Edge ideals of finite simple graphs $G$ on $n$ vertices are the ideals $I(G)$ of the polynomial ring $S$ in $n$ variables generated by the quadratic monomials associated with the edges of $G$. In this paper, we consider the possible pairs…

Let G be a graph of order $n$ with adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and diagonal matrix of degree $D(G)$. For every $\alpha \in [0,1]$, Nikiforov \cite{VN17} defined the matrix $A_\alpha(G) = \alpha D(G) + (1-\alpha)A(G)$. In this paper we present…

The spectrum of a graph is closely related to many graph parameters. In particular, the spectral gap of a regular graph which is the difference between its valency and second eigenvalue, is widely seen an algebraic measure of connectivity…

In this paper, we study the characters of homogeneous monotonic P-polynomial table algebras with finite dimension d>=5. We then apply them to association schemes. To this end, we develop some methods using tridiagonal matrices and…

In this paper, we present some properties on chromatic polynomials of hypergraphs which do not hold for chromatic polynomials of graphs. We first show that chromatic polynomials of hypergraphs have all integers as their zeros and contain…

We introduce the strong alliance polynomial of a graph. The strong alliance polynomial of a graph $G$ with order n and strong defensive alliance number $a(G)$ is the polynomial $a(G;x):=\sum_{i=a(G)}^{n}\, a_i(G)\ x^i$, where $a_{k}(G)$ is…

An association scheme is called partially metric if it has a connected relation whose distance-two relation is also a relation of the scheme. In this paper we determine the symmetric partially metric association schemes with a multiplicity…

Consider a semi-algebraic set A in R^d constructed from the sets which are determined by inequalities p_i(x)>0, p_i(x)\ge 0, or p_i(x)=0 for a given list of polynomials p_1,...,p_m. We prove several statements that fit into the following…
