A graph is {\it square-complementary} ({\it squco}, for short) if its square and complement are isomorphic. We prove that there is no squco graph of girth $6$, thus answersing a question asked by Milani\vc et al. [Discrete Math., 2014, to…
Let $Q^+(2n+1,q)$ be a hyperbolic quadric of $\PG(2n+1,q)$. Fix a generator $\Pi$ of the quadric. Define $\cG_n$ as the graph with vertex set the points of $Q^+(2n+1,q)\setminus \Pi$ and two vertices adjacent if they either span a secant to…
In this paper, we prove the existence of directed strongly regular graphs with parameters $(63,11,8,1,2)$. We construct a pair of nonisomorphic dsrg(63,11,8,1,2), where one is obtained from the other by reversing all arrows. Both directed…
We give simple arithmetic conditions that force the Sylow $p$-subgroup of the critical group of a strongly regular graph to take a specific form. These conditions depend only on the parameters $(v, k, \lambda, \mu)$ of the strongly regular…
Strongly regular graphs (SRGs) are highly symmetric combinatorial objects, with connections to many areas of mathematics including finite fields, finite geometries, and number theory. One can construct an SRG via the Cayley Graph of a…
This is a report on a failed attempt to construct new graphs that are strongly regular with no triangles. The approach is based on the assumption that the second subconstituent has an equitable partition with four parts. For infinitely many…
We show that the method of counting closed walks in strongly regular graphs rules out no parameter sets other than those ruled out by the method of counting eigenvalue multiplicities.
We construct a strongly regular graph with the parameters (65; 32; 15; 16). The idea is to search for an adjacency matrix that consists of circulant blocks. Equations with such matrices can be reduced to congruences with polynomials…
Let $\lambda\geq2$ be an integer. For strongly regular graphs with parameters $(v, k, a,c)$ and smallest eigenvalue $-\lambda$, Neumaier gave two bounds on $c$ by using algebraic property of strongly regular graphs. In this paper, we will…
We prove that a distance-regular graph with intersection array $\{55,36,11;1,4,45\}$ does not exist. This intersection array is from the table of feasible parameters for distance-regular graphs in "Distance-regular graphs"\ by A.E. Brouwer,…
Twelve new strongly regular graphs with parameters (81,30,9,12) are found as graphs invariant under certain subgroups of the automorphism groups of the two previously known graphs that arise from 2-weight codes. One of these new graphs is…
In this paper, we give a complete description of strongly regular graphs with parameters ((n^2+3n-1)^2,n^2(n+3),1,n(n+1)). All possible such graphs are: the lattice graph $L_{3,3}$ with parameters (9,4,1,2), the Brouwer-Haemers graph with…
In this paper we will show that there does not exist a distance-regular graph $\Gamma$ with intersection array $\{80, 54,12; 1, 6, 60\}$. We first show that a local graph $\Delta$ of $\Gamma$ does not contain a coclique with 5 vertices, and…
This thesis focuses on theoretical and algorithmic tools for determining the numbers of induced subgraphs in strongly regular graphs, SRGs, and on further applications of such numbers. We consider in more detail a restricted class of these…
We prove that a random cubic graph almost surely is not homomorphic to a cycle of size 7. This implies that there exist cubic graphs of arbitrarily high girth with no homomorphisms to the cycle of size 7.
In 2018 the first, Rukavina and the third author constructed with the aid of a computer the first example of a strongly regular graph $\Gamma$ with parameters (216, 40, 4, 8) and proved that it is the unique PSU(4,2)-invariant…
Strongly regular graphs are highly symmetrical and can be described fully with just a few parameters, yet the existence of many of them is still under the question. In this paper, we continue the study of the famuly of strongly regular…
We show that every 3-regular circle graph has at least two pairs of twin vertices; consequently no such graph is prime with respect to the split decomposition. We also deduce that up to isomorphism, K_4 and K_{3,3} are the only 3-connected,…
We exhibit a new construction of edge-regular graphs with regular cliques that are not strongly regular. The infinite family of graphs resulting from this construction includes an edge-regular graph with parameters $(24,8,2)$. We also show…
A Neumaier graph is a non-complete edge-regular graph containing a regular clique. In this paper we give some sufficient and necessary conditions for a Neumaier graph to be strongly regular. Further we show that there does not exist…
