Bergman has given the following abstract characterisation of the inner automorphisms of a group $G$: they are exactly those automorphisms of $G$ which can be extended functorially along any homomorphism $G \rightarrow H$ to an automorphism…

A set $S\subseteq V$ is \textit{independent} in a graph $G=\left( V,E\right) $ if no two vertices from $S$ are adjacent. The \textit{independence number} $\alpha(G)$ is the cardinality of a maximum independent set, while $\mu(G)$ is the…

A graph G is said to be 2-distinguishable if there is a 2-labeling of its vertices which is not preserved by any nontrivial automorphism of G. We show that every locally finite graph with infinite motion and growth at most…

We prove that any isometry of the graph of cyclic splittings of a finitely generated free group $F_N$ of rank $N\ge 3$ is induced by an outer automorphism of $F_N$. The same statement also applies to the graphs of maximally-cyclic…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, $q=p^e$, $e\ge 1$, and $\mathbb{F} = \mathbb{F_q}$ denote the finite field of $q$ elements. Let $f: \mathbb{F}^2\to \mathbb{F}$ and $g: \mathbb{F}^3\to \mathbb{F}$ be functions, and let $P$ and $L$ be two copies of…

Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and let $D(G)$ be the diagonal matrix of the degrees of $G$. For any real $\alpha\in [0,1]$, Nikiforov \cite{VN1} defined the matrix $A_{\alpha}(G)$ as $$A_{\alpha}(G)=\alpha…

Let $S$ be a non-empty finite set. A flag of $S$ is a set $f$ of non-empty proper subsets of $S$ such that $X\subseteq Y$ or $Y\subseteq X$ for all $X,Y\in f$. The set $\{|X|:X\in f\}$ is called the type of $f$. Two flags $f$ and $f'$ are…

The automorphism group of the composition of graphs $G \circ H$ contains the wreath product $Aut(H) \wr Aut(G)$ of the automorphism groups of the corresponding graphs. The classical problem considered by Sabidussi and Hemminger was under…

A graph $\Ga$ is $G$-symmetric if $\Ga$ admits $G$ as a group of automorphisms acting transitively on the set of vertices and the set of arcs of $\Ga$, where an arc is an ordered pair of adjacent vertices. In the case when $G$ is…

We consider the Grassmann graph of $k$-dimensional subspaces of an $n$-dimensional vector space over the $q$-element field and its subgraph $\Gamma(n,k)_q$ formed by non-degenerate linear $[n,k]_q$ codes. We assume that $1<k<n-1$. It is…

Suppose $X$ is a simple graph. The $X-$join $\Gamma$ of a set of complete or empty graphs $\{X_x \}_{x \in V(X)}$ is a simple graph with the following vertex and edge sets: \begin{eqnarray*} V(\Gamma) &=& \{(x,y) \ | \ x \in V(X) \ \& \ y…

The independent domination number $i(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a maximal independent set of $G$, also called an $i(G)$-set. The $i$-graph of $G$, denoted $\mathscr{I}(G)$, is the graph whose vertices correspond to the…
