For integers $k \geq 2$ and $n \geq k+1$, we prove the following: If $n\cdot k$ is even, there is a connected $k$-regular graph on $n$ vertices. If $n\cdot k$ is odd, there is a connected nearly $k$-regular graph on $n$ vertices.

In an earlier paper, the authors considered three types of graphs, and three equivalence relations, defined on a group, viz.\ the power graph, enhanced power graph, and commuting graph, and the relations of equality, conjugacy, and same…

The line graph $\Gamma$ of a multi-graph $\Delta$ is the graph whose vertices are the edges of $\Delta$, where two such edges are adjacent if and only if they meet in a single vertex of $\Delta$. We provide several characterizations of such…

We consider a dynamical system on a metric graph, that corresponds to a semiclassical solution of a time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation. We omit all details concerning mathematical physics and work with a purely discrete problem. We find…

A graph $X$ is said to be a pattern polynomial graph if its adjacency algebra is a coherent algebra. In this study we will find a necessary and sufficient condition for a graph to be a pattern polynomial graph. Some of the properties of the…

A permutation graph can be defined as an intersection graph of segments whose endpoints lie on two parallel lines $l_1$ and $l_2$, one on each. A bipartite permutation graph is a permutation graph which is bipartite. In this paper we study…

We introduce and study a new graph representation where vertices are embedded in three or more dimensions, and in which the edges are drawn on the projections onto the axis-parallel planes. We show that the complete graph on $n$ vertices…

A signed graph $\Gamma$ is said to be determined by its spectrum if every signed graph with the same spectrum as $\Gamma$ is switching isomorphic with $\Gamma$. Here it is proved that the path $P_n$, interpreted as a signed graph, is…

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,…

An $r$-graph is an $r$-regular graph where every odd set of vertices is connected by at least $r$ edges to the rest of the graph. Seymour conjectured that any $r$-graph is $r+1$-edge-colorable, and also that any $r$-graph contains $2r$…

We investigate properties which ensure that a given finite graph is the commuting graph of a group or semigroup. We show that all graphs on at least two vertices such that no vertex is adjacent to all other vertices is the commuting graph…

We study the graphs generated when the formula for linking Markov triples is applied to general triples of integers. We find there are a finite number of equivalence classes of graphs, each with particular properties.

We find a formula for the number of permutations of $[n]$ that have exactly $s$ runs up and down. The formula is at once terminating, asymptotic, and exact.

Permutation Matrices are a well known class of matrices which encode the elements of the symmetric group on $d$ elements as a square $d\times d$ matrix. Motivated by [4], we define a similar class of matrices which are a generalization of…

A fullerene graph is a planar cubic 3-connected graph with only pentagonal and hexagonal faces. We show that fullerene graphs have exponentially many perfect matchings.

We characterise the quintic (i.e. 5-regular) multigraphs with the property that every edge lies in a triangle. Such a graph is either from a set of small graphs or is formed by adding a perfect matching to a line graph of a cubic graph as…

The 3-Decomposition Conjecture states that every connected cubic graph can be decomposed into a spanning tree, a 2-regular subgraph and a matching. We show that this conjecture holds for the class of connected plane cubic graphs.

In this work, we define an orthogonal graph on the set of equivalence classes of $(2\nu + \delta)-$tuples over $\mathbb{Z}_{2^n}$ where $n$ and $\nu$ are positive integers and $\delta = 0, 1$ or $2$. We classify our graph if it is strongly…

Two signed graphs are called switching isomorphic if one of them is isomorphic to a switching equivalent of the other. To determine the number of switching non-isomorphic signed graphs on a specific graph, we will establish a method based…

In this article, we discuss when one can extend an r-regular graph to an r + 1 regular by adding edges. Different conditions on the num- ber of vertices n and regularity r are developed. We derive an upper bound of r, depending on n, for…
