In 1976, Delsarte introduced the notion of $q$-analogs of designs, and $q$-analogs of graphs were introduced recently by M. Braun et al. In this paper, we extend that study by giving a method for constructing transitive regular $q$-analogs…
We study pseudo-geometric strongly regular graphs whose second subconstituent with respect to a vertex is a cover of a strongly regular graph or a complete graph. By studying the structure of such graphs, we characterize all graphs…
We introduce quantum association schemes. This allows to define distance regular and strongly regular quantum graphs. We bring examples thereof. In addition, we formulate the duality for translation quantum association schemes corresponding…
We give two constructions of strongly regular Cayley graphs on finite fields $\F_q$ by using union of cyclotomic classes and index 2 Gauss sums. In particular, we obtain twelve infinite families of strongly regular graphs with new…
We describe a general construction of strongly regular graphs from the collinearity graph of a finite classical polar spaces of rank at least $3$ over a finite field of order $q$. We show that these graphs are non-isomorphic to the…
The connection between q-analogs of special functions and representations of quantum algebras has been developed recently. It has led to advances in the theory of q-special functions that we here review.
In this article we construct a series of new infinite families of strongly regular graphs with the same parameters as the point-graphs of non-singular quadrics in PG(n,2).
We give a construction of strongly regular Cayley graphs on finite fields $\F_q$ by using union of cyclotomic classes and index 4 Gauss sums. In particular, we obtain two infinite families of strongly regular graphs with new parameters.
Let $k\ge 3$ be an integer, $q$ be a prime power, and $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the field of $q$ elements. Let $f_i, g_i\in\mathbb{F}_q[X]$, $3\le i\le k$, such that $g_i(-X) = -\, g_i(X)$. We define a graph $S(k,q) =…
The $q$-analogs of basic designs are discussed. It is proved that the existence of any unknown Steiner structures, the $q$-analogs of Steiner systems, implies the existence of unknown Steiner systems. Optimal $q$-analogs covering designs…
The paper provides the first constructions of strongly regular graphs and association schemes from weakly regular plateaued functions over finite fields of odd characteristic. We generalize the construction method of strongly regular graphs…
A new $q$-analogue of Appell polynomial sequences and their generalizations are introduced and their main characterizations are proved. As consequences new $q$-analogue of Bernoulli and Euler polynomials and numbers is introduced, their…
Recent advances in Quantum Topology assign $q$-series to knots in at least three different ways. The $q$-series are given by generalized Nahm sums (i.e., special $q$-hypergeometric sums) and have unknown modular and asymptotic properties.…
A new family of strongly regular graphs, called the general symplectic graphs $Sp(2\nu, q)$, associated with nonsingular alternate matrices is introduced. Their parameters as strongly regular graphs, their chromatic numbers as well as their…
In the $m$-dimensional affine space $AG(m,q)$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of odd order $q$, the analogous of the Euclidean distance gives rise to a graph $\mathfrak{G}_{m,q}$ where vertices are the points of $AG(m,q)$ and two…
We give variants of the Krein bound and the absolute bound for graphs with a spectrum similar to that of a strongly regular graph. In particular, we investigate what we call approximately strongly regular graphs. We apply our results to…
In this paper we unify several existing regularity conditions for graphs, including strong regularity, $k$-isoregularity, and the $t$-vertex condition. We develop an algebraic composition/decomposition theory of regularity conditions. Using…
The classical $q$-analogue of the integers was recently generalized by Morier-Genoud and Ovsienko to give $q$-analogues of rational numbers. Some combinatorial interpretations are already known, namely as the rank generating functions for…
The graph $G$ is said to be strongly regular with parameters $(n,k,\lambda,\mu)$ if the following conditions hold: (1) each vertex has $k$ neighbours; (2) any two adjacent vertices of $G$ have $\lambda$ common neighbours; (3) any two…
In \cite{M18}, the first author gave a construction of strongly regular Cayley graphs on the additive group of finite fields by using three-valued Gauss periods. In particular, together with the result in \cite{BLMX}, it was shown that…
