The {\it prime graph} $\Gamma(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is the set of prime divisors of $|G|$ and in which two distinct vertices $r$ and $s$ are adjacent if and only if there exists an element of $G$ of order…

For a graph $G$, the $\gamma$-graph of $G$, $G(\gamma)$, is the graph whose vertices correspond to the minimum dominating sets of $G$, and where two vertices of $G(\gamma)$ are adjacent if and only if their corresponding dominating sets in…

We determine the structure of automorphism groups of finite graphs of bounded Hadwiger number. Our proof includes a structural analysis of finite edge-transitive graphs. In particular, we show that for connected, $K_{h+1}$-minor-free,…

We give a sharp bound for the automorphism group of a cubic simple graph with a given number of vertices. For each number of vertices we give an explicit graph attaining the bound, and prove its uniqueness in special cases.

A graph $U$ is an induced universal graph for a family $F$ of graphs if every graph in $F$ is a vertex-induced subgraph of $U$. For the family of all undirected graphs on $n$ vertices Alstrup, Kaplan, Thorup, and Zwick [STOC 2015] give an…

We consider straight-line outerplanar drawings of outerplanar graphs in which a small number of distinct edge slopes are used, that is, the segments representing edges are parallel to a small number of directions. We prove that $\Delta-1$…

A classical enumerative result states that, given a graph $G$ and a vertex $u$, the number of connected subgraphs of $G$ is equal to the number of orientations of $G$ such that every vertex can reach $u$ by a directed path. We show that…

Dotted graphs are certain finite graphs with vertices of degree 2 called dots in the $xy$-plane $\mathbb{R}^2$, and a dotted graph is said to be admissible if it is associated with a lattice polytope in $\mathbb{R}^2$ each of whose edge is…

A graph is said to be a bi-Cayley graph over a group H if it admits H as a group of automorphisms acting semiregularly on its vertices with two orbits. For a prime p, we call a bi-Cayley graph over a metacyclic p-group a bi-p-metacirculant.…

Let $\perp$ be a unitary polarity of a finite projective plane $\pi$ of order $q^2$. The unitary polarity graph is the graph with vertex set the points of $\pi$ where two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if $x \in y^\perp$. We show that a…

An arithmetical structure on a finite and connected graph G is a pair (d, r) of positive integer vectors such that r is primitive (the gcd of its entries is 1) and (diag(d) - A)r = 0, where A is the adjacency matrix of G. In this article,…

This paper generalizes and unifies the existing spectral bounds on the $k$-independence number of a graph, which is the maximum size of a set of vertices at pairwise distance greater than $k$. The previous bounds known in the literature…

A $2$-distance-transitive graph is a vertex-transitive graph whose vertex stabilizer is transitive on both the first step and the second step neighborhoods. In this paper, we first answer a question of A. Devillers, M. Giudici, C. H. Li and…

We study the commuting graph of $n\times n$ matrices over the field of $p$-adics $\mathbb{Q}_p$, whose vertices are non-scalar $n\times n$ matrices with entries in $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and whose edges connect pairs of matrices that commute under…

We investigate the structure of graphs of twin-width at most $1$, and obtain the following results: - Graphs of twin-width at most $1$ are permutation graphs. In particular they have an intersection model and a linear structure. - There is…

The vertex connectivity of a graph $G$ is the size of the smallest set of vertices $S$ such that $G \setminus S$ is disconnected. For the class of planar graphs, the problem of vertex connectivity is well-studied, both from structural and…

For every $r \in \mathbb{N}$, let $\theta_r$ denote the graph with two vertices and $r$ parallel edges. The $\theta_r$-girth of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of edges of a subgraph of $G$ that can be contracted to $\theta_r$. This…

A digraph $D$ is an oriented graph if $D$ does not have a pair of opposite arcs. The degree of a vertex $v$ of $D$ is the sum of the in-degree and out-degree of $v.$ Let $fvs(D)$ be the minimum number of vertices whose deletion from $D$…

For a finite simple graph $G$, say $G$ is of dimension $n$, and write $\dim(G) = n$, if $n$ is the smallest integer such that $G$ can be represented as a unit-distance graph in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Define $G$ to be \emph{dimension-critical} if…

A non-complete graph is \emph{$2$-distance-transitive} if, for $i=1,2$ and for any two vertex pairs $(u_1,v_1)$ and $(u_2,v_2)$ with the same distance $i$ in the graph, there exists an element of the graph automorphism group that maps…
