In this paper we deal with two aspects of the minimum rank of a simple undirected graph $G$ on $n$ vertices over a finite field $\FF_q$ with $q$ elements, which is denoted by $\mr(\FF_q,G)$. In the first part of this paper we show that the…

In 2017, Qiao and Koolen showed that for any fixed integer $D\geq 3$, there are only finitely many such graphs with $\theta_{\min}\leq -\alpha k$, where $0<\alpha<1$ is any fixed number. In this paper, we will study non-bipartite…

Edge-girth-regular graphs (abbreviated as \emph{egr} graphs) are regular graphs in which every edge is contained in the same number of shortest cycles. We prove that there is no $3$-regular \emph{egr} graph with girth $7$ such that every…

In this paper we study the following problem. Let $A$ be a fixed graph, and let $\hom(G,A)$ denote the number of homomorphisms from a graph $G$ to $A$. Furthermore, let $v(G)$ denote the number of vertices of $G$, and let $\mathcal{G}_d$…

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph and $I(G)$ denote the corresponding edge ideal. In this paper we prove that if $G$ is a unicyclic graph then for all $s \geq 1$ the regularity of $I(G)^s$ is exactly $2s+\text{reg}(I(G))-2$. We also…

For a connected graph $G$ with order $n$, let $e(G)$ represent the number of its distinct eigenvalues, and let $d$ denote its diameter. We denote the eigenvalue multiplicity of $\mu$ in $G$ by $m_G(\mu)$. It is well established that the…

Let $D$ be an oriented graph. The inversion of a set $X$ of vertices in $D$ consists in reversing the direction of all arcs with both ends in $X$. The inversion number of $D$, denoted by ${\rm inv}(D)$, is the minimum number of inversions…

Let $G$ be a finite, connected graph. The eccentricity of a vertex $v$ of $G$ is the distance from $v$ to a vertex farthest from $v$. The average eccentricity of $G$ is the arithmetic mean of the eccentricities of the vertices of $G$. We…

Let G be a simple graph without isolated vertices. For a vertex i in G, the degree d_i is the number of vertices adjacent to i and the average 2-degree m_i is the mean of the degrees of the vertices which are adjacent to i. The sequence of…

Confirming a conjecture of Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il, we show that up to isomorphism there is only a finite number of finite minimal asymmetric undirected graphs. In fact, there are exactly 18 such graphs. We also show that these graphs are exactly…

Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$. The eccentricity $e(v)$ of a vertex $v$ is the distance from $v$ to a vertex farthest from $v$. The average eccentricity of $G$ is the mean of all eccentricities in $G$. We give upper bounds on the…

For a graph $G$ the imbalance of an edge $uv$ of $G$ is $|deg_G(u)-deg_G(v)|$. Irregularity of a graph $G$ is defined as the sum of imbalances over all edges of $G$. In this paper we consider expansions and Pell graphs. If $H$ is an…

Given a finite group $G$ with a normal subgroup $N$, the simple graph $\Gamma_\textit{G}( \textit{N} )$ is a graph whose vertices are of the form $|x^G|$, where $x\in{N\setminus{Z(G)}}$, and $x^G$ is the $G$-conjugacy class of $N$…

A graph $G$ of order $n$ is said to be $k$-factor-critical for integers $1\leq k < n$, if the removal of any $k$ vertices results in a graph with a perfect matching. $1$- and $2$-factor-critical graphs are the well-known factor-critical and…

We study rotation $r$-graphs and show that for every $r$-graph $G$ of odd regularity there is a simple rotation $r$-graph $G'$ such that $G$ can be obtained form $G'$ by a finite number of $2$-cut reductions. As a consequence, some hard…

Let $W(G)$ be the Wiener index of a graph $G$. We say that a vertex $v \in V(G)$ is a \v{S}olt\'es vertex in $G$ if $W(G - v) = W(G)$, i.e. the Wiener index does not change if the vertex $v$ is removed. In 1991, \v{S}olt\'es posed the…
