A graph is weakly perfect if its clique number and chromatic number are equal. We show that the enhanced power graph of a finite group $G$ is weakly perfect: its clique number and chromatic number are equal to the maximum order of an…

The power graph denoted by $\mathcal{P}(\mathcal{G})$ of a finite group $\mathcal{G}$ is a graph with vertex set $\mathcal{G}$ and there is an edge between two distinct elements $u, v \in \mathcal{G}$ if and only if $u^m = v$ or $v^m = u$…

We define a class of finite groups based on the properties of the closed twins of their power graphs and study the structure of those groups. As a byproduct, we obtain results about finite groups admitting a partition by cyclic subgroups.

The undirected power graph (or simply power graph) of a group $G$, denoted by $P(G)$, is a graph whose vertices are the elements of the group $G$, in which two vertices $u$ and $v$ are adjacent if and only if either $u=v^m$ or $v=u^n$ for…

In this paper, we first characterize which generalized lexicographic products are divisor graphs. As applications, we show that power graphs, reduced power graphs and order graphs are all divisor graphs, which also implies the main result…

We characterise the form of all simple, finite graphs for which the girth of the graph is equal to the circumference of the graph. We apply this to prove a bound on the number of edges in such a graph.

In this paper we study prime graphs of finite groups. The prime graph of a finite group $G$, also known as the Gruenberg-Kegel graph, is the graph with vertex set {primes dividing $|G|$} and an edge $p$-$q$ if and only if there exists an…

In this article, various aspects of Laplacian spectra of power graphs of finite cyclic, dicyclic and finite $p$-groups are studied. Algebraic connectivity of power graphs of the above groups are considered and determined completely for that…

Let $G$ be a finite group. Define a graph on the set $G^{\#} = G \setminus \{ 1 \}$ by declaring distinct elements $x,y\in G^{\#}$ to be adjacent if and only if $\langle x,y\rangle$ is cyclic. Denote this graph by $\Delta(G)$. The graph…

Let $G$ be a finite group. The co-prime order graph of $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is $G$, and two distinct vertices $x,y$ are adjacent if gcd$(o(x),o(y))$ is either $1$ or a prime, where $o(x)$ and $o(y)$ are the orders of $x$ and…
