrivial.…

The co-maximal subgroup graph $\Gamma(G)$ of a group $G$ is a graph whose vertices are non-trivial proper subgroups of $G$ and two vertices $H$ and $K$ are adjacent if $HK=G$. In this paper, we continue the study of $\Gamma(G)$, especially…

A vertex-girth-regular $vgr(v,k,g,\lambda)$-graph is a $k$-regular graph of girth $g$ and order $v$ in which every vertex belongs to exactly $\lambda$ cycles of length $g$. While all vertex-transitive graphs are necessarily…

Let $G= (V,E)$ be a finite graph. For $d_0>0$ we say that $G$ is $d_0$-regular, if every $v\in V$ has degree $d_0$. We say that $G$ is $(d_0, d_1)$-regular, for $0<d_1<d_0$, if $G$ is $d_0$ regular and for every $v\in V$, the subgraph…

Highly-regular graphs can be regarded as a combinatorial generalization of distance-regular graphs. From this standpoint, we study combinatorial aspects of highly-regular graphs. As a result, we give the following three main results in this…

We prove that any completely regular code with minimum eigenvalue in any geometric graph G corresponds to a completely regular code in the clique graph of G. Studying the interrelation of these codes, a complete characterization of the…
