We say that a sequence $a_1 \cdots a_{2t}$ of integers is repetitive if $a_i = a_{i+t}$ for every $i\in\{1,\ldots,t\}$. A walk in a graph $G$ is a sequence $v_1 \cdots v_r$ of vertices of $G$ in which $v_iv_{i+1}\in E(G)$ for every…

A graph is periodic if it can be obtained by joining identical pieces in a cyclic fashion. It is shown that the limit crossing number of a periodic graph is computable. This answers a question of Benny Pinontoan and Bruce Richter (2004).

For a graph $G$ and $p\in [0,1]$, let $G_p$ arise from $G$ by deleting every edge mutually independently with probability $1-p$. The random graph model $(K_n)_p$ is certainly the most investigated random graph model and also known as the…

Kontsevich designed a scheme to generate infinitesimal symmetries $\dot{\mathcal{P}} = \mathcal{Q}(\mathcal{P})$ of Poisson brackets $\mathcal{P}$ on all affine manifolds $M^r$; every such deformation is encoded by oriented graphs on $n+2$…

A skew morphism of a finite group $B$ is a permutation of $B$ fixing the identity and satisfying $\varphi(xy) = \varphi(x)\varphi^{i_x}(y)$ for some integers $i_x$ indexed by $x \in B$. The enumeration of skew morphisms of finite cyclic…

We consider the derangement graph in which the vertices are permutations of $\{ 1,\ldots, n\}$. Two vertices are joined by an edge if the corresponding permutations differ in every position. The derangement graph is known to be Hamiltonian…

We consider random sub-graphs of a fixed graph $G=(V,E)$ with large minimum degree. We fix a positive integer $k$ and let $G_k$ be the random sub-graph where each $v\in V$ independently chooses $k$ random neighbors, making $kn$ edges in…

An automorphism of a graph is called quasi-semiregular if it fixes a unique vertex of the graph and its remaining cycles have the same length. This kind of symmetry of graphs was first investigated by Kutnar, Malni\v{c}, Mart\'{i}nez and…

We formulate a notion of the quantum automorphism group of a $2$-graph. After some preliminary computations, we define quantum isomorphism between a pair of $2$-graphs. We produce a `non-trivial' example of a pair of $2$-graphs that are not…

Shelah Spencer [ShSp:304] proved the 0-1 law for the random graphs G(n,p_n), p_n=n^{- alpha}, alpha in (0,1) irrational (set of nodes in [n]= {1, ...,n}, the edges are drawn independently, probability of edge is p_n). One may wonder what…

In this paper we obtain the automorphism groups of the token graphs of some graphs. In particular we obtain the automorphism group of the $k$-token graph of the path graph $P_n$, for $n\neq 2k$. Also, we obtain the automorphism group of the…

Let $G$ be a finite non-cyclic group. The non-cyclic graph $\Gamma_G$ of $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is $G\setminus Cyc(G)$, two distinct vertices being adjacent if they do not generate a cyclic subgroup, where $Cyc(G)=\{a\in G:…

We address the following open problem, implicit in the 1990 article "Automorphisms of one-sided subshifts of finite type" of Boyle, Franks and Kitchens (BFK): "Does there exists an element $\psi$ in the group of automorphisms of the…

Let $S_n$ be a centered random walk with a finite variance, and define the new sequence $A_n:=\sum_{i=1}^n S_i$, which we call an integrated random walk. We are interested in the asymptotics of $$p_N:=P(\min_{1 \le k \le N} A_k \ge 0)$$ as…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is representable if there exists a word $W$ over the alphabet $V$ such that letters $x$ and $y$ alternate in $W$ if and only if $(x,y)\in E$ for each $x\neq y$. If $W$ is $k$-uniform (each letter of $W$ occurs exactly $k$…

The graph of overlapping permutations is defined in a way analogous to the De Bruijn graph on strings of symbols. That is, for every permutation $\pi = \pi_{1} \pi_{2} ... \pi_{n+1}$ there is a directed edge from the standardization of…

Let $k, d$ ($2d \leq k)$ be two positive integers. We generalize the well studied notions of $(k,d)$-colorings and of the circular chromatic number $\chi_c$ to signed graphs. This implies a new notion of colorings of signed graphs, and the…

We prove that an inseparable graph can have any positive number of cycles with the six exceptions 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 16, and that an inseparable cubic graph has the additional exceptions 1 and 13. The exceptions for simple inseparable cubic…

A path in an edge-colored graph is called a proper path if no two adjacent edges of the path are colored the same. For a connected graph $G$, the proper connection number $pc(G)$ of $G$ is defined as the minimum number of colors needed to…

An edge of a graph of order $n$ is pancyclic if it lies in a cycle of every length $3,\ldots,n$. A graph of order $n$ is vertex-pancyclic if every vertex lies in a cycle of every length $3,\ldots,n$. Recently, Li and Zhan proved that every…
