Recently, Behr introduced a notion of the chromatic index of signed graphs and proved that for every signed graph $(G$, $\sigma)$ it holds that \[ \Delta(G)\leq\chi'(G\text{, }\sigma)\leq\Delta(G)+1\text{,} \] where $\Delta(G)$ is the…

Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices, and let $A(G)$ and $D(G)$ denote respectively the adjacency matrix and the degree matrix of $G$. Define $$ A_{\alpha}(G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha)A(G) $$ for any real $\alpha\in [0,1]$. The…

For a finite group $G$, let $\Delta(G)$ denote the character graph built on the set of degrees of the irreducible complex characters of $G$. Akhlaghi and Tong-Viet in \cite{[AT]} conjectured that if for some positive integer $n$,…

Let $N(X)$ be the Laplacian matrix of a directed graph obtained from the edge adjacency matrix of a graph $X.$ In this work, we study the bipartiteness property of the graph with the help of $N(X).$ We computed the spectrum of the edge…

Regular and distance-regular characterizations of general graphs are well-known. In particular, the spectral excess theorem states that a connected graph G is distance-regular if and only if its spectral excess (a number that can be…

In this paper, we find computational formulae for generalized characteristic polynomials of graph bundles. We show that the number of spanning trees in a graph is the partial derivative (at (0,1)) of the generalized characteristic…

We prove that for every $t\in \mathbb{N}$ there is a constant $\gamma_t$ such that every graph with twin-width at most $t$ and clique number $\omega$ has chromatic number bounded by $2^{\gamma_t \log^{4t+3} \omega}$. In other words, we…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\mathrm{Irr}(G)$ be the set of all complex irreducible characters of $G$. The character-graph $\Delta(G)$ associated to $G$, is a graph whose vertex set is the set of primes which divide the degrees of some…

Given a 0-1 square matrix A, when can some of the 1's be changed to -1's in such a way that the permanent of A equals the determinant of the modified matrix? When does a real square matrix have the property that every real matrix with the…

A graph $G$ is said to be \textit{determined by its generalized spectrum} (DGS for short) if for any graph $H$, $H$ and $G$ are cospectral with cospectral complements implies that $H$ is isomorphic to $G$. In \cite{WX,WX1}, Wang and Xu gave…

A signed graph is a pair $(G,\Sigma)$, where $G=(V,E)$ is a graph (in which parallel edges are permitted, but loops are not) with $V=\{1,...,n\}$ and $\Sigma\subseteq E$. The edges in $\Sigma$ are called odd and the other edges even. By…

Graph polynomials are deemed useful if they give rise to algebraic characterizations of various graph properties, and their evaluations encode many other graph invariants. Algebraic: The complete graphs $K_n$ and the complete bipartite…

Jerrum, Sinclair and Vigoda (2004) showed that the permanent of any square matrix can be estimated in polynomial time. This computation can be viewed as approximating the partition function of edge-weighted matchings in a bipartite graph.…

For a finite group $G$, let $\Delta(G)$ denote the character graph built on the set of degrees of the irreducible complex characters of $G$. In this paper, we show that if the diameter of $\Delta(G)$ is equal to three, then the complement…

We introduce a new notation for representing labeled regular bipartite graphs of arbitrary degree. Several enumeration problems for labeled and unlabeled regular bipartite graphs have been introduced. A general algorithm for enumerating all…

A graph is Schur-positive if its chromatic symmetric function expands non-negatively in the Schur basis. We determine a full Schur-positivity classification for complete multipartite graphs by showing that a complete multipartite graph…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\chi$ be an irreducible character of $G$. The codegree of $\chi$ is defined as $\chi^c(1) =\frac{|G: \ker\chi|}{\chi(1)}$. In a paper by Gao, Wang, and Chen, it was shown that $G$ cannot satisfy the condition…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite simple graph. If for some integer $n\geqslant 4$, $\Gamma$ is a $K_n$-free graph whose complement has an odd cycle of length at least $2n-5$, then we say that $\Gamma$ is an $n$-exact graph. For a finite group $G$,…

Sufficient conditions for a simple graph to be characterized up to isomorphism given its spectrum and the spectrum of its complement graph are known due to Wang and Xu. This note establishes a related sufficient condition in the presence of…

Let G be a simple balanced bipartite graph on $2n$ vertices, $\delta = \delta(G)/n$, and $\rho={\delta + \sqrt{2 \delta -1} \over 2}$. If $\delta > 1/2$ then it has a $\lfloor \rho n \rfloor$-regular spanning subgraph. The statement is…
