Two signed graphs are called switching isomorphic if one of them is isomorphic to a switching equivalent of the other. To determine the number of switching non-isomorphic signed graphs on a specific graph, we will establish a method based…

We define $G$-cospectrality of two $G$-gain graphs $(\Gamma,\psi)$ and $(\Gamma',\psi')$, proving that it is a switching isomorphism invariant. When $G$ is a finite group, we prove that $G$-cospectrality is equivalent to cospectrality with…

Seidel switching is a classical operation on graphs which plays a central role in the theory of two-graphs, signed graphs, and switching classes. In this paper we focus on those switches which leave a given graph invariant up to…

We consider orbit partitions of groups of automorphisms for the symplectic graph and apply Godsil-McKay switching. As a result, we find four families of strongly regular graphs with the same parameters as the symplectic graphs, including…

The generalized distance matrix of a graph is a matrix in which the $(i,j)$th entry is a function, $f$, of the distance between vertex $i$ and vertex $j$. Depending on the choice of $f$, this family of matrices includes both the adjacency…

In this article, we construct bipartite graphs which are cospectral for both the adjacency and normalized Laplacian matrices using partitioned tensor product. This extends the construction of Ji, Gong, and Wang \cite{ji-gong-wang}. Our…

Two graphs $G$ and $H$ are \emph{cospectral} if the adjacency matrices share the same spectrum. Constructing cospectral non-isomorphic graphs has been studied extensively for many years and various constructions are known in the literature,…

Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and degree matrix $D(G)$, and let $L_\mu(G):=A(G)-\mu D(G)$. Two graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$ are called \emph{degree-similar} if there exists an invertible matrix $M$ such that $M^{-1} A(G_1) M…

The operation of switching a graph $\Gamma$ with respect to a subset $X$ of the vertex set interchanges edges and non-edges between $X$ and its complement, leaving the rest of the graph unchanged. This is an equivalence relation on the set…

Let $\Gamma=(G,\sigma)$ be a signed graph, where $\sigma$ is the sign function on the edges of $G$. In this paper, we use the operation of partial transpose to obtain non-isomorphic Laplacian cospectral signed graphs. We will introduce two…

An orientation of a graph is semi-transitive if it contains no directed cycles and has no shortcuts. An undirected graph is semi-transitive if it can be oriented in a semi-transitive manner. The class of semi-transitive graphs includes…

In a graph, the switching operation reverses adjacencies between a subset of vertices and the others. For a hereditary graph class $\mathcal{G}$, we are concerned with the maximum subclass and the minimum superclass of $\mathcal{G}$ that…

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…

A well--known fact in Spectral Graph Theory is the existence of pairs of isospectral nonisomorphic graphs (known as PINGS). The work of A.J. Schwenk (in 1973) and of C. Godsil and B. McKay (in 1982) shed some light on the explanation of the…

Recently the collection $\cal G$ of all signed graphs for which the adjacency matrix has all but at most two eigenvalues equal to $\pm 1$ has been determined. Here we investigate $\cal G$ for cospectral pairs, and for signed graphs…

A switching method is a graph operation that results in cospectral graphs (graphs with the same spectrum). Work by Wang and Xu [Discrete Math. 310 (2010)] suggests that most cospectral graphs with cospectral complements can be constructed…

Two $k$-uniform hypergraphs are said to be cospectral (E-cospectral), if their adjacency tensors have the same characteristic polynomial (E-characteristic polynomial). A $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ is said to be determined by its spectrum,…

The isomorphism problem of Cayley graphs has been well studied in the literature, such as characterizations of CI (DCI)-graphs and CI (DCI)-groups. In this paper, we generalize these to vertex-transitive graphs and establish parallel…

A gain graph over a group $G$, also referred to as $G$-gain graph, is a graph where an element of a group $G$, called gain, is assigned to each oriented edge, in such a way that the inverse element is associated with the opposite…

If a graph has a non-singular adjacency matrix, then one may use the inverse matrix to define a (labeled) graph that may be considered to be the inverse graph to the original one. It has been known that an adjacency matrix of a tree is…
