Let $\Gamma$ denote a $Q$-polynomial distance-regular graph with diameter $D\geq 1$. For a vertex $x$ of $\Gamma$ the corresponding subconstituent algebra $T=T(x)$ is generated by the adjacency matrix $A$ of $\Gamma$ and the dual adjacency…

We study maximal distances in the commuting graphs of matrix algebras defined over algebraically closed fields. In particular, we show that the maximal distance can be attained only between two nonderogatory matrices. We also describe…

We study a class of tridiagonal matrix models, the "q-roots of unity" models, which includes the sign ($q=2$) and the clock ($q=\infty$) models by Feinberg and Zee. We find that the eigenvalue densities are bounded by and have the…

For a connected graph, the distance spectral radius is the largest eigenvalue of its distance matrix, and the distance energy is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of its distance matrix. We establish lower and…

In this paper we prove that any distance-balanced graph $G$ with $\Delta(G)\geq |V(G)|-3$ is regular. Also we define notion of distance-balanced closure of a graph and we find distance-balanced closures of trees $T$ with $\Delta(T)\geq…

In this paper, we investigate the spectrum of the unit-graph of the ring of $3 \times 3$ matrices over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, which is equivalently the Cayley digraph $ \mathrm{Cay}\!\left((\mathrm{Mat}_3(\mathbb{F}_q),+),…

A Neumaier graph is a non-complete edge-regular graph containing a regular clique. In this paper we give some sufficient and necessary conditions for a Neumaier graph to be strongly regular. Further we show that there does not exist…

A weakly distance-regular digraph is thick if its attached scheme is regular. In this paper, we show that each commutative thick weakly distance-regular digraph has a thick weakly distance-regular subdigraph such that the corresponding…

Let $n \geq 4$. The helm graph $H_n$ on $2n-1$ vertices is obtained from the wheel graph $W_n$ by adjoining a pendant edge to each vertex of the outer cycle of $W_n$. Suppose $n$ is even. Let $D := [d_{ij}]$ be the distance matrix of $H_n$.…

Characterizations graphs of some classes to induce periodic Grover walks have been studied for recent years. In particular, for the strongly regular graphs, it has been known that there are only three kinds of such graphs. Here, we focus on…

The dodecacode is a nonlinear additive quaternary code of length $12$. By puncturing it at any of the twelve coordinates, we obtain a uniformly packed code of distance $5$. In particular, this latter code is completely regular but not…

Given a tree $T$, let $q(T)$ be the minimum number of distinct eigenvalues in a symmetric matrix whose underlying graph is $T$. It is well known that $q(T)\geq d(T)+1$, where $d(T)$ is the diameter of $T$, and a tree $T$ is said to be…

All finite simple self $2$-distance graphs with no $4$-cycle, diamond, or triangles with a common vertex are determined. Utilizing these results, it is shown that there is no cubic self $2$-distance graphs.
