A connected graph can be associated with two distinct evolution algebras. In the first case, the structural matrix is the adjacency matrix of the graph itself. In the second case, the structural matrix is the transition probabilities matrix…
Given a finite simple graph $G$, let $\operatorname{M}(G)$ denote its 2-distance graph, in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if they have distance 2 in $G$. In this paper, we consider the periodic behavior of the sequence $G,…
A walk of length $n$ in a graph is consistent if there exists an automorphism of the graph that maps the initial $n-1$ vertices to the final $n-1$ vertices of the walk. In this paper we find some sufficient conditions for a consistent walk…
In this paper we show that for integers $s\geq2$, $t\geq1$, any co-edge-regular graph which is cospectral with the $s$-clique extension of the $t\times t$-grid is the $s$-clique extension of the $t\times t$-grid, if $t$ is large enough.…
Graph vertex embeddings based on random walks have become increasingly influential in recent years, showing good performance in several tasks as they efficiently transform a graph into a more computationally digestible format while…
We prove that every simple 2-connected subcubic graph on $n$ vertices with $n_2$ vertices of degree 2 has a TSP walk of length at most $\frac{5n+n_2}{4}-1$, confirming a conjecture of Dvo\v{r}\'ak, Kr\'al', and Mohar. This bound is best…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of two-way $(t,\lambda)$-liking digraphs as a way to extend the results for generalized friendship graphs. A two-way $(t,\lambda)$-liking digraph is a digraph in which every $t$ vertices have exactly…
For a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, naively sampling the position of a random walk of at time $t$ requires work $\Omega(t)$. We desire local access algorithms supporting $\text{position}(G,s,t)$ queries, which return the position of a random…
In this paper we study graphs which admit acyclic orientations that contain a pair of arc-disjoint out-branching and in-branching (such an orientation is called good) and we focus on edge-minimal such graphs. A 2T-graph is a graph whose…
The Grover walk is one of the most well-studied quantum walks on graphs. In this paper, we investigate its periodicity to reveal the relationship between the quantum walk and the underlying graph, focusing particularly on the…
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…
Higher order random walks (HD-walks) on high dimensional expanders (HDX) have seen an incredible amount of study and application since their introduction by Kaufman and Mass [KM16], yet their broader combinatorial and spectral properties…
We investigate the computational complexity of finding temporally disjoint paths or walks in temporal graphs. There, the edge set changes over discrete time steps and a temporal path (resp. walk) uses edges that appear at monotonically…
Matrix-based centrality measures have enjoyed significant popularity in network analysis, in no small part due to our ability to rigorously analyze their behavior as parameters vary. Recent work has considered the relationship between…
Toll convexity is a variation of the so-called interval convexity. A tolled walk $T$ between $u$ and $v$ in $G$ is a walk of the form $T: u,w_1,\ldots,w_k,v,$ where $k\ge 1$, in which $w_1$ is the only neighbor of $u$ in $T$ and $w_k$ is…
It is known that families of graphs with a semialgebraic edge relation of bounded complexity satisfy much stronger regularity properties than arbitrary graphs, and that they can be decomposed into very homogeneous semialgebraic pieces up to…
The continuous-time quantum walk is a particle evolving by Schr\"odinger's equation in discrete space. Encoding the space as a graph of vertices and edges, the Hamiltonian is proportional to the discrete Laplacian. In some physical systems,…
In this paper, we investigate various algebraic and graph theoretic properties of the distance matrix of a graph. Two graphs are $D$-cospectral if their distance matrices have the same spectrum. We construct infinite pairs of $D$-cospectral…
The problem of characterizing graphs determined by their spectrum (DS) or generalized spectrum (DGS) has been a longstanding topic of interest in spectral graph theory, originating from questions in chemistry and mathematical physics. While…
A graph $G$ is $l$-path Hamiltonian if every path of length not exceeding $l$ is contained in a Hamiltonian cycle. It is well known that a 2-connected, $k$-regular graph $G$ on at most $3k-1$ vertices is edge-Hamiltonian if for every edge…
