A set $D$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is isolating if the set of vertices not in $D$ or with no neighbor in $D$ is independent. The isolation number of $G$, denoted by $\iota (G)$, is the minimum cardinality of an isolating set of $G$. It is…
A nut graph is a singular graph with one-dimensional kernel and corresponding eigenverctor with no zero elements. The problem of determining the orders $n$ for which $d$-regular nut graphs exist was recently posed by Gauci, Pisanski and…
A circulant nut graph is a non-trivial simple graph whose adjacency matrix is a circulant matrix of nullity one such that its non-zero null space vectors have no zero elements. The study of circulant nut graphs was originally initiated by…
Let $k, d$ ($2d \leq k)$ be two positive integers. We generalize the well studied notions of $(k,d)$-colorings and of the circular chromatic number $\chi_c$ to signed graphs. This implies a new notion of colorings of signed graphs, and the…
A number field K is a finite extension of rational number field Q. A circulant digraph integral over K means that all its eigenvalues are algebraic integers of K. In this paper we give the sufficient and necessary condition for circulant…
A nut graph is a simple graph whose adjacency matrix has the eigenvalue~0 with multiplicity~1 such that its corresponding eigenvector has no zero entries. Motivated by a question of Fowler et al.~[\emph{Disc. Math. Graph Theory} 40 (2020),…
A circulant nut graph is a non-trivial simple graph such that its adjacency matrix is a circulant matrix whose null space is spanned by a single vector without zero elements. Regarding these graphs, the order-degree existence problem can be…
For $t \ge 2$, let us call a digraph $D$ \emph{t-chordal} if all induced directed cycles in $D$ have length equal to $t$. In a previous paper, we asked for which $t$ it is true that $t$-chordal graphs with bounded clique number have bounded…
An isolating set of a graph is a set of vertices $S$ such that, if $S$ and its neighborhood is removed, only isolated vertices remain; and the isolation number is the minimum size of such a set. It is known that for every connected graph…
A subgraph $H$ of $G$ is \textit{singular} if the vertices of $H$ either have the same degree in $G$ or have pairwise distinct degrees in $G$. The largest number of edges of a graph on $n$ vertices that does not contain a singular copy of…
Necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence of positive integers to be the degree sequence of a 3-connected simple graph are detailed. Conditions are also given under which such a sequence is necessarily 3-connected i.e. the sequence…
A graph is strongly perfect if every induced subgraph H has a stable set that meets every nonempty maximal clique of H. The characterization of strongly perfect graphs by a set of forbidden induced subgraphs is not known. Here we provide…
An $(r-1,1)$-coloring of an $r$-regular graph $G$ is an edge coloring such that each vertex is incident to $r-1$ edges of one color and $1$ edge of a different color. In this paper, we completely characterize all $4$-regular pseudographs…
Given an integer $\ell\ge 1$, a $(1,\le \ell)$-identifying code in a digraph is a dominating subset $C$ of vertices such that all distinct subsets of vertices of cardinality at most $\ell$ have distinct closed in-neighbourhood within $C$.…
We show that almost all circulant graphs have automorphism groups as small as possible. Of the circulant graphs that do not have automorphism group as small as possible, we give some families of integers such that it is not true that almost…
For a digraph D and three parameters x, y, z in {0,1,+,-} we define the digraph D^(x,y,z) and call it the (x,y,z)-transformation of D. We show that for every r-regular digraph D the adjacency characteristic polynomial A(t, D^(x,y,z)) of…
For $d \ge 1$, $s \ge 0$ a $(d, d+s)$-{\em graph} is a graph whose degrees all lie in the interval $\{d, d+1, \ldots, d + s\}$. For $r \ge 1$, $a \ge 0$, an $(r, r+a)$-{\em factor} of a graph $G$ is a spanning $(r, r+a)$-subgraph of $G$. An…
A graph $G$ is a non-separating planar graph if there is a drawing $D$ of $G$ on the plane such that (1) no two edges cross each other in $D$ and (2) for any cycle $C$ in $D$, any two vertices not in $C$ are on the same side of $C$ in $D$.…
A simplified version of the theory of strongly regular graphs is developed for the case in which the graphs have no triangles. This leads to (i) direct proofs of the Krein conditions, and (ii) the characterization of strongly regular graphs…
Given a graph $F$, a graph $G$ is {\it uniquely $F$-saturated} if $F$ is not a subgraph of $G$ and adding any edge of the complement to $G$ completes exactly one copy of $F$. In this paper we study uniquely $C_t$-saturated graphs. We prove…
