An identifying code $C$ of a graph $G$ is a dominating set of $G$ such that any two distinct vertices of $G$ have distinct closed neighbourhoods within $C$. The smallest size of an identifying code of $G$ is denoted $\gamma^{\text{ID}}(G)$.…

We associate a graph $\mathcal{C}_G$ to a non locally cyclic group $G$ (called the non-cyclic graph of $G$) as follows: take $G\backslash Cyc(G)$ as vertex set, where $Cyc(G)=\{x\in G | < x,y> \text{is cyclic for all} y\in G\}$ is called…

Let $\Gamma$ be a simple graph on a finite vertex set $V$ and let $A$ be its adjacency matrix. Then $\Gamma$ is said to be singular if and only if $0$ is an eigenvalue of $A.$ The nullity (singularity) of $\Gamma,$ denoted by ${\rm…

A spanning subgraph $F$ of a graph $G$ is called perfect if $F$ is a forest, the degree $d_F(x)$ of each vertex $x$ in $F$ is odd, and each tree of $F$ is an induced subgraph of $G$. We provide a short proof of the following theorem of A.D.…

Perfect graphs form one of the distinguished classes of finite simple graphs. In 2006, Chudnovsky, Robertson, Seymour and Thomas proved that a graph is perfect if and only if it has no odd holes and no odd antiholes as induced subgraphs,…

A fork is a graph obtained from $K_{1,3}$ (usually called claw) by subdividing an edge once. A graph is perfectly divisible if for each of its induced subgraph $H$, $V(H)$ can be partitioned into $A$ and $B$ such that $H[A]$ is perfect and…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of $k$-integral graphs. A graph $\Gamma$ is called $k$-integral if the extension degree of the splitting field of the characteristic polynomial of $\Gamma$ over rational field $\mathbb Q$ is equal to…

A perfect graph is a graph which every induced subgraph has clique number equal to chromatic number. In this paper, I will introduce a new family of graphs, the quasiperfect graphs which generalizes the perfect graphs.

Given a finite simple graph $\Gamma$ on $n$ vertices its complementary prism is the graph $\Gamma\bar{\Gamma}$ that is obtained from $\Gamma$ and its complement $\bar{\Gamma}$ by adding a perfect matching, where each its edge connects two…

The power graph $\mathcal{P}(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is a graph whose vertex set is the group $G$ and distinct elements $x,y\in G$ are adjacent if one is a power of the other, that is, $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if $x\in\langle y\rangle$ or…

For a list-assignment $L$, the reconfiguration graph $C_L(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the graph whose vertices are proper $L$-colorings of $G$ and whose edges link two colorings that differ on only one vertex. If $|L(v)| \ge d(v) + 2$ for every…

An $r$-identifying code on a graph $G$ is a set $C\subset V(G)$ such that for every vertex in $V(G)$, the intersection of the radius-$r$ closed neighborhood with $C$ is nonempty and unique. On a finite graph, the density of a code is…

Let $G$ be a group. The \emph{power graph} of $G$ is a graph with the vertex set $G$, having an edge between two elements whenever one is a power of the other. We characterize nilpotent groups whose power graphs have finite independence…

The directed power graph $\vec{\mathcal P}(\mathbf G)$ of a group $\mathbf G$ is the simple digraph with vertex set $G$ such that $x\rightarrow y$ if $y$ is a power of $x$. The power graph of $\mathbf G$, denoted by $\mathcal P(\mathbf G)$,…

We consider the isomorphism problem for hypergraphs taking as input two hypergraphs over the same set of vertices $V$ and a permutation group $\Gamma$ over domain $V$, and asking whether there is a permutation $\gamma \in \Gamma$ that…

A graph is weakly perfect if its clique number and chromatic number are equal. We show that the enhanced power graph of a finite group $G$ is weakly perfect: its clique number and chromatic number are equal to the maximum order of an…

The {\em power index} $\Theta(\Gamma)$ of a graph $\Gamma$ is the least order of a group $G$ such that $\Gamma$ can embed into the power graph of $G$. Furthermore, this group $G$ is {\em $\Gamma$-optimal} if $G$ has order $\Theta(\Gamma)$.…

Let $\gamma(G)$ be the domination number of a graph $G$. A graph $G$ is \emph{domination-vertex-critical}, or \emph{$\gamma$-vertex-critical}, if $\gamma(G-v)< \gamma(G)$ for every vertex $v \in V(G)$. In this paper, we show that: Let $G$…

Let $\Gamma(G)$ be the Gruenberg-Kegel graph of a finite group $G$. We prove that if $G$ is solvable and $\sigma$ is a cut-set for $\Gamma(G)$, then $G$ has a $\sigma$-series of length $5$ whose factors are controlled. As a consequence, we…

We investigate the relationship between finite groups and incidence geometries through their automorphism structures. Building upon classical results on the realizability of groups as automorphism groups of graphs, we develop a general…
