We investigate the structure of conformally rigid graphs. Graphs are conformally rigid if introducing edge weights cannot increase (decrease) the second (last) eigenvalue of the Graph Laplacian. Edge-transitive graphs and distance-regular…

A well--known fact in Spectral Graph Theory is the existence of pairs of isospectral nonisomorphic graphs (known as PINGS). The work of A.J. Schwenk (in 1973) and of C. Godsil and B. McKay (in 1982) shed some light on the explanation of the…

In this paper, we introduce a generalization of corona of graphs. This construction generalizes the generalized corona of graphs (consequently, the corona of graphs), the cluster of graphs, the corona-vertex subdivision graph of graphs and…

\emph{Zero forcing number}, $Z(G)$, of a graph $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a set $S$ of black vertices (whereas vertices in $V(G) \setminus S$ are colored white) such that $V(G)$ is turned black after finitely many applications of…

Chung, Graham and Wilson defined a set of graphs $\mathcal{H}$ to be forcing, if any sequence of graphs $\{G_n\}_{n \geq 0}$ with $|G_n| = n$ must be quasirandom, whenever $hom(H, G_n)= (p^{|E(H)|}+o(1))n^{|V(H)|}$ for every $H \in…

Connections between vital linkages and zero forcing are established. Specifically, the notion of a rigid linkage is introduced as a special kind of unique linkage and it is shown that spanning forcing paths of a zero forcing process form a…

For an $n$-vertex graph $G$, let $z(G;k)$ denote the number of zero forcing sets of size $k$. A conjecture of Boyer et al. asserts that the path $P_n$ maximizes these numbers coefficientwise among all $n$-vertex graphs; equivalently, the…

Let $G$ be a finite group. The \textit{commuting/nilpotent/solvable conjugacy class graph} ($\Gamma_{CCC}(G)$, $\Gamma_{NCC}(G)$, or $\Gamma_{SCC}(G)$) is a simple graph whose vertex set consists of all non-central conjugacy classes of $G$.…

A graph is regularizable if it is possible to assign weights to its edges so that all nodes have the same degree. Weights can be positive, nonnegative or arbitrary as soon as the regularization degree is not null. Positive and nonnegative…
