This paper was inspired by a paper by Blokhuis and Brouwer [Designs, Codes and Cryptography 65, 2012] in which a definition of a graph on the flags of a biplane is given, and they prove that the graph corresponding to the unique…
The simple graphs $G=(V,E)$ that satisfy $|E'|\leq 2|V'|-l$ for any subgraph (and for $l=1,2,3$) are the $(2,l)$-sparse graphs. Those that also satisfy $|E|=2|V|-l$ are the $(2,l)$-tight graphs. These can be characterised by their…
A simplified version of the theory of strongly regular graphs is developed for the case in which the graphs have no triangles. This leads to (i) direct proofs of the Krein conditions, and (ii) the characterization of strongly regular graphs…
We present simple, geometric constructions for small regular graphs of girth 7 from the incidence graphs of some generalized quadrangles. We obtain infinite families of (q-1)-regular, q-regular and (q + 1)-regular graphs of girth 7, for q a…
A quasi-strongly regular graph of grade $p$ with parameters $(n, k, a; c_1, \ldots, c_p)$ is a $k$-regular graph of order $n$ such that any two adjacent vertices share $a$ common neighbours and any two non-adjacent vertices share $c_{i}$…
A graph is $\ell$-reconstructible if it is determined by its multiset of induced subgraphs obtained by deleting $\ell$ vertices. We prove that strongly regular graphs with at least six vertices are $2$-reconstructible.
A graph has strong convex dimension $2$, if it admits a straight-line drawing in the plane such that its vertices are in convex position and the midpoints of its edges are also in convex position. Halman, Onn, and Rothblum conjectured that…
In 1976, Delsarte introduced the notion of $q$-analogs of designs, and $q$-analogs of graphs were introduced recently by M. Braun et al. In this paper, we extend that study by giving a method for constructing transitive regular $q$-analogs…
Half-arc-transitive graphs are a fascinating topic which connects graph theory, Riemann surfaces and group theory. Although fruitful results have been obtained over the last half a century, it is still challenging to construct…
Regular colored graphs are dual representations of pure colored D-dimensional complexes. These graphs can be classified with respect to an integer, their degree, much like maps are characterized by the genus. We analyse the structure of…
In this article, we give a first example of a pair of quantum isomorphic, non-isomorphic strongly regular graphs, that is, non-isomorphic strongly regular graphs having the same homomorphism counts from all planar graphs. The pair consists…
The Terwilliger algebra $T(x)$ of a finite connected simple graph $\Gamma$ with respect to a vertex $x$ is the complex semisimple matrix algebra generated by the adjacency matrix $A$ of $\Gamma$ and the diagonal matrices…
A $d$-regular graph on $n$ nodes has at most $T_{\max} = \frac{n}{3} \tbinom{d}{2}$ triangles. We compute the leading asymptotics of the probability that a large random $d$-regular graph has at least $c \cdot T_{\max}$ triangles, and…
We construct a new partial geometry with parameters pg(5,5,2), not isomorphic to the partial geometry of van Lint and Schrijver.
Weakly distance-regular digraphs are a natural directed version of distance-regular graphs. In [8], the third author and Suzuki proposed a question when an orientation of a distance-regular graph defines a weakly distance-regular digraph.…
An approach to the enumeration of feasible parameters for strongly regular graphs is described, based on the pair of structural parameters (a,c) and the positive eigenvalue e. The Krein bound ensures that there are only finitely many…
This survey concerns regular graphs that are extremal with respect to the number of independent sets, and more generally, graph homomorphisms. More precisely, in the family of of $d$-regular graphs, which graph $G$ maximizes/minimizes the…
For any positive integer $m$, the complete graph on $2^{2m}(2^m+2)$ vertices is decomposed into $2^m+1$ commuting strongly regular graphs, which give rise to a symmetric association scheme of class $2^{m+2}-2$. Furthermore, the…
A graph is {\em $1$-planar} if it can be drawn in the plane such that every edge crosses at most one other edge. A connected graph $H$ is {\em strongly light} in a family of graphs $\mathfrak{G}$, if there exists a constant $\lambda$, such…
In this paper, we examine the structure of vertex- and edge-transitive strongly regular graphs, using normal quotient reduction. We show that the irreducible graphs in this family have quasiprimitive automorphism groups, and prove (using…
