A locally irregular graph is a graph whose adjacent vertices have distinct degrees. It was conjectured that every connected graph is edge decomposable to $3$ locally irregular subgraphs, unless it belongs to a certain family of exceptions,…

We say that a graph $G$ has an {\em odd $K_4$-subdivision} if some subgraph of $G$ is isomorphic to a $K_4$-subdivision and whose faces are all odd holes of $G$. For a number $\ell\geq 2$, let $\mathcal{G}_{\ell}$ denote the family of…

We show that for every prime $d$ and $\alpha\in (0,1/6)$, there is an infinite sequence of $(d+1)$-regular graphs $G=(V,E)$ with girth at least $2\alpha \log_{d}(|V|)(1-o_d(1))$, second adjacency matrix eigenvalue bounded by…

For a simple graph $G$, the $2$-distance graph, $D_2(G)$, is a graph with the vertex set $V(G)$ and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance is $2$ in the graph $G$. In this paper, we characterize all graphs with connected…

Regular colored graphs are dual representations of pure colored D-dimensional complexes. These graphs can be classified with respect to an integer, their degree, much like maps are characterized by the genus. We analyse the structure of…

In this paper we study the following problem. Let $A$ be a fixed graph, and let $\hom(G,A)$ denote the number of homomorphisms from a graph $G$ to $A$. Furthermore, let $v(G)$ denote the number of vertices of $G$, and let $\mathcal{G}_d$…

We analyze the Odd/odd vertex removal game introduced by P. Ottaway. We prove that every bipartite graph has Grundy value 0 or 1 only depending on the parity of the number of edges in the graph, which is a generalization of a conjecture of…

We classify generalized distance-squared mappings of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ into $\mathbb{R}^{2n+1}$ ($n\ge 1$) having generic central points. Moreover, we show that there does not exist a universal bad set $\Sigma\subset…

In this paper, all graphs whose adjacency matrix has at most two eigenvalues (multiplicities included) different from $2$ and $-1$ are determined. These graphs conclude a class of generalized friendship graphs $F_{t,r,k}, $ which is the…

In 1968, Erd\"os defined the Shift Graph as the graph whose vertices are the $k$-element subsets of $[n]=\{0,1,2,...,n-1\}$ such that $A=\{a_1,...,a_k\}$ and $B=\{b_1,...,b_k\}$ are neighbours iff $a_1<b_1=a_2<b_2=a_3<... <b_{n-1}=a_n<b_n$.…

We prove that the Kontsevich graph complex $GC_d^{2}$ and its oriented version $OGC_{d+1}^2$ are quasi-isomorphic as dg Lie algebras.

The total irregularity of a simple undirected graph $G$ is denoted by $irr_t(G)$ and is defined as $irr_t(G) = \frac{1}{2}\sum\limits_{u,v \in V(G)}|d(u) - d(v)|$. In this paper, the concept called edge-transformation in relation to total…

We prove improved bounds on how localized an eigenvector of a high girth regular graph can be, and present examples showing that these bounds are close to sharp. This study was initiated by Brooks and Lindenstrauss (2009) who relied on the…

The well-known 1-2-3 Conjecture asserts that the edges of every graph without isolated edges can be weighted with $1$, $2$ and $3$ so that adjacent vertices receive distinct weighted degrees. This is open in general, while it is known to be…

A $k$-uniform hypergraph $G=(V,E)$ is called odd-bipartite ([5]), if $k$ is even and there exists some proper subset $V_1$ of $V$ such that each edge of $G$ contains odd number of vertices in $V_1$. Odd-bipartite hypergraphs are…

The distance matrix of a connected graph is the symmetric matrix with columns and rows indexed by the vertices and entries that are the pairwise distances between the corresponding vertices. We give a construction for graphs which differ in…

An oriented graph is an orientation of a simple graph. In 2009, Keevash, K\"{u}hn and Osthus proved that every sufficiently large oriented graph $D$ of order $n$ with $(3n-4)/8$ is Hamiltonian. Later, Kelly, K\"{u}hn and Osthus showed that…

Generally speaking, `almost distance-regular' graphs share some, but not necessarily all, of the regularity properties that characterize distance-regular graphs. In this paper we propose two new dual concepts of almost distance-regularity,…

Let ${\rm dim}(G)$ and $D(G)$ respectively denote the metric dimension and the distinguishing number of a graph $G$. It is proved that $D(G) \le {\rm dim}(G)+1$ holds for every connected graph $G$. Among trees, exactly paths and stars…

For any graph $G = (V,E)$ and positive integer $d$, the exact distance-$d$ graph $G_{=d}$ is the graph with vertex set $V$, where two vertices are adjacent if and only if the distance between them in $G$ is $d$. We study the exact…
