A subset $X$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a {\em diameter 2 subset} if the distance of any two vertices of $X$ is at most two {\em in $G[X]$}. Relaxing this notion, a subset $X$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a {\em 2-reachable subset} if…

For a graph $G = (V, E)$, the $\gamma$-graph of $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is the collection of minimum dominating sets, or $\gamma$-sets of $G$, and two $\gamma$-sets are adjacent if they differ by a single vertex and the two…

We start up the study of the stability of general graph pairs. This notion is a generalization of the concept of the stability of graphs. We say that a pair of graphs $(\Gamma,\Sigma)$ is stable if $Aut(\Gamma\times\Sigma) \cong…

The spectral excess theorem for distance-regular graphs states that a regular (connected) graph is distance-regular if and only if its spectral-excess equals its average excess. A bipartite graph is distance-biregular when it is…

For a group $G$ and a subset $X$ of $G$, the commuting graph of $X$, denoted by $\Gamma(G,X)$ is the graph whose vertex set is $X$ and any two vertices $u$ and $v$ in $X$ are adjacent if and only if they commute in $G$. In this article,…

Let $\Gamma$ be a $Q$-polynomial distance-regular graph of diameter $d\geq 3$. Fix a vertex $\gamma$ of $\Gamma$ and consider the subgraph induced on the union of the last two subconstituents of $\Gamma$ with respect to $\gamma$. We prove…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite, undirected, connected, simple graph. We say that a matching $\mathcal{M}$ is a \textit{permutable $m$-matching} if $\mathcal{M}$ contains $m$ edges and the subgroup of $\text{Aut}(\Gamma)$ that fixes the matching…

Let $\Gamma$ be a $G$-symmetric graph with vertex set $V$. We suppose that $V$ admits a $G$-partition $\mathcal{B} = \{ B_0, ... , B_b \}$, with parts of size $v$, and that the quotient graph induced on $\mathcal B$ is a complete graph of…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a distance-regular graph with classical parameters $(D,b,\alpha,\beta)$ and $b\not=1$, $\alpha=b-1$. The condition on $\alpha$ implies that $\Gamma$ is formally self-dual. For $b=q^2$ we use the adjacency matrix and dual…

For a simple graph $G$, the $2$-distance graph, $D_2(G)$, is a graph with the vertex set $V(G)$ and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance is $2$ in the graph $G$. In this paper, we characterize all graphs with connected…

A vertex coloring of a graph $G$ is called a 2-distance coloring if any two vertices at distance at most $2$ from each other receive different colors. Let $G$ be a planar graph with girth at least $5$. We prove that $G$ admits a…
