The unordered configuration space of $n$ points on a graph $\Gamma,$ denoted here by $UC^n(\Gamma),$ can be viewed as the space of all configurations of $n$ unlabeled robots on a system of one-dimensional tracks, which is interpreted as a…
The Dowling geometry $Q_n(\Gamma)$, where $\Gamma$ is a finite group, is a matroid that generalizes the complete-graphic matroid $M(K_{n+1})$. We determine the maximum size of an $N$-free submatroid of $Q_n(\Gamma)$ for various choices of…
In this paper, we answer the question: "what is the qth Fibonacci number, where q is a positive rational?". The answer is the codenominator function, which is an integral-valued map. It is defined via a pair of functional equations. Many…
A unit cube in $k$ dimensions ($k$-cube) is defined as the the Cartesian product $R_1\times R_2\times...\times R_k$ where $R_i$(for $1\leq i\leq k$) is a closed interval of the form $[a_i,a_i+1]$ on the real line. A graph $G$ on $n$ nodes…
When $k|n$, the tree $\mathrm{Comb}_{n,k}$ consists of a path containing $n/k$ vertices, each of whose vertices has a disjoint path length $k-1$ beginning at it. We show that, for any $k=k(n)$ and $\epsilon>0$, the binomial random graph…
Let $\Gamma=(X,\mathcal{R})$ denote a finite, simple, connected, and undirected non-bipartite graph with vertex set $X$ and edge set $\mathcal{R}$. Fix a vertex $x \in X$, and define $\mathcal{R}_f = \mathcal{R} \setminus \{yz \mid…
We study gaps in the spectra of the adjacency matrices of large finite cubic graphs. It is known that the gap intervals $(2 \sqrt{2},3)$ and $[-3,-2)$ achieved in cubic Ramanujan graphs and line graphs are maximal. We give constraints on…
Let a tribonacci sequence be a sequence of integers satisfying $a_k=a_{k-1}+a_{k-2}+a_{k-3}$ for all $k\ge 4$. For any positive integers $k$ and $n$, denote by $f_k(n)$ the number of tribonacci sequences with $a_1, a_2, a_3>0$ and with…
Let $q$ be an odd prime power, let $n\ge 2$, and let $V\subsetneq \mathbb F_{q^n}$ be a proper $\mathbb F_q$-vector subspace. Given a nonzero quadratic form $Q(X,Y)\in \mathbb F_{q^n}[X,Y]$, we consider the graph $\Gamma(Q,V)$ that…
We study a recursively defined two-parameter family of graphs which generalize Fibonacci cubes and Pell graphs and determine their basic structural and enumerative properties. In particular, we show that all of them are induced subgraphs of…
In this work we consider the class of Cayley graphs known as generalized Paley graphs (GP-graphs for short) given by $\Gamma(k,q) = Cay(\mathbb{F}_q, \{x^k : x\in \mathbb{F}_q^* \})$, where $\mathbb{F}_q$ is a finite field with $q$…
A geometric graph is a graph drawn in the plane with vertices represented by points and edges as straight-line segments. A geometric graph contains a (k,l)-crossing family if there is a pair of edge subsets E_1,E_2 such that |E_1| = k and…
Let $n$ be any positive integer, the friendship graph $F_n$ consist of $n$ edge-disjoint triangles that all of them meeting in one vertex. A graph $G$ is called cospectral with a graph $H$ if their adjacency matrices have the same…
We show that for $q\in (0,1),$ the $C^{*}$-algebra $SU_{q}(3)$ is isomorphic a rank $2$ graph $C^{*}$-algebra (in the sense of Pask and Kumjian). This graph is derived by passing the to the limit $q\to 0$ for a set of generators of…
Recently, Huang showed that every $(2^{n-1}+1)$-vertex induced subgraph of the $n$-dimensional hypercube has maximum degree at least $\sqrt{n}$ in [Annals of Mathematics, 190 (2019), 949--955]. In this paper, we discuss the induced…

The $n$-cube graph is the graph on the vertex set of $n$-tuples of $0$s and $1$s, with two vertices joined by an edge if and only if the $n$-tuples differ in exactly one component. We compute the Smith group of this graph, or, equivalently,…
A $q$-graph $H$ on $n$ vertices is a set of vectors of length $n$ with all entries from $\{0,1,\dots,q\}$ and every vector (that we call a $q$-edge) having exactly two non-zero entries. The support of a $q$-edge $\mathbf{x}$ is the pair…
