The line graph of a graph with signed edges carries vertex signs. A vertex-signed graph is consistent if every circle (cycle, circuit) has positive vertex-sign product. Acharya, Acharya, and Sinha recently characterized line-consistent…
Signed graphs, which are characterized by both positive and negative edge weights, have recently attracted significant attention in the field of graph signal processing (GSP). Existing works on signed graph learning typically assume that…
We survey known results related to nowhere-zero flows and related topics, such as circuit covers and the structure of circuits of signed graphs. We include an overview of several different definitions of signed graph colouring.
Recently the Ihara zeta function for the finite graph was extended to infinite one by Clair and Chinta et al. In this paper, we obtain the same expressions by a different approach from their analytical method. Our new approach is to take a…
In this paper, we mainly discuss the representations of closed graph manifolds to the Seifert motion group. Then we prove that there exist graph manifolds virtually having no faithful representations to the Seifert motion group.
In the paper "Broersma and Hoede, {\it Path graphs}, J. Graph Theory {\bf 13} (1989) 427-444", the authors proposed a problem whether there is a triple of mutually nonisomorphic connected graphs which have an isomorphic connected…
Let $G$ be a graph and let $A(G)$ be the adjacency matrix of $G$. The signature $s(G)$ of $G$ is the difference between the positive inertia index and the negative inertia index of $A(G)$. Ma et al. [Positive and negative inertia index of a…
We derive an exact closed-form analytical expression for the distribution of the cover time for a random walk over an arbitrary graph. In special case, we derive simplified exact expressions for the distributions of cover time for a…
Consider a family $\mathcal F$ of $C_{2r+1}$-free graphs, where $r\geq 2$. Suppose that each graph in $\mathcal F$ has minimum degree linear in its number of vertices. Thomassen showed that such a family has bounded chromatic number, or,…
Recently, random walks on dynamic graphs have been studied because of their adaptivity to the time-varying structure of real-world networks. In general, there is a tremendous gap between static and dynamic graph settings for the lazy simple…
A graph is said to be walk-regular if, for each $\ell \geq 1$, every vertex is contained in the same number of closed walks of length $\ell$. We construct a $24$-vertex graph $H_4$ that is not walk-regular yet has maximized walk entropy,…
A $t$-walk-regular graph is a graph for which the number of walks of given length between two vertices depends only on the distance between these two vertices, as long as this distance is at most $t$. Such graphs generalize distance-regular…
We introduce (weak) oddomorphisms of graphs which are homomorphisms with additional constraints based on parity. These maps turn out to have interesting properties (e.g., they preserve planarity), particularly in relation to homomorphism…
A graph is closed when its vertices have a labeling by [n] with a certain property first discovered in the study of binomial edge ideals. In this article, we explore various aspects of closed graphs, including the number of closed labelings…
In this paper, we define k-equivalence, a relation on graphs that relies on their associated cellular algebras. We show that a k-Boson quantum walk cannot distinguish pairs of graphs that are k- equivalent. The existence of pairs of…
A signed graph $G$ is a graph where each edge is assigned a + (positive edge) or a - (negative edge). The signed degree of a vertex $v$ in a signed graph, denoted by $sdeg(v)$, is the number of positive edges incident to $v$ subtracted by…
In this paper, we deal with the signed bad number and the negative decision number of graphs. We show that two upper bounds concerning these two parameters for bipartite graphs in papers [Discrete Math. Algorithms Appl. 1 (2011), 33--41]…
Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V=\{v_{1},\dots,v_{n}\}$ and adjacency matrix $A.$ For a subset $S$ of $V$ let $\e=(x_{1},\,\dots,\,x_{n})^{\tt T}$ be the characteristic vector of $S,$ that is, $x_{\ell}=1$ if $v_{\ell}\in S$ and…
A new complete invariant for acyclic graphs is presented
The simplest way to make a dynamical system out of a finite connected graph $G$ is to give it a polarization, that is to say a cyclic ordering of the edges incident to a vertex, for each vertex. The phase space $\mathcal{P}(G)$ then…
