Let $Q$ be a subset of a finite distributive lattice $D$. An algebra $A$ represents the inclusion $Q\subseteq D$ by principal congruences if the congruence lattice of $A$ is isomorphic to $D$ and the ordered set of principal congruences of…

We introduce the concept of a family of finite directed graphs (\emph{positive integer order,} $f(x) = mx + c; x,m \in \Bbb N$ and $c \in \Bbb N_0)$ which are directed graphs derived from an infinite directed graph called the $f(x)$-root…

The arithmetic of N, Z, Q, R can be extended to a graph arithmetic where N is the semiring of finite simple graphs and where Z and Q are integral domains, culminating in a Banach algebra R. A single network completes to the Wiener algebra.…

Let $q$ be a prime power such that $q\equiv 1\pmod{4}$. The Paley graph of order $q$ is the graph with vertex set as the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ and edges defined as, $ab$ is an edge if and only if $a-b$ is a non-zero square in…

Let \( D \) be a strongly connected digraph. The average distance of a vertex \( v \) in \( D \) is defined as the arithmetic mean of the distances from \( v \) to all other vertices in \( D \). The remoteness \( \rho(D) \) of \( D \) is…

We give a new proof of the theorem of Boesch-Tindell and Farzad-Mahdian-Mahmoodian-Saberi-Sadri that a directed graph extends to a strongly connected digraph on the same vertex set if and only if it has no complete directed cut. Our proof…

There are a variety of ways to associate directed or undirected graphs to a group. It may be interesting to investigate the relations between the structure of these graphs and characterizing certain properties of the group in terms of some…

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…

We show that the Voronoi cells of the lattice of integer flows of a finite connected graph $G$ in the quadratic vector space of real valued flows have the following very precise combinatorics: the face poset of a Voronoi cell is isomorphic…

Let $D=(V,A)$ be a digraph and $\mathfrak{S}$ a partition of $V(D)$. We say that $\mathfrak{S}$ is a strong in-domatic partition if every $S$ in $\mathfrak{S}$ holds that every vertex not in $S$ has at least one out-neighbor in $S$, that is…

Let \Delta be a finite building (or, more generally, a thick spherical and locally finite building). The chamber graph G(\Delta), whose edges are the pairs of adjacent chambers in \Delta, is known to be q-regular for a certain number…

For a simple graph $G$, the $2$-distance graph, $D_2(G)$, is a graph with the vertex set $V(G)$ and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance is $2$ in the graph $G$. In this paper, we characterize all graphs with connected…

A digraph $D=(V,A)$ has a good decomposition if $A$ has two disjoint sets $A_1$ and $A_2$ such that both $(V,A_1)$ and $(V,A_2)$ are strong. Let $T$ be a digraph with $t$ vertices $u_1,\dots , u_t$ and let $H_1,\dots H_t$ be digraphs such…

Diophantine tuples are of ancient and modern interest, with a huge literature. In this paper we study Diophantine graphs, i.e., finite graphs whose vertices are distinct positive integers, and two vertices are linked by an edge if and only…

We use finite incident structures to construct new infinite families of directed strongly regular graphs with parameters \[(l(q-1)q^l,\ l(q-1)q^{l-1},\ (lq-l+1)q^{l-2},\ (l-1)(q-1)q^{l-2},\ (lq-l+1)q^{l-2})\] for integers $q$ and $l$ ($q,…

Let D be a strongly connected digraph and A(D) be the adjacency matrix of D. Let diag(D) be the diagonal matrix with outdegrees of the vertices of D and Q(D) = diag(D) + A(D) be the signless Laplacian matrix of D. The spectral radius of…

Let $D$ be a strongly connected digraph. The average distance $\bar{\sigma}(v)$ of a vertex $v$ of $D$ is the arithmetic mean of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices of $D$. The remoteness $\rho(D)$ and proximity $\pi(D)$ of $D$ are…

A finite dynamical system with $n$ components is a function $f:X\to X$ where $X=X_1\times\dots\times X_n$ is a product of $n$ finite intervals of integers. The structure of such a system $f$ is represented by a signed digraph $G$, called…

We characterise all vertex-transitive finite connected graphs as essentially 5-connected or on a short list of explicit graph-classes. Our proof heavily uses Tutte-type canonical decompositions.

Given a finite group $G,$ we denote by $\Delta(G)$ the graph whose vertices are the elements $G$ and where two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if there exists a minimal generating set of $G$ containing $x$ and $y.$ We prove that…
