We introduce the set $\mathcal{G}^{\rm SSP}$ of all simple graphs $G$ with the property that each symmetric matrix corresponding to a graph $G \in \mathcal{G}^{\rm SSP}$ has the strong spectral property. We find several families of graphs…

In this paper we consider the concept of preintersection numbers of a graph. These numbers are determined by the spectrum of the adjacency matrix of the graph, and generalize the intersection numbers of a distance-regular graph. By using…

In 1968, Erd\"os defined the Shift Graph as the graph whose vertices are the $k$-element subsets of $[n]=\{0,1,2,...,n-1\}$ such that $A=\{a_1,...,a_k\}$ and $B=\{b_1,...,b_k\}$ are neighbours iff $a_1<b_1=a_2<b_2=a_3<... <b_{n-1}=a_n<b_n$.…

For polynomials and rational maps of fixed degree over a finite field, we bound both the average number of connected components of their functional graphs as well as the average number of periodic points of their associated dynamical…

We prove a generic Torelli theorem for Jacobian elliptic surfaces, provided that the geometric genus is large compared to the irregularity. The result is effective to the extent that defining equations for the base curve are recovered from…

We consider the following generalization of dominating sets: Let $G$ be a host graph and $P$ be a pattern graph $P$. A dominating $P$-pattern in $G$ is a subset $S$ of vertices in $G$ that (1) forms a dominating set in $G$ \emph{and} (2)…

We develop unbiased strategies to probabilistic T-wave snowball sampling from graphs, where the interest of estimation may concern finite-order subgraphs such as triangles, cycles or stars. Our approaches encompass also the…

Let $\mathscr{L}_{n,t}$ be the set of all $n$-vertex connected graphs with clique number $t$\,($2\leq t\leq n)$. For $n$-vertex connected graphs with given clique number, lexicographic ordering by spectral moments ($S$-order) is discussed…

This paper introduces the concept of compliant vertices and compliant graphs, with a focus on the total domination degree (TDD) of a vertex in compliant graphs. The TDD is systematically calculated for various graph classes, including path…

Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$. The domination polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial $D(G,\lambda)=\sum_{i=0}^{n} d(G,i) \lambda^{i}$, where $d(G,i)$ is the number of dominating sets of $G$ of size $i$. We consider the lexicographic…

We study the following problem: for given integers $d$, $k$ and graph $G$, can we reduce some fixed graph parameter $\pi$ of $G$ by at least $d$ via at most $k$ graph operations from some fixed set $S$? As parameters we take the chromatic…

We give some new bounds for the clique and independence numbers of a graph in terms of its eigenvalues.

In this paper we give tight upper bounds on the total domination number, the weakly connected domination number and the connected domination number of a graph in terms of order and Euler characteristic. We also present upper bounds for the…

Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be disjoint copies of a graph $G$, and let $f: V(G_1) \rightarrow V(G_2)$ be a function. Then a \emph{functigraph} $C(G, f)=(V, E)$ has the vertex set $V=V(G_1) \cup V(G_2)$ and the edge set $E=E(G_1) \cup E(G_2) \cup…

The spectral determinant of the Schr\"odinger operator ($ - \Delta + V(x) $) on a graph is computed for general boundary conditions. ($\Delta$ is the Laplacian and $V(x)$ is some potential defined on the graph). Applications to restricted…

This paper presents a spline-based parameterisation framework for plane graphs. The plane graph is characterised by a collection of curves forming closed loops that fence-off planar faces which have to be parameterised individually. Hereby,…

A vertex subset $S$ of a graph $G$ is a general position set of $G$ if no vertex of $S$ lies on a geodesic between two other vertices of $S$. The cardinality of a largest general position set of $G$ is the general position number…

Cop-width and flip-width are new families of graph parameters introduced by Toru\'nczyk (2023) that generalise treewidth, degeneracy, generalised colouring numbers, clique-width and twin-width. In this paper, we bound the cop-width and…

We introduce what we call `generalized higher rank $k$-graphs' as a class of categories equipped with a notion of size. They extend not only the higher rank $k$-graphs, but also the Levi categories introduced by the first author as a…

We consider some problems concerning the maximum number of (strong) dominating sets in a regular graph, and their weighted analogues. Our primary tool is Shearer's entropy lemma. These techniques extend to a reasonably broad class of graph…
