In this paper, we introduce the concept of $k$-integral graphs. A graph $\Gamma$ is called $k$-integral if the extension degree of the splitting field of the characteristic polynomial of $\Gamma$ over rational field $\mathbb Q$ is equal to…

A classic result of Asplund and Gr\"unbaum states that intersection graphs of axis-aligned rectangles in the plane are $\chi$-bounded. This theorem can be equivalently stated in terms of path-decompositions as follows: There exists a…

Golumbic, Lipshteyn, and Stern defined in 2009 the class of EPG graphs, the intersection graph class of edge paths on a grid. An EPG graph $G$ is a graph that admits a representation where its vertices correspond to paths in a grid $Q$,…

An L-shape is the union of a horizontal and a vertical segment with a common endpoint. These come in four rotations: L, \Gamma, LE{} and \eeG. A $k$-bend path is a simple path in the plane, whose direction changes $k$ times from horizontal…

A graph $\Gamma$ is $G$-symmetric if $G$ is a group of automorphisms of $\Gamma$ which is transitive on the set of ordered pairs of adjacent vertices of $\Gamma$. If $V(\Gamma)$ admits a nontrivial $G$-invariant partition ${\cal B}$ such…

Let $G$ be a group and $m$ a positive integer. We say an $m$-Cayley digraph $\Gamma$ over $G$ is a digraph that admits a group of automorphisms isomorphic to $G$ acting semiregularly on the vertex set with $m$ orbits. The digraph $\Sigma$…

Let $N\geq 3$ be a composite, odd, and square-free integer and let $\Gamma$ be the principal congruence subgroup of level $N$. Let $X(N)$ be the modular curve of genus $g_{\Gamma}$ associated to $\Gamma$. In this article, we study the…

The symmetric group is generated by {\sigma} = (1 2 ... n) and {\tau} = (1 2). We answer an open problem of Nijenhuis and Wilf by constructing a Hamilton path in the directed Cayley graph for all n, and a Hamilton cycle for odd n.

A mixed dihedral group is a group $H$ with two disjoint subgroups $X$ and $Y$, each elementary abelian of order $2^n$, such that $H$ is generated by $X\cup Y$, and $H/H'\cong X\times Y$. In this paper, for each $n\geq 2$, we construct a…

The isomorphism problem for digraphs is a fundamental problem in graph theory. This problem for Cayley digraphs has been extensively investigated over the last half a century. In this paper, we consider this problem for $m$-Cayley digraphs…

The unitary Cayley graph $C_R$ of a finite unital ring $R$ is the simple graph with vertex set $R$ in which two elements $x$ and $y$ are connected by an edge if and only if $x-y$ is a unit of $R$. We characterize the unitary Cayley graph…
