In this paper, a new class of Finsler metrics which are included $(\alpha,\beta)$-metrics are introduced. They are defined by a Riemannian metric and two 1-forms $\beta=b_i(x)y^i$ and $\gamma= \gamma_i(x)y^i$. This class of metrics are a…

Let $G$ be a simple graph. The $k$-th neighborhood of a vertex subset $S \subseteq V(G)$, denoted $\Lambda^k(S)$, is the set of vertices that are adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in $S$. The $k$-th binding number $\beta^k(G)$ is defined as…

We investigate Ramsey numbers of bounded degree graphs and provide an interpolation between known results on the Ramsey numbers of general bounded degree graphs and bounded degree graphs of small bandwidth. Our main theorem implies that…

In this paper, we study the $q$-distance matrix for a distance-regular graph and show that the $q$-distance matrix of a distance-regular graph with classical parameters ($D, q, \alpha, \beta$) has exactly three distinct eigenvalues, of…

The motion of a graph is the minimal degree of its full automorphism group. Babai conjectured that the motion of a primitive distance-regular graph on $n$ vertices of diameter greater than two is at least $n/C$ for some universal constant…

A Deza graph with parameters $(n,k,b,a)$ is a $k$-regular graph with $n$ vertices in which any two vertices have $a$ or $b$ ($a\leq b$) common neighbours. A Deza graph is strictly Deza if it has diameter $2$, and is not strongly regular. In…

A graph pair $(\Gamma, \Sigma)$ is called stable if $\aut(\Gamma)\times\aut(\Sigma)$ is isomorphic to $\aut(\Gamma\times\Sigma)$ and unstable otherwise, where $\Gamma\times\Sigma$ is the direct product of $\Gamma$ and $\Sigma$. A graph is…

Let $\Gamma(n,k)$ be the Grassmann graph formed by the $k$-dimensional subspaces of a vector space of dimension $n$ over a field $\mathbb F$ and, for $t\in \mathbb{N}\setminus \{0\}$, let $\Delta_t(n,k)$ be the subgraph of $\Gamma(n,k)$…

We start up the study of the stability of general graph pairs. This notion is a generalization of the concept of the stability of graphs. We say that a pair of graphs $(\Gamma,\Sigma)$ is stable if $Aut(\Gamma\times\Sigma) \cong…

A graph $\Gamma$ is $G$-symmetric if it admits $G$ as a group of automorphisms acting transitively on the set of arcs of $\Gamma$, where an arc is an ordered pair of adjacent vertices. Let $\Gamma$ be a $G$-symmetric graph such that its…

A pair of graphs $(\Gamma,\Sigma)$ is said to be stable if the full automorphism group of $\Gamma\times\Sigma$ is isomorphic to the product of the full automorphism groups of $\Gamma$ and $\Sigma$ and unstable otherwise, where…

In this paper we consider a distance-regular graph $\Gamma$. Fix a vertex $x$ of $\Gamma$ and consider the corresponding subconstituent algebra $T$. The algebra $T$ is the $\mathbb{C}$-algebra generated by the Bose-Mesner algebra $M$ of…

A {\em resolving set} for a graph $\Gamma$ is a collection of vertices $S$, chosen so that for each vertex $v$, the list of distances from $v$ to the members of $S$ uniquely specifies $v$. The {\em metric dimension} of $\Gamma$ is the…

\noindent In this paper, we show that for any positive integers $r$, $k$, $\Theta$, and $\Gamma$ such that $k \geq 2$ and $r \geq k + \Gamma$, there exists a connected graph $G$ for which $$\begin{array}{llcr} \omega (G) = \chi (G) = k, &…

In 2018, by Ramsey and Hoffman theory, Koolen, Yang, and Yang presented a structural result on graphs with smallest eigenvalue at least $-3$ and large minimum degree. In this study, we depart from the conventional use of Ramsey theory and…

Let $\Gamma$ be a distance-regular graph with diameter $d$ and Kneser graph $K=\Gamma_d$, the distance-$d$ graph of $\Gamma$. We say that $\Gamma$ is partially antipodal when $K$ has fewer distinct eigenvalues than $\Gamma$. In particular,…

We give a new bound on the parameter $\lambda$ (number of common neighbors of a pair of adjacent vertices) in a distance-regular graph $G$, improving and generalizing bounds for strongly regular graphs by Spielman (1996) and Pyber (2014).…

The {\em metric dimension} of a graph $\Gamma$ is the least number of vertices in a set with the property that the list of distances from any vertex to those in the set uniquely identifies that vertex. We consider the Grassmann graph…

We study regular graphs whose distance-$2$ graph or distance-$1$-or-$2$ graph is strongly regular. We provide a characterization of such graphs $\Gamma$ (among regular graphs with few distinct eigenvalues) in terms of the spectrum and the…

An association scheme is $P$-polynomial if and only if it consists of the distance matrices of a distance-regular graph. Recently, bivariate $P$-polynomial association schemes of type $(\alpha,\beta)$ were introduced by Bernard et al., and…
