An axis-parallel $d$-dimensional box is a cartesian product $I_1\times I_2\times \dots \times I_b$ where $I_i$ is a closed sub-interval of the real line. For a graph $G = (V,E)$, the $boxicity \ of \ G$, denoted by $\text{box}(G)$, is the…

We study quantum advantage in one-step rendezvous games on simple graphs analytically, numerically, and using noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) processors. Our protocols realise the recently discovered [arXiv:2207.14404] optimal…

Denote by $q_n(G)$ the smallest eigenvalue of the signless Laplacian matrix of an $n$-vertex graph $G$. Brandt conjectured in 1997 that for regular triangle-free graphs $q_n(G) \leq \frac{4n}{25}$. We prove a stronger result: If $G$ is a…

Let $A(G)$ be the adjacency matrix of a graph $G$ with $\lambda_{1}(G)$, $\lambda_{2}(G)$, ..., $\lambda_{n}(G)$ being its eigenvalues in non-increasing order. Call the number $S_k(G):=\sum_{i=1}^{n}\lambda_{i}^k(G) (k=0,1,...,n-1)$ the…

For a simple graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges and signless Laplacian eigenvalues $q_{1} \geq q_{2} \geq \cdots \geq q_{n} \geq 0$, its the signless Laplacian energy $QE(G)$ is defined as $QE(G) = \sum_{i=1}^{n}|q_{i} - \bar{d} |$,…

We present an exact analytical solution of the spectral problem of quasi one-dimensional scaling quantum graphs. Strongly stochastic in the classical limit, these systems are frequently employed as models of quantum chaos. We show that…

Let $Q^{+}(2n-1,2)$ be a non-degenerate hyperbolic quadric of $PG(2n-1,2)$. Let $NO^{+}(2n,2)$ be the tangent graph, whose vertices are the points of $PG(2n-1,2) \setminus Q^{+}(2n-1,2)$ and two vertices $u,~v$ are adjacent if the line…

The hypercube Q_n is the graph whose vertex set is {0,1}^n and where two vertices are adjacent if they differ in exactly one coordinate. For any subgraph H of the cube, let ex(Q_n, H) be the maximum number of edges in a subgraph of Q_n…

On the n x n chessboard, the move totals of distinct pieces satisfy a small number of striking arithmetic identities. The total diagonal mobility of the bishop and the total 8-neighbor mobility of the king are exactly proportional, with…

Let $H(n, q^2)$ be a non-degenerate Hermitian variety of $PG(n, q^2)$, $n \ge 2$. Let NU$(n+1, q^2)$ be the graph whose vertices are the points of $PG(n, q^2) \setminus H(n, q^2)$ and two vertices $P_1$, $P_2$ are adjacent if the line…

A numerical semigroup $S$ is an additively-closed set of non-negative integers, and a factorization of an element $n$ of $S$ is an expression of $n$ as a sum of generators of $S$. It is known that for a given numerical semigroup $S$, the…

We review quantum chaos on graphs. We construct a unitary operator which represents the quantum evolution on the graph and study its spectral and wavefunction statistics. This operator is the analogue of the classical evolution operator on…

Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$. The domination polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial $D(G, x)=\sum_{i=1}^n d(G,i) x^i$, where $d(G,i)$ is the number of dominating sets of $G$ of size $i$. The $n$-barbell graph $Bar_n$ with $2n$…

In this note, we prove some combinatorial identities and obtain a simple form of the eigenvalues of $q$-Kneser graphs.

In this article we investigate normalized adjacency eigenvalues (simply normalized eigenvalues) and normalized adjacency energy of connected threshold graphs. A threshold graph can always be represented as a unique binary string. Certain…

We develop a full characterization of abelian quantum statistics on graphs. We explain how the number of anyon phases is related to connectivity. For 2-connected graphs the independence of quantum statistics with respect to the number of…

We consider the problem of placing $n$ nonattacking queens on a symmetric $n \times n$ Toeplitz matrix. As in the $N$-queens Problem on a chessboard, two queens may attack each other if they share a row or a column in the matrix. However,…

In this paper we deal with two aspects of the minimum rank of a simple undirected graph $G$ on $n$ vertices over a finite field $\FF_q$ with $q$ elements, which is denoted by $\mr(\FF_q,G)$. In the first part of this paper we show that the…

The energy levels of a quantum graph with time reversal symmetry and unidirectional classical dynamics are doubly degenerate and obey the spectral statistics of the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble. These degeneracies, however, are lifted when the…

Properties of graphs that can be characterized by the spectrum of the adjacency matrix of the graph have been studied systematically recently. Motivated by the complexity of these properties, we show that there are such properties for which…
