It has long been known that there exist finite connected tetravalent arc-transitive graphs with arbitrarily large vertex-stabilisers. However, beside a well known family of exceptional graphs, related to the lexicographic product of a cycle…

We show that any connected regular graph with $d+1$ distinct eigenvalues and odd-girth $2d+1$ is distance-regular, and in particular that it is a generalized odd graph.

A Neumaier graph is an edge-regular graph with a regular clique. Such a graph is said to have parameters $(v,k,\lambda;e,s)$ if it is a $k$-regular graph on $v$ vertices having a clique of size $s$ such that every edge is contained in…

Motivated by discrete Laplacian differential operators with various accuracy orders in numerical analysis, we introduce new matrices attached to a simple graph that can be considered graph Laplacians with higher accuracy. In particular, we…

The nullity of a graph is the multiplicity of the eigenvalues zero in its spectrum. A signed graph is a graph with a sign attached to each of its edges. In this paper, we obtain the coefficient theorem of the characteristic polynomial of a…

The principal ratio of a connected graph, denoted $\gamma(G)$, is the ratio of the maximum and minimum entries of its first eigenvector. Cioab\u{a} and Gregory conjectured that the graph on $n$ vertices maximizing $\gamma(G)$ is a kite…

We present an approach to enumerate graphs whose automorphism group has exactly two orbits. Our method exploits the observation that we can enumerate all graphs whose automorphism group contains a given this permutation group. We obtain the…

In this paper, we show that the eigenvalues of certain classes of Cayley graphs are integers. The (n,k,r)-arrangement graph A(n,k,r) is a graph with all the k-permutations of an n-element set as vertices where two k-permutations are…

A graph $X$ is said to be unstable if the direct product $X \times K_2$ (also called the canonical double cover of $X$) has automorphisms that do not come from automorphisms of its factors $X$ and $K_2$. It is nontrivially unstable if it is…
