The Hadwiger number of a graph $G$, denoted by $h(G)$, is the order of the largest complete minor of $G$. A graph is said to be self-complementary if it is isomorphic to its complement. We prove that for all $n\equiv 0,1 (\text{mod 4})$ and…
Koolen et al. showed that if a graph with smallest eigenvalue at least $-3$ has large minimal valency, then it is $2$-integrable. In this paper, we will focus on the sesqui-regular graphs with smallest eigenvalue at least $-3$ and study…
A catalog of a class of (3,g) graphs for even girth g is introduced in this paper. A (k,g) graph is a regular graph with degree k and girth g. This catalog of (3,g) graphs for even girth g satisfying 6 <= g <= 16, has the following…
Differential calculus on discrete spaces is studied in the manner of non-commutative geometry by representing the differential calculus by an operator algebra on a suitable Krein space. The discrete analogue of a (pseudo-)Riemannian metric…
Eigenvalue interlacing is a versatile technique for deriving results in algebraic combinatorics. In particular, it has been successfully used for proving a number of results about the relation between the (adjacency matrix or Laplacian)…
For a graph $H$, a graph $G$ is an $H$-graph if it is an intersection graph of connected subgraphs of some subdivision of $H$. $H$-graphs naturally generalize several important graph classes like interval or circular-arc graph. This class…
Let M be a totally orientable graph manifold with characteristic submanifold T and let M = V cup_S W be a Heegaard splitting. We prove that S is standard. In particular, S is the amalgamation of strongly irreducible Heegaard splittings. The…
We prove that every locally Hamiltonian graph with $n\ge 3$ vertices and possibly with multiple edges has at least $3n-6$ edges with equality if and only if it triangulates the sphere. As a consequence, every edge-maximal embedding of a…
Given a finite group $G$, the character graph, denoted by $\Delta(G)$, for its irreducible character degrees is a graph with vertex set $\rho(G)$ which is the set of prime numbers that divide the irreducible character degrees of $G$, and…
Let $F$ be a finite field, and let $\mathbb{E}$ be either a quadratic field extension $E/F$ or the split algebra $F \oplus F$. We study distinguished representations of $\rm{SL}_{2n}(F)$ by the subgroup $H_{\flat} := \rm{SL}_{2n}(F) \cap…
The size of the smallest $k$-regular graph of girth at least $g$ is denoted by the well-studied function $n(k,g)$. We introduce an analogous function $n(H,g)$, defined as the smallest size graph of girth at least $g$ that is a lift (or…
In this note we study some of the properties of the generating polynomial for homomorphisms from a graph to at complete weighted graph on $q$ vertices. We discuss how this polynomial relates to a long list of other well known graph…
By a regular embedding of a graph K in a surface we mean a 2-cell embedding of K in a compact connected surface such that the automorphism group acts regularly on flags. In this paper, we classify the nonorientable regular embeddings of the…
We introduce and investigate the solvable graph $\Gamma_\mathfrak{S}(L)$ of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra $L$ over a field $F$. The vertices are the elements outside the solvabilizer $\sol(L)$, and two vertices are adjacent whenever they…
We study the properties of finite graphs in which the ball of radius $r$ around each vertex induces a graph isomorphic to some fixed graph $F$. This is a natural extension of the study of regular graphs, and of the study of graphs of…
A fundamental theorem of Wilson states that, for every graph $F$, every sufficiently large $F$-divisible clique has an $F$-decomposition. Here a graph $G$ is $F$-divisible if $e(F)$ divides $e(G)$ and the greatest common divisor of the…
This paper lies in the context of the studies of eigenfunctions of graphs having minimum cardinality of support. One of the tools is the weight-distribution bound, a lower bound on the cardinality of support of an eigenfunction of a…
In this note, we prove that every even regular multigraph on $n$ vertices with multiplicity at most $r$ and minimum degree at least $rn/2 + o(n)$ has a Hamilton decomposition. This generalises a result of Vaughan who proved an asymptotic…
The size-Ramsey number $\hat{r}(H)$ of a graph $H$ is the smallest number of edges a (host) graph $G$ can have, such that for any red/blue colouring of $G$, there is a monochromatic copy of $H$ in $G$. Recently, Conlon, Nenadov and Truji\'c…
It is well-known that all finite connected graphs have a unique prime factor decomposition (PFD) with respect to the strong graph product which can be computed in polynomial time. Essential for the PFD computation is the construction of the…
