The characterization of bipartite distance-regularized graphs, where some vertices have eccentricity less than four, in terms of the incidence structures of which they are incidence graphs, is known. In this paper we prove that there is a…

The parameter $q(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of distinct eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix whose pattern is given by $G$. We introduce a novel graph product by which we construct new infinite families of graphs that achieve…

Finding a diagonal matrix congruent to $A - cI$ for constants $c$, where $A$ is the adjacency matrix of a graph $G$ allows us to quickly tell the number of eigenvalues in a given interval. If $G$ has clique-width $k$ and a corresponding…

Let D be the distance matrix of a connected graph G and let nn(G), np(G) be the number of strictly negative and positive eigenvalues of D respectively. It was remarked in [1] that it is not known whether there is a graph for which np(G) >…

Radial Moore graphs and digraphs are extremal graphs related to the Moore ones where the distance-preserving spanning tree is preserved for some vertices. This leads to classify them according to their proximity to being a Moore graph or…

Graphs with few distinct eigenvalues have been investigated extensively. In this paper, we focus on another relevant topic: characterizing graphs with some eigenvalue of large multiplicity. Specifically, the normalized Laplacian matrix of a…

The distance eigenvalues of a connected graph $G$ are the eigenvalues of its distance matrix $D(G)$. A graph is called distance integral if all of its distance eigenvalues are integers. Let $n \geq 3$ be an integer. The crown graph $Cr(n)$…

We study the commuting graph of $n\times n$ matrices over the field of $p$-adics $\mathbb{Q}_p$, whose vertices are non-scalar $n\times n$ matrices with entries in $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and whose edges connect pairs of matrices that commute under…

We consider isomorphism of controllable graphs and cospectrality of distance-regularized graphs (which are known to be distance-regular or distance-biregular) in relation to logical definability. While most characterizations of these…

The spectral radius of a graph is the largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. A minimizer graph is such that minimizes the spectral radius among all connected graphs on $n$ vertices with diameter $d$. The minimizer graphs are known for…

Chung, Graham, and Wilson proved that a graph is quasirandom if and only if there is a large gap between its first and second largest eigenvalue. Recently, the authors extended this characterization to k-uniform hypergraphs, but only for…

In this paper we obtain $(q+3)$--regular graphs of girth 5 with fewer vertices than previously known ones for $q=13,17,19$ and for any prime $q \ge 23$ performing operations of reductions and amalgams on the Levi graph $B_q$ of an elliptic…
