A graph is $k$-planar $(k \geq 1)$ if it can be drawn in the plane such that no edge is crossed more than $k$ times. A graph is $k$-quasi planar $(k \geq 2)$ if it can be drawn in the plane with no $k$ pairwise crossing edges. The families…
Characterizing graphs by their spectra is an important topic in spectral graph theory, which has attracted a lot of attention of researchers in recent years. It is generally very hard and challenging to show a given graph to be determined…
Twelve new strongly regular graphs with parameters (81,30,9,12) are found as graphs invariant under certain subgroups of the automorphism groups of the two previously known graphs that arise from 2-weight codes. One of these new graphs is…
In this paper, we attach several new invariants to connected strongly regular graphs (excepting conference graphs on non-square number of vertices) : one invariant called the discriminant, and a p-adic invariant corresponding to each prime…
A graph G is {\xi}-nearly planar if it can be embedded in the sphere so that each of its edges is crossed at most {\xi} times. The family of {\xi}-nearly planar graphs is widely extending the notion of planarity. We introduce an alternative…
An $r$-quasiplanar graph is a graph drawn in the plane with no $r$ pairwise crossing edges. Let $s \geq 3$ be an integer and $r=2^s$. We prove that there is a constant $C$ such that every $r$-quasiplanar graph with $n \geq r$ vertices has…
It is shown that every 2-planar graph is quasiplanar, that is, if a simple graph admits a drawing in the plane such that every edge is crossed at most twice, then it also admits a drawing in which no three edges pairwise cross. We further…
A quasisymmetric graph is a curve whose projection onto a line is a quasisymmetric map. We show that this class of curves is related to solutions of the reduced Beltrami equation and to a generalization of the Zygmund class $\Lambda_*$.…
We introduce the notion of q-analogs of strongly regular graphs and give several examples of such structures. We prove a necessary condition on the parameters, show the connection to designs over finite fields, and present a classification.
A strongly regular graph is called trivial if it or its complement is a union of disjoint cliques. We prove that every infinite family of nontrivial strongly regular graphs is quasi-random in the sense of Chung, Graham and Wilson.
A quasi-strongly regular graph of grade $p$ with parameters $(n, k, a; c_1, \ldots, c_p)$ is a $k$-regular graph of order $n$ such that any two adjacent vertices share $a$ common neighbours and any two non-adjacent vertices share $c_{i}$…
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…
A k-regular graph on v vertices is a divisible design graph with parameters (v, k, lambda_1 ,lambda_2, m, n) if its vertex set can be partitioned into m classes of size n, such that any two different vertices from the same class have…
Highly regular graphs for which not all regularities are explainable by symmetries are fascinating creatures. Some of them like, e.g., the line graph of W.~Kantor's non-classical $\mathrm{GQ}(5^2,5)$, are stumbling stones for existing…
It is well known that a graph $G$ has a symmetric spectrum if and only if it is bipartite, a signed graph $\Gamma=(G,\sigma)$ has a symmetric spectrum if $G$ is bipartite. However, there exists a spectrally symmetric signed graph…
A signed graph is said to be sign-symmetric if it is switching isomorphic to its negation. Bipartite signed graphs are trivially sign-symmetric. We give new constructions of non-bipartite sign-symmetric signed graphs. Sign-symmetric signed…
The symplectic graph Sp(2d, q) is the collinearity graph of the symplectic space of dimension 2d over a finite field of order q. A k-regular graph on v vertices is a divisible design graph with parameters (v, k, lambda_1, lambda_2 ,m,n) if…
We examine the adjacency spectrum of trees with diameter three, also referred to as double stars. Using $P_2(a,b)$ to denote a double star with $ a$ and $b$ leaves at its respective endpoints, we discuss graphs which are cospectral to…
An $n$-vertex graph $G$ of edge density $p$ is considered to be quasirandom if it shares several important properties with the random graph $G(n,p)$. A well-known theorem of Chung, Graham and Wilson states that many such `typical'…
We present a discrete Morse-theoretic method for proving that a regular CW complex is homeomorphic to a sphere. We use this method to define bisimplices, the cells of a class of regular CW complexes we call bisimplicial complexes. The…
