The existence of $1$-factorizations of an infinite complete equipartite graph $K_m[n]$ (with $m$ parts of size $n$) admitting a vertex-regular automorphism group $G$ is known only when $n=1$ and $m$ is countable (that is, for countable…

We prove that if Cay(G;S) is a connected Cayley graph with n vertices, and the prime factorization of n is very small, then Cay(G;S) has a hamiltonian cycle. More precisely, if p, q, and r are distinct primes, then n can be of the form kp…

Extremal problems on the $4$-cycle $C_4$ played a heuristic important role in the development of extremal graph theory. A fundamental theorem of F\"uredi states that the Tur\'an number $ex(q^2+q+1, C_4)\leq \frac12 q(q+1)^2$ holds for every…

A $1-$factorization of a complete graph on $2n$ vertices is said to be $G-$regular if it posseses an automorphism group $G$ acting sharply transitively on the vertex-set. The problem of determining which groups can realize such a situation…

The energy of a graph is the sum of the absolute values of its adjacency eigenvalues. For integral circulant graphs $\ICG(n,\mathcal{D})$ of order $n=p^2q^3$, where $p$ and $q$ are distinct odd primes, we prove that the adjacency…

A graph $G$ is $1$-extendible if every edge belongs to at least one $1$-factor of $G$. Let $G$ be a graph with a $1$-factor $F$. Then an even $F$-orientation of $G$ is an orientation in which each $F$-alternating cycle has exactly an even…

For integers $r,t\geq2$ and $n\geq1$ let $f_r(t,n)$ be the minimum, over all factorizations of the complete $r$-uniform hypergraph of order $n$ into $t$ factors $H_1,\dots,H_t$, of $\sum_{i=1}^tc(H_i)$ where $c(H_i)$ is the number of…

For integer $k\geq2$ and prime power $q$, the algebraic bipartite graph $D(k,q)$ proposed by Lazebnik and Ustimenko (1995) is meaningful not only in extremal graph theory but also in coding theory and cryptography. This graph is…

For an odd integer $k$, let $\mathcal{C}_k = \{C_3,C_5,...,C_k\}$ denote the family of all odd cycles of length at most $k$ and let $\mathcal{C}$ denote the family of all odd cycles. Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits \cite{ESi1} conjectured that for…

Let $\mathcal{F}=\{F_{\alpha}: \alpha\in \mathcal{A}\}$ be a family of infinite graphs, together with $\Lambda$. The Factorization Problem $FP(\mathcal{F}, \Lambda)$ asks whether $\mathcal{F}$ can be realized as a factorization of…

In this paper, we study a special kind of factorization of $x^n+1$ over $\mathbb{F}_q, $ with $q$ a prime power $\equiv 3~({\rm mod}~4)$ when $n=2p,$ with $p\equiv 3~({\rm mod}~4)$ and $p$ is a prime. Given such a $q$ infinitely many such…

We study the problem of finding homomorphisms into odd cycles from planar graphs with high odd-girth. The Jaeger-Zhang conjecture states that every planar graph of odd-girth at least $4k+1$ admits a homomorphism to the odd cycle $C_{2k+1}$.…

In this paper, we explore the concept of the ``matrix product of graphs," initially introduced by Prasad, Sudhakara, Sujatha, and M. Vinay. This operation involves the multiplication of adjacency matrices of two graphs with assigned labels,…

It is proven that for any integer $g \ge 0$ and $k \in \{ 0, \ldots, 10 \}$, there exist infinitely many 5-regular graphs of genus $g$ containing a 1-factorisation with exactly $k$ pairs of 1-factors that are perfect, i.e. form a…

We give a general construction leading to different non-isomorphic families $\Gamma_{n,q}(\K)$ of connected $q$-regular semisymmetric graphs of order $2q^{n+1}$ embedded in $\PG(n+1,q)$, for a prime power $q=p^h$, using the linear…

In this paper we investigate some basic properties of fractional powers. In this regard, we show that for any rational number $1\leq {2r+1\over 2s+1}< og(G)$, $G^{{2r+1\over 2s+1}}\longrightarrow H$ if and only if $G\longrightarrow…

Consider factorizations into transpositions of an n-cycle in the symmetric group S_n. To every such factorization we assign a monomial in variables w_{ij} that retains the transpositions used, but forgets their order. Summing over all…

We introduce the combinatorial notion of a $q$-fatorization graph intended as a tool to study and express results related to the classification of prime simple modules for quantum affine algebras. These are directed graphs equipped with…

Let $G$ be a finite group. We show that if $|G| = pqrs$, where $p$, $q$, $r$, and $s$ are distinct odd primes, then every connected Cayley graph on $G$ has a hamiltonian cycle.

We give a self-contained proof that for all positive integers $r$ and all $\epsilon > 0$, there is an integer $N = N(r, \epsilon)$ such that for all $n \ge N$ any regular multigraph of order $2n$ with multiplicity at most $r$ and degree at…
