We consider symmetric powers of a graph. In particular, we show that the spectra of the symmetric square of strongly regular graphs with the same parameters are equal. We also provide some bounds on the spectra of the symmetric squares of…

Assume that $G$ is a finite group. For every $a, b \in\mathbb N,$ we define a graph $\Gamma_{a,b}(G)$ whose vertices correspond to the elements of $G^a\cup G^b$ and in which two tuples $(x_1,\dots,x_a)$ and $(y_1,\dots,y_b)$ are adjacent if…

For integer $k\geq2$ and prime power $q$, the algebraic bipartite graph $D(k,q)$ proposed by Lazebnik and Ustimenko (1995) is meaningful not only in extremal graph theory but also in coding theory and cryptography. This graph is…

The symplectic graph Sp(2d, q) is the collinearity graph of the symplectic space of dimension 2d over a finite field of order q. A k-regular graph on v vertices is a divisible design graph with parameters (v, k, lambda_1, lambda_2 ,m,n) if…

To a simple graph we associate a so-called graph series, which can be viewed as the Hilbert--Poincar\'e series of a certain infinite jet scheme. We study new $q$-representations and examine modular properties of several examples including…

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 $a_1<b_1=a_2<b_2=a_3<... <b_{n-1}=a_n<b_n$.…

In the $m$-dimensional affine space $AG(m,q)$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of odd order $q$, the analogous of the Euclidean distance gives rise to a graph $\mathfrak{G}_{m,q}$ where vertices are the points of $AG(m,q)$ and two…

For a nonnegative integer $k$, a graph $G$ is said to be $k$-factor-critical if $G-Q$ admits a perfect matching for any $Q\subseteq V(G)$ with $|Q|=k$. In this article, we prove spectral radius conditions for the existence of…

Let $A(G)$ be the adjacency matrix of a graph $G$ with $\lambda_{1}(G)$, $\lambda_{2}(G)$, ..., $\lambda_{n}(G)$ being its eigenvalues in non-increasing order. Call the number $S_k(G):=\sum_{i=1}^{n}\lambda_{i}^k(G) (k=0,1,...,n-1)$ the…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph of order $n$ and let $1\leq k< n$ be an integer. The $k$-token graph of $G$ is the graph whose vertices are all the $k$-subsets of $V$, two of which are adjacent whenever their symmetric difference is a pair of…

Given a finite vector space $V=\mathbb{F}_q^n$, the $q$-analogue of a graph, called a $q$-graph, is a pair $\Gamma=(\mathcal{V},\mathcal{E})$, where $\mathcal{V}$ is the set of $1$-dimensional subspaces of $V$ and $\mathcal{E}$ is a subset…

The power graph of a group $G$ is a simple and undirected graph with vertex set $G$ and two distinct vertices are adjacent if one is a power of the other. In this article, we characterize (non-cyclic) finite groups of prime exponent and…

A graph is $k$-planar if it can be drawn in the plane such that no edge is crossed more than $k$ times. While for $k=1$, optimal $1$-planar graphs, i.e., those with $n$ vertices and exactly $4n-8$ edges, have been completely characterized,…

Let $G$ be a connected graph. If $G$ contains a matching of size $k$, and every matching of size $k$ is contained in a perfect matching of $G$, then $G$ is said to be \emph{$k$-extendable}. A $k$-regular spanning subgraph of $G$ is called a…
