A $k$-geodetic digraph with minimum out-degree $d$ has excess $\epsilon $ if it has order $M(d,k) + \epsilon $, where $M(d,k)$ represents the Moore bound for out-degree $d$ and diameter $k$. For given $\epsilon $, it is simple to show that…

We unify several seemingly different graph and digraph classes under one umbrella. These classes are all broadly speaking different generalizations of interval graphs, and include, in addition to interval graphs, also adjusted interval…

For an ordered set $W=\{w_1,w_2,...,w_k\}$ of vertices and a vertex $v$ in a connected graph $G$, the ordered $k$-vector $r(v|W):=(d(v,w_1),d(v,w_2),.,d(v,w_k))$ is called the (metric) representation of $v$ with respect to $W$, where…

In this paper, we simplify the known switching theorem due to Bose and Shrikhande as follows. Let $G=(V,E)$ be a primitive strongly regular graph with parameters $(v,k,\lambda,\mu)$. Let $S(G,H)$ be the graph from $G$ by switching with…

The theory of frames normal for general connections on differentiable bundles is developed. Links with the existing theory of frames normal for covariant derivative operators (linear connections) in vector bundles are revealed. The…

A graph is beyond-planar if it can be drawn in the plane with a specific restriction on crossings. Several types of beyond-planar graphs have been investigated, such as k-planar if every edge is crossed at most k times and RAC if edges can…

A $k$-regular graph of girth $g$ is called vertex-girth-regular if every vertex is contained in the same number of cycles of length $g$. For integers $n, k, g$ and $\lambda$, we denote such a graph on $n$ vertices in which every vertex lies…

We consider the problem of achieving average consensus in the minimum number of linear iterations on a fixed, undirected graph. We are motivated by the task of deriving lower bounds for consensus protocols and by the so-called "definitive…

The $k$-matching polytope of a graph is the convex hull of all its matchings of a given size $k$ when they are considered as indicator vectors. In this paper, we prove that the $k$-matching polytope of a bipartite graph is normal, that is,…

The diameter of a graph measures the maximal distance between any pair of vertices. The diameters of many small-world networks, as well as a variety of other random graph models, grow logarithmically in the number of nodes. In contrast, the…

Properties of graphs that can be characterized by the spectrum of the adjacency matrix of the graph have been studied systematically recently. Motivated by the complexity of these properties, we show that there are such properties for which…

A continuous map from R^m to R^N or from C^m to C^N is called k-regular if the images of any $k$ points are linearly independent. Given integers m and k a problem going back to Chebyshev and Borsuk is to determine the minimal value of N for…

In this paper, we study commutative weakly distance-regular digraphs whose attached association schemes are regular, and give a characterization of mixed arcs. As an application, we classify such digraphs of diameter 2.

Let $n\ge 1$ be an integer and $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$ with $q$ elements. In this paper, it is proved that the Wenger graph $W_n(q)$ and linearized Wenger graph $L_m(q)$ are edge-girth-regular…

A Deza graph G with parameters (n,k,b,a) is a k-regular graph with n vertices such that any two distinct vertices have b or a common neighbours, where b >= a. The children G_A and G_B of a Deza graph G are defined on the vertex set of G…

We study a family of graphs related to the $n$-cube. The middle cube graph of parameter $k$ is the subgraph of $Q_{2k-1}$ induced by the set of vertices whose binary representation has either $k-1$ or $k$ number of ones. The middle cube…

In this paper, we illustrate important aspects of the interplay between weighing matrices, $(v,k,\lambda)$-graphs with fixed-point free involutions, and signed graphs with an orthogonal adjacency matrix, which arises from thin divisible…

We define a normal graph algebra modeled on algebras used in genetics. Although the algebra does not always determine its graph, it often highlights special features. After developing basic properties of the algebra, we examine those of…

A regular clique in a regular graph is a clique such that every vertex outside of the clique is adjacent to the same positive number of vertices inside the clique. We continue the study of regular cliques in edge-regular graphs initiated by…

Graphs can be associated with a matrix according to some rule and we can find the spectrum of a graph with respect to that matrix. Two graphs are cospectral if they have the same spectrum. Constructions of cospectral graphs help us…
