In this paper, we study distance-regular graphs $\Gamma$ that have a pair of distinct vertices, say x and y, such that the number of common neighbors of x and y is about half the valency of $\Gamma$. We show that if the diameter is at least…
Path calculus, or graphical linear algebra, is a string diagram calculus for the category of matrices over a base ring. It is the usual string diagram calculus for a symmetric monoidal category, where the monoidal product is the direct sum…
The status of a vertex $v$ in a connected graph is the sum of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices. The status sequence of a connected graph is the list of the statuses of all the vertices of the graph. In this paper we investigate…
This paper presents a novel methodology that transforms discrete-time quantum walks into a graph embedding technique, offering a fresh perspective on graph representation methods.Through mathematical manipulations, the approach of this…
For any connected multigraph $G=(V,E)$ and any $M\subseteq E$, if $M$ induces an acyclic subgraph of $G$ and removing all edges in $M$ yields a subgraph of $G$ whose components are complete graphs, a formula for $\tau_G(M)$ is obtained,…
We demonstrate that continuous time quantum walks on several types of branching graphs, including graphs with loops, are identical to quantum walks on simpler linear chain graphs. We also show graph types for which such equivalence does not…
We show that the vertices of every planar graph can be partitioned into two sets, each inducing a so-called triangle-forest, i.e., a graph with no cycles of length more than three. We further discuss extensions to locally planar graphs.…
It is well known that, in general, part of the spectrum of a graph can be obtained from the adjacency matrix of its quotient graph given by a regular partition. In this paper, we propose a method to obtain all the spectrum, and also the…
We say that a vertex $v$ in a connected graph $G$ is decisive if the numbers of walks from $v$ of each length determine the graph $G$ rooted at $v$ up to isomorphism among all connected rooted graphs with the same number of vertices. On the…
A tree is said to be even if for every pair of distinct leaves, the length of the unique path between them is even. In this paper we discuss the problem of determining whether an input graph has a spanning even tree. Hofmann and Walsh…
Quantum random walks represent a powerful tool for the implementation of various quantum algorithms. We consider a convolution problem for the graphs which provide quantum and classical random walks. We suggest a new method for lattices and…
A method for considering a weighted directed graph with an accuracy of up to a given partition of the set of vertices is proposed. The resulting digraph (the splitting graph) does not contain arcs inside each partition element, and the arcs…
We introduce quantized bipartite walks, compute their spectra, generalize the algorithms of Grover \cite{g} and Ambainis \cite{amb03} and interpret them as quantum walks with memory. We compare the performance of walk based classical and…
We generalize the tree-confluent graphs to a broader class of graphs called Delta-confluent graphs. This class of graphs and distance-hereditary graphs, a well-known class of graphs, coincide. Some results about the visualization of…
The quantum walk dynamics obey the laws of quantum mechanics with an extra locality constraint, which demands that the evolution operator is local in the sense that the walker must visit the neighboring locations before endeavoring to…
Luo, Tian and Wu [Discrete Math. 345 (4) (2022) 112788] conjectured that for any tree $T$ with bipartition $(X,Y)$, every $k$-connected bipartite graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $k+w$, where $w=\max\{|X|,|Y|\}$, contains a tree…
We define the quaternionic quantum walk on a finite graph and investigate its properties. This walk can be considered as a natural quaternionic extension of the Grover walk on a graph. We explain the way to obtain all the right eigenvalues…
Quantum walks provide a powerful framework for achieving algorithmic speedup in quantum computing. This paper presents a quantum search algorithm for 2-tessellable graphs, a generalization of bipartite graphs, achieving a quadratic speedup…
A path partition (also referred to as a linear forest) of a graph $G$ is a set of vertex-disjoint paths which together contain all the vertices of $G$. An isolated vertex is considered to be a path in this case. The path partition…
A discrete-time quantum walk on a graph is the repeated application of a unitary evolution operator to a Hilbert space corresponding to the graph. If this unitary evolution operator has an associated group of symmetries, then for certain…
