An orientation of an undirected graph $G$ is an assignment of exactly one direction to each edge of $G$. The oriented diameter of a graph $G$ is the smallest diameter among all the orientations of $G$. The maximum oriented diameter of a…

In 1995, Metsch showed that the Grassmann graph $J_q(n,D)$ of diameter $D\geq 3$ is characterized by its intersection numbers with the following possible exceptions: (-) $n=2D$ or $n=2D+1$, $q\geq 2$; (-) $n=2D+2$ and $q\in \{2,3\}$; (-)…

The $q$-color Ramsey number of a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ is the minimum integer $N$ such that any $q$-coloring of the complete $k$-uniform hypergraph on $N$ vertices contains a monochromatic copy of $H$. The study of these numbers is one…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, $q=p^e$, $e\ge 1$, and $\mathbb{F} = \mathbb{F_q}$ denote the finite field of $q$ elements. Let $f: \mathbb{F}^2\to \mathbb{F}$ and $g: \mathbb{F}^3\to \mathbb{F}$ be functions, and let $P$ and $L$ be two copies of…

For a given graph G and an associated class of real symmetric matrices whose off-diagonal entries are governed by the adjacencies in G, the collection of all possible spectra for such matrices is considered. Building on the pioneering work…

The inducibility of a graph $H$ measures the maximum number of induced copies of $H$ a large graph $G$ can have. Generalizing this notion, we study how many induced subgraphs of fixed order $k$ and size $\ell$ a large graph $G$ on $n$…

Answering an open question from 2007, we construct infinite $k$-crossing-critical families of graphs that contain vertices of any prescribed odd degree, for any sufficiently large~$k$. To answer this question, we introduce several…

The uniformity, for the family of exceptional Lie algebras g, of the decompositions of the powers of their adjoint representations is well-known now for powers up to the fourth. The paper describes an extension of this uniformity for the…

Given a family ${\cal F}$ of graphs, and a positive integer $n$, the Tur\'an number $ex(n,{\cal F})$ of ${\cal F}$ is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph that does not contain any member of ${\cal F}$ as a subgraph. The order…

In this paper, we give infinitely many examples of (non-isomorphic) connected $k$-regular graphs with smallest eigenvalue in half open interval $[-1-\sqrt2, -2)$ and also infinitely many examples of (non-isomorphic) connected $k$-regular…

We consider higher-dimensional generalizations of the normalized Laplacian and the adjacency matrix of graphs and study their eigenvalues for the Linial-Meshulam model $X^k(n,p)$ of random $k$-dimensional simplicial complexes on $n$…

In this paper, we compare the regularities of symbolic and ordinary powers of edge ideals of weighted oriented graphs. For any weighted oriented complete graph $K_n$, we show that $\reg(I(K_n)^{(k)})\leq \reg(I(K_n)^k)$ for all $k\geq 1$.…

For a graph $G$, we associate a family of real symmetric matrices, $S(G)$, where for any $A\in S(G)$, the location of the nonzero off-diagonal entries of $A$ are governed by the adjacency structure of $G$. Let $q(G)$ be the minimum number…

In 1993 Hong asked what are the best bounds on the $k$'th largest eigenvalue $\lambda_{k}(G)$ of a graph $G$ of order $n$. This challenging question has never been tackled for any $2<k<n$. In the present paper tight bounds are obtained for…

Let $\mathbb{Z}_q$ denote the cyclic group of order $q$. A $\mathbb{Z}_q$-edge-weighted $K_f$ is the complete graph $K_f$ equipped with a weight function $\omega : E(K_f) \to \mathbb{Z}_q$. A subdivision of a graph $H$ in a…

We give variants of the Krein bound and the absolute bound for graphs with a spectrum similar to that of a strongly regular graph. In particular, we investigate what we call approximately strongly regular graphs. We apply our results to…

Let $G$ be a simple connected graph on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. In [Linear Algebra Appl. 435 (2011) 2570-2584], Lima et al. posed the following conjecture on the least eigenvalue $q_n(G)$ of the signless Laplacian of $G$: $\displaystyle…

For a given complex square matrix $A$ with constant row sum, we establish two new eigenvalue inclusion sets. Using these bounds, first we derive bounds for the second largest and smallest eigenvalues of adjacency matrices of $k$-regular…

A graph $\Gamma$ is basic if Aut$\Gamma$ has no normal subgroup $N\ne1$ such that $\Gamma$ is a normal cover of the normal quotient graph $\Gamma_N$. In this paper, we completely determine the basic normal quotient graphs of all connected…

One deals with r-regular bipartite graphs with 2n vertices. In a previous paper Butera, Pernici, and the author have introduced a quantity d(i), a function of the number of i-matchings, and conjectured that as n goes to infinity the…
