We study rotation $r$-graphs and show that for every $r$-graph $G$ of odd regularity there is a simple rotation $r$-graph $G'$ such that $G$ can be obtained form $G'$ by a finite number of $2$-cut reductions. As a consequence, some hard…
The strong geodetic number, $\text{sg}(G),$ of a graph $G$ is the smallest number of vertices such that by fixing one geodesic between each pair of selected vertices, all vertices of the graph are covered. In this paper, the study of the…
We classify all regular polyhedra according to their type i.e., the collection of numbers of common neighbours that any pair of distinct vertices may have (polyhedra are planar, $3$-connected graphs). As an application, we recover the…
Given a graph $G$ with vertices $\{v_1,\ldots,v_n\}$, we define $\mathcal{S}(G)$ to be the set of symmetric matrices $A=[a_{i,j}]$ such that for $i\ne j$ we have $a_{i,j}\ne 0$ if and only if $v_iv_j\in E(G)$. Motivated by the Graph…
Rigidity, arising in discrete geometry, is the property of a structure that does not flex. Laman provides a combinatorial characterization of rigid graphs in the Euclidean plane, and thus rigid graphs in the Euclidean plane have…
We propose a Law of Nature? Viz., Pure Regularity Occurs at Na\"ive Levels and Regularity has Affinity with Evenness. In a series of three papers, it was established that regular Euler graphs with only one type of (pure) cycles are…
The irregularity strength of a graph $G$, $s(G)$, is the least $k$ such that there exists a $\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$-weighting of the edges of $G$ attributing distinct weighted degrees to all vertices, or equivalently the least $k$ enabling…
We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of Eulerian circuits for graphs with strong mixing properties and with vertices having even degrees. The exact value is determined up to the multiplicative error $O(n^{-1/2+\varepsilon})$, where…
Let $H(n, q^2)$ be a non-degenerate Hermitian variety of $PG(n, q^2)$, $n \ge 2$. Let NU$(n+1, q^2)$ be the graph whose vertices are the points of $PG(n, q^2) \setminus H(n, q^2)$ and two vertices $P_1$, $P_2$ are adjacent if the line…
Haemers conjectures that almost all graphs are determined by their spectra. Suppose $G \sim \mathcal{G}(n, p)$ is a random graph with each edge chosen independently with probability $p$ with $0 < p < 1$. Then $$\Pr(G \text{ is not…
The purpose of this paper is to characterize graphs that do not have a large $K_{2,n}$-minor. As corollaries, it is proved that, for any given positive integer $n$, every sufficiently large 3-connected graph with minimum degree at least…
The triangle-degree of a vertex v of a simple graph G is the number of triangles in G that contain v. A simple graph is triangle-distinct if all its vertices have distinct triangle-degrees. Berikkyzy et al. [Discrete Math. 347 (2024)…
Planar graphs can be represented as intersection graphs of different types of geometric objects in the plane, e.g., circles (Koebe, 1936), line segments (Chalopin \& Gon{\c{c}}alves, 2009), \textsc{L}-shapes (Gon{\c{c}}alves et al, 2018).…
In 1973, Chv\'{a}tal introduced the concept of toughness $\tau$ of a graph and constructed an infinite class of nonhamiltonian graphs with $\tau=3/2$. Later Thomassen found nonhamiltonian graphs with $\tau>3/2$, and Enomoto et al.…
A \emph{complete geometric graph} consists of a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane, in general position, and all segments (edges) connecting them. It is a well known question of Bose, Hurtado, Rivera-Campo, and Wood, whether there exists a…
In this article, we provide an explicit constant $C$ such that there is no regular ternary sum of generalized $m$-gonal numbers for any integer $m$ greater than $C$.
In 2022, the second author found a prolific construction of strongly regular graphs, which is based on joining a coclique and a divisible design graph with certain parameters. The construction produces strongly regular graphs with the same…
A graph is {\em perfect} if, in all its induced subgraphs, the size of a largest clique is equal to the chromatic number. Examples of perfect graphs include bipartite graphs, line graphs of bipartite graphs and the complements of such…
A Neumaier graph is a non-complete edge-regular graph containing a regular clique. In this work, we prove several results on the existence of small strictly Neumaier graphs. In particular, we present a theoretical proof of the uniqueness of…
The Conway-99 problem questions the existence of a strongly regular graph with 99 vertices and specific parameters. A \textit{strongly} regular graph is a regular graph that exhibits two additional properties: vertices must share a fixed…
