A signed graph $(G,\sigma)$ on $n$ vertices is called a \textit{parity signed graph} if there is a bijective mapping $f \colon V(G) \rightarrow \{1,\ldots,n\}$ such that $f(u)$ and $f(v)$ have same parity if $\sigma(uv)=1$, and opposite…

Sidorenko's conjecture states that the number of copies of a bipartite graph $H$ in a graph $G$ is asymptotically minimised when $G$ is a quasirandom graph. A notorious example where this conjecture remains open is when $H=K_{5,5}\setminus…

The notion of walk entropy $S^V(G,\beta)$ for a graph $G$ at the inverse temperature $\beta$ was put forward recently by Estrada et al. (2014) \cite{6}. It was further proved by Benzi \cite{1} that a graph is walk-regular if and only if its…

Quantum walks obey unitary dynamics: they form closed quantum systems. The system becomes open if the walk suffers from imperfections represented as missing links on the underlying basic graph structure, described by dynamical percolation.…

Clustering a signed graph means partitioning the vertices into sets ("clusters") so that every positive edge, and no negative edge, is within a cluster. Clustering is not always possible; the obstruction is circles with exactly one negative…

This paper concerns the long-term behaviour of a system of interacting random walks labeled by vertices of a finite graph. The model is reversible which allows to use the method of electric networks in the study. In addition, examples of…

Recently the collection $\cal G$ of all signed graphs for which the adjacency matrix has all but at most two eigenvalues equal to $\pm 1$ has been determined. Here we investigate $\cal G$ for cospectral pairs, and for signed graphs…

A signed graph is a graph whose edges are labeled either as positive or negative. The concept of vector valued switching and balancing dimension of signed graphs were introduced by S. Hameed et al. In this paper, we deal with the balancing…

A marked graph diagram is a link diagram possibly with marked $4$-valent vertices. S. J. Lomonaco, Jr. and K. Yoshikawa introduced a method of representing surface-links by marked graph diagrams. Specially, K. Yoshikawa gave local moves on…

We make advances towards a structural characterisation of the signed graphs $H$ for which the list switch $H$-colouring problem $\operatorname{LSwHom}(H)$ problem is polynomial time solvable. We conjecture a characterisation for signed…

In this paper the concept of circular $r$-flows in a mono-directed signed graph $(G, \sigma)$ is introduced. That is a pair $(D, f)$, where $D$ is an orientation on $G$ and $f: E(G)\to (-r,r)$ satisfies that $|f(e)|\in [1, r-1]$ for each…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group. Bridges and Mena characterized the Cayley graphs of $G$ that have only integer eigenvalues. Here we consider the $(0,1,-1)$ adjacency matrix of an oriented Cayley graph or of a signed Cayley graph $X$ on…

Zaslavsky conjectured the following: The minimum number of vertices to be deleted to restore balance in a subcubic signed graph is the same as the minimum number of edges to be deleted to restore balance. We prove this conjecture. Also, we…

The $k$-power hypergraph $G^{(k)}$ is the $k$-uniform hypergraph that is obtained by adding $k-2$ new vertices to each edge of a graph $G$, for $k \geq 3$. A parity-closed walk in $G$ is a closed walk that uses each edge an even number of…

A connected subgraph of a graph is isometric if it preserves distances. In this short note, we provide counterexamples to several variants of the following general question: When a graph $G$ is edge covered by connected isometric subgraphs…

I propose that most problems about circles (cycles, circuits) in ordinary graphs that have odd or even length find their proper setting in the theory of signed graphs, where each edge has a sign, $+$ or $-$. Even-circle and odd-circle…

Threshold tolerance graphs and their complement graphs, known as co-TT graphs, were introduced by Monma, Reed, and Trotter[24]. Building on this, Hell et al.[19] introduced the concept of negative interval. Then they proceeded to define…
