Let $S=K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field $K$ and $I\subset S$ be a squarefree monomial ideal generated in degree $n-2$. Motivated by the remarkable behavior of the powers of $I$ when $I$ admits a linear resolution, as…

In this paper, we classify connected amply regular graphs with diameter $d \geq 4$ and parameters $(v, k, \lambda, \mu)$ satisfying $\mu = \frac{k-1}{2}$, where $k\geq 5$ is odd. We prove that such a graph must be exactly one of the…

Let $R$ be a ring with unity. The graph $\Gamma(R)$ is a graph with vertices as elements of $R$, where two distinct vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent if and only if $Ra+Rb=R$. Let $\Gamma_2(R)$ is the subgraph of $\Gamma(R)$ induced by the…

The $G$-graph $\Gamma(G,S)$ is a graph from the group $G$ generated by $S\subseteq G$, where the vertices are the right cosets of the cyclic subgroups $\langle s \rangle, s\in S$ with $k$-edges between two distinct cosets if there is an…

A graph $G$ is pseudo 2-factor isomorphic if the parity of the number of cycles in a 2-factor is the same for all 2-factors of $G$. Abreu et al. conjectured that $K_{3,3}$, the Heawood graph and the Pappus graph are the only essentially…

Let $R$ be a finite ring and $r\in R$. The $r$-noncommuting graph of $R$, denoted by $\Gamma_R^r$, is a simple undirected graph whose vertex set is $R$ and two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $[x,y] \neq r$ and $-r$. In…

In an earlier work, finite groups whose power graphs are minimally edge connected have been classified. In this article, first we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for an arbitrary graph to be minimally edge connected.…

A result of Erd\"os and R\'enyi shows that for a fixed integer n almost all graphs satisfy the n-e.c. adjacency property. However, there are few explicit constructions of n e.c. graphs for n > 2, and almost all known families of n-e.c.…

Let $\alpha(G)$ denote the cardinality of a maximum independent set, while $\mu(G)$ be the size of a maximum matching in $G=\left( V,E\right) $. It is known that if $\alpha(G)+\mu(G)=\left\vert V\right\vert $, then $G$ is a…

For a graph $\Gamma=(V\Gamma,E\Gamma)$, a subset $D$ of $V\Gamma$ is a perfect code in $\Gamma$ if every vertex of $\Gamma$ is dominated by exactly one vertex in $D$. In this paper, we classify all connected quartic Cayley graphs on…

We study a generalization of strongly regular graphs. We call a graph strongly walk-regular if there is an $\ell >1$ such that the number of walks of length $\ell$ from a vertex to another vertex depends only on whether the two vertices are…

Given a finite, simple, connected graph $G=(V,E)$ with $|V|=n$, we consider the associated graph Laplacian matrix $L = D - A$ with eigenvalues $0 = \lambda_1 < \lambda_2 \leq \dots \leq \lambda_n$. One can also consider the same graph…

A graph $\Gamma$ is $k$-connected-homogeneous ($k$-CH) if $k$ is a positive integer and any isomorphism between connected induced subgraphs of order at most $k$ extends to an automorphism of $\Gamma$, and connected-homogeneous (CH) if this…

Graphs defined over a finite ring are well-studied in the literature. Due to their nature, these types of graphs connect several branches of mathematics, including algebra, number theory, matrix theory, and representation theory. In recent…
