We produce an explicit family of totally real cyclic quartic polynomials that are monogenic in many cases and, if the $abc$ conjecture holds, generate distinct monogenic quartic fields infinitely often. Additional families (also…

We introduce a class of algebras over a field $\mathbb{F}$ related to directed graphs in which all edges are labeled by nonzero elements of the field $\mathbb{F}$. If all labels are different from $1$, these algebras are axial algebras. We…

Fiol has characterized quotient-polynomial graphs as precisely the connected graphs whose adjacency matrix generates the adjacency algebra of a symmetric association scheme. We show that a collection of non-negative integer parameters of…

Let $n$ be any positive integer, the friendship graph $F_n$ consist of $n$ edge-disjoint triangles that all of them meeting in one vertex. A graph $G$ is called cospectral with a graph $H$ if their adjacency matrices have the same…

Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and degree matrix $D(G)$, and let $L_\mu(G):=A(G)-\mu D(G)$. Two graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$ are called \emph{degree-similar} if there exists an invertible matrix $M$ such that $M^{-1} A(G_1) M…

Two simple undirected graphs are cospectral if their respective adjacency matrices have the same multiset of eigenvalues. Cospectrality yields an equivalence relation on the family of graphs which is provably weaker than isomorphism. In…

Let $G$ be a graph and $A$ the adjacency matrix of $G$. The permanental polynomial of $G$ is defined as $\mathrm{per}(xI-A)$. In this paper some of the results from a numerical study of the permanental polynomials of graphs are presented.…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite graph. For $v\in V$ we denote by $G_v$ the subgraph of $G$ that is induced by $v$'s neighbor set. We say that $G$ is $(a,b)$-regular for $a>b>0$ integers, if $G$ is $a$-regular and $G_v$ is $b$-regular for every…

In this article, we develop a perturbative technique to construct families of non-isomorphic discrete graphs which are isospectral for the standard (also called normalised) Laplacian and its signless version. We use vertex contractions as a…

A graph is $n$-e.c. ($n$-existentially closed) if for every pair of subsets $A, B$ of vertex set $V$ of the graph such that $A \cap B = \emptyset$ and $|A| + |B| = n$, there is a vertex $z$ not in $A \cup B$ joined to each vertex of $A$ and…

We examine the capacity of the complementarity spectrum to distinguish non-isomorphic digraphs. We focus on the seven families with exactly three complementarity eigenvalues. Our findings reveal that in some, but not all families, any two…

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) =…
