In this paper we consider module-composed graphs, i.e. graphs which can be defined by a sequence of one-vertex insertions v_1,...,v_n, such that the neighbourhood of vertex v_i, 2<= i<= n, forms a module (a homogeneous set) of the graph…
We give a complete characterization of simple graphs whose adjacency matrices generate binary linear complementary dual (LCD) codes. In particular, we completely characterize a distance-regular graph which yields an LCD code in terms of the…
Suppose $X$ is a simple graph. The $X-$join $\Gamma$ of a set of complete or empty graphs $\{X_x \}_{x \in V(X)}$ is a simple graph with the following vertex and edge sets: \begin{eqnarray*} V(\Gamma) &=& \{(x,y) \ | \ x \in V(X) \ \& \ y…
We consider embeddings of 3-regular graphs into 3-dimensional Cartesian coordinates, in such a way that two vertices are adjacent if and only if two of their three coordinates are equal (that is, if they lie on an axis-parallel line) and…
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 a given graph $G$, the metric and edge metric dimensions of $G$, $\dim(G)$ and ${\rm edim}(G)$, are the cardinalities of the smallest possible subsets of vertices in $V(G)$ such that they uniquely identify the vertices and the edges of…
In the branch of mathematics known as graph theory, graphs are considered as a set of points, called vertices, with connections between these points, called edges. The purpose of this paper is to study mappings between two graphs that have…
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…
Recently, there has been interest in the question of whether a partial matrix in which many of the fully defined principal submatrices are PSD is approximately PSD completable. These questions are related to graph theory because we can…
A graph is called a pseudo-core if every endomorphism is either an automorphism or a colouring. In this paper, we show that every Grassmann graph $J_q(n,m)$ is a pseudo-core. Moreover, the Grassmann graph $J_q(n,m)$ is a core whenever $m$…
The core of a graph is the smallest graph (in terms of number of vertices) to which it is homomorphically equivalent. The question of the possible order of the core of the tensor product (also known as categorical, Heidetnemi or direct…
The criteria for determining graph isomorphism are crucial for solving graph isomorphism problems. The necessary condition is that two isomorphic graphs possess invariants, but their function can only be used to filtrate and subdivide…
We initiate the study of computational complexity of graph coverings, aka locally bijective graph homomorphisms, for {\em graphs with semi-edges}. The notion of graph covering is a discretization of coverings between surfaces or topological…
Lov\'{a}sz proved that two graphs $G$ and $H$ are isomorphic if $\hom(K,G) = \hom(K,H)$ for all graphs $K$, where $\hom(G_1,G_2)$ denotes the number of homomorphisms from $G_1$ to $G_2$. Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k showed that it suffices to count…
We give a unified approach to analysing, for each positive integer $s$, a class of finite connected graphs that contains all the distance transitive graphs as well as the locally $s$-arc transitive graphs of diameter at least $s$. A graph…
We investigate the structure of conformally rigid graphs. Graphs are conformally rigid if introducing edge weights cannot increase (decrease) the second (last) eigenvalue of the Graph Laplacian. Edge-transitive graphs and distance-regular…
For every natural number $d$, we construct finite $d$-regular simple graphs that, for every $r \le d$, contain an independent exact $r$-cover. This answers a question of Gray and Johnson that arose in their study of 2-step transit…
Decomposing a graph into a hierarchical structure via $k$-core analysis is a standard operation in any modern graph-mining toolkit. $k$-core decomposition is a simple and efficient method that allows to analyze a graph beyond its mere…
A non-complete \drg $\Gamma$ is called geometric if there exists a set $\mathcal{C}$ of Delsarte cliques such that each edge of $\Gamma$ lies in a unique clique in $\mathcal{C}$. In this paper, we determine the non-complete distance-regular…
The distance matrix of a connected graph is the symmetric matrix with columns and rows indexed by the vertices and entries that are the pairwise distances between the corresponding vertices. We give a construction for graphs which differ in…
