Juri\'{s}i\v{c} et al. conjectured that if a distance-regular graph $\Gamma$ with diameter $D$ at least three has a light tail, then one of the following holds: 1.$a_1 =0$; 2.$\Gamma$ is an antipodal cover of diameter three; 3.$\Gamma$ is…

For non-negative integers~$k$, we consider graphs in which every vertex has exactly $k$ vertices at distance~$2$, i.e., graphs whose distance-$2$ graphs are $k$-regular. We call such graphs $k$-metamour-regular motivated by the terminology…

We say that a vertex $v$ in a connected graph $G$ is decisive if the numbers of walks from $v$ of each length determine the graph $G$ rooted at $v$ up to isomorphism among all connected rooted graphs with the same number of vertices. On the…

To address the peculiarities of directed and/or signed graphs, new Laplacian operators have emerged. For instance, in the case of directionality, we encounter the magnetic operator, dilation (which is underexplored), operators based on…

Let $\Gamma$ be a locally finite graph, $L$ the normalized Laplacian of $\Gamma$. If $\Gamma$ is uniformy locally finite, i.e. if each vertex has no more than $d$ adjacent vertices, then the matrix of $L$ (with respect to the standard…

Let $D$ be an digraph of order $n$ with adjacency matrix $A(D)$ and outdegree matrix $\Delta^+=\Delta^+(D)$. Then the Laplacian and signless Laplacian matrices of $D$ are respectively defined as $L(D)=\Delta^+-A(D)$ and…

For an $n$-vertex graph $G$ with adjacency matrix $A$, the walk matrix $W(G)$ of $G$ is the matrix $[e,Ae,\ldots,A^{n-1}e]$, where $e$ is the all-ones vector. Suppose that $W(G)$ is nonsingular and $p$ is an odd prime such that $W(G)$ has…

Let $M\circ N$ denote the Schur product of two matrices $M$ and $N$. A graph $X$ with adjacency matrix $A$ is walk regular if $A^k\circ I$ is a constant times $I$ for each $k\ge0$, and $X$ is 1-walk-regular if it is walk regular and…

The walk distances in graphs are defined as the result of appropriate transformations of the $\sum_{k=0}^\infty(tA)^k$ proximity measures, where $A$ is the weighted adjacency matrix of a connected weighted graph and $t$ is a sufficiently…

An eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a graph is said to be \emph{main} if the all-1 vector is not orthogonal to the associated eigenspace. In this work, we approach the main eigenvalues of some graphs. The graphs with exactly two main…

The paper constructs an infinite sequence of strongly regular directed graphs. The construction is based on representing adjacency matrices as block matrices composed of circulant blocks, together with the use of a compactification…

In this paper we initialize the study of independent domination in directed graphs. We show that an independent dominating set of an orientation of a graph is also an independent dominating set of the underlying graph, but that the converse…

We consider nonregular graphs having precisely three distinct eigenvalues. The focus is mainly on the case of graphs having two distinct valencies and our results include constructions of new examples, structure theorems, valency…

Highly-regular graphs can be regarded as a combinatorial generalization of distance-regular graphs. From this standpoint, we study combinatorial aspects of highly-regular graphs. As a result, we give the following three main results in this…

Let $X=(V\!X,E\!X)$ be an infinite, locally finite, connected graph without loops or multiple edges. We consider the edges to be oriented, and $E\!X$ is equipped with an involution which inverts the orientation. Each oriented edge is…

The problem of a restricted random walk on graphs which keeps track of the number of immediate reversal steps is considered by using a transfer matrix formulation. A closed-form expression is obtained for the generating function of the…

We propose high-order hypergraph walks as a framework to generalize graph-based network science techniques to hypergraphs. Edge incidence in hypergraphs is quantitative, yielding hypergraph walks with both length and width. Graph methods…

Evolution algebras are non-associative algebras inspired from biological phenomena, with applications to or connections with different mathematical fields. There are two natural ways to define an evolution algebra associated to a given…

We extend the study of link-irregular graphs to directed graphs (digraphs), where a digraph is link-irregular if no two vertices have isomorphic directed links. We establish that link-irregular digraphs exist on $n$ vertices if and only if…

For a simple graph $\Gamma$, a (bipartite)tree-line graph and a tree-graph of $\Gamma$ can be defined. With a (bipartite)tree-line graph constructed by the function $(b)\ell$, we study the continuous quantum walk on $(b)\ell ^n \Gamma$. An…
