The structure of all graphs having minimum rank at most k over a finite field with q elements is characterized for any possible k and q. A strong connection between this characterization and polarities of projective geometries is explained.…
Let $n\ge 1$ be an integer and $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$ with $q$ elements. In this paper, it is proved that the Wenger graph $W_n(q)$ and linearized Wenger graph $L_m(q)$ are edge-girth-regular…
We construct a new family of strongly regular graphs with the same parameters as the strongly regular graphs $D_{5,5}(q)$. The construction can be seen as a variant of the construction of twisted Grassmann graphs by Van Dam and Koolen.
To construct a Paley graph, we fix a finite field and consider its elements as vertices of the Paley graph. Two vertices are connected by an edge if their difference is a square in the field. We will study some important properties of the…
A graph is called 1-planar if it can be drawn on the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. In this paper, we establish a local property of 1-planar graphs which describes the structure in the neighborhood of small…
The power graph of a group is the simple graph with vertices as the group elements, in which two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if one of them can be obtained as an integral power of the other. We study (minimal) cut-sets of the…
For a finite group $G$, denote by $\alpha(G)$ the minimum number of vertices of any graph $\Gamma$ having $\text{Aut}(\Gamma)\cong G$. In this paper, we prove that $\alpha(G)\leq |G|$, with specified exceptions. The exceptions include four…
Let $2 \le r < m$ and $g$ be positive integers. An $({r,m};g)$--graph} (or biregular graph) is a graph with degree set ${r,m}$ and girth $g$, and an $({r,m};g)$-cage (or biregular cage) is an $({r,m};g)$-graph of minimum order $n({r,m};g)$.…
An $(r,z,k)$-mixed graph $G$ has every vertex with undirected degree $r$, directed in- and out-degree $z$, and diameter $k$. In this paper, we study the case $r=z=1$, proposing some new constructions of $(1,1,k)$-mixed graphs with a large…
In the projective planes $\mathrm{PG}(2,q)$, we collect the smallest known sizes of complete arcs for the regions \begin{align*} &\mbox{all } q\le160001,~~ q \mbox{ prime power};\\ &Q_{4}=\{34 \mbox{ sporadic }q'\mbox{s in the interval…
We show that the 20 graph Heawood family, obtained by a combination of triangle-Y and Y-triangle moves on $K_7$, is precisely the set of graphs of at most 21 edges that are minor minimal for the property not $2$--apex. As a corollary, this…
We introduce a general class of algorithms and supply a number of general results useful for analysing these algorithms when applied to regular graphs of large girth. As a result, we can transfer a number of results proved for random…
We prove that every 3-regular graph with no circuit of length less than six has a subgraph isomorphic to a subdivision of the Petersen graph.
Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $\Delta(G)$ be the prime graph built on the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$: this is the simple undirected graph whose vertices are the prime numbers dividing some conjugacy class size of $G$, two…
A Kirchhoff graph is a vector graph with orthogonal cycles and vertex cuts. An algorithm has been developed that constructs all the Kirchhoff graphs up to a fixed edge multiplicity. This algorithm is used to explore the structure of prime…
We study the point regular groups of automorphisms of some of the known generalised quadrangles. In particular we determine all point regular groups of automorphisms of the thick classical generalised quadrangles. We also construct point…
Considering regular graphs with every edge in a triangle we prove lower bounds for the number of triangles in such graphs. For r-regular graphs with r <= 5 we exhibit families of graphs with exactly that number of triangles and then…
A graph is one-regular if its automorphism group acts regularly on the set of its arcs. In this paper, $4$-valent one-regular graphs of order $5p^2$, where $p$ is a prime, are classified
The goal of this article is to exhibit two new families of finitely generated simple groups of homeomorphisms of $\mathbf{R}$. These families are strikingly different from existing families owing to the nature of their actions on…
In this paper we prove the existence of a special order on the set of minimal monomial generators of powers of edge ideals of arbitrary graphs. Using this order we find new upper bounds on the regularity of powers of edge ideals of graphs…
