In this paper we introduce and study a type of Cayley graph -- subnormal Cayley graph. We prove that a subnormal 2-arc transitive Cayley graph is a normal Cayley graph or a normal cover of a complete bipartite graph $K_{p^d,p^d}$ with $p$…

We consider the problem of computing identifying codes of graphs and its fractional relaxation. The ratio between the size of optimal integer and fractional solutions is between 1 and 2 ln(|V|)+1 where V is the set of vertices of the graph.…

Let $G$ be a connected graph with vertex set $V$. The distance, $d_G(u, v)$, between vertices $u$ and $v$ of $G$ is defined as the length of a shortest path between $u$ and $v$ in $G$. The distance matrix of $G$ is the matrix $\mathbf{D}(G)…

For a graph $\Gamma$, the {\em distance} $d_\Gamma(u,v)$ between two distinct vertices $u$ and $v$ in $\Gamma$ is defined as the length of the shortest path from $u$ to $v$, and the {\em diameter} $\mathrm{diam}(\Gamma)$ of $\Gamma$ is the…

Weakly distance-regular digraphs are a natural directed version of distance-regular graphs. In [8], the third author and Suzuki proposed a question when an orientation of a distance-regular graph defines a weakly distance-regular digraph.…

A graph is said to be globally rigid if almost all embeddings of the graph's vertices in the Euclidean plane will define a system of edge-length equations with a unique (up to isometry) solution. In 2007, Jackson, Servatius and Servatius…

In this paper, we determine the class of finite 2-arc-transitive bicirculants. We show that a connected $2$-arc-transitive bicirculant is one of the following graphs: $C_{2n}$ where $n\geqslant 2$, $\K_{2n}$ where $n\geqslant 2$, $\K_{n,n}$…

Let $\Gamma$ be a connected $G$-vertex-transitive graph, let $v$ be a vertex of $\Gamma$ and let $L=G_v^{\Gamma(v)}$ be the permutation group induced by the action of the vertex-stabiliser $G_v$ on the neighbourhood $\Gamma(v)$. Then…

It is shown that exactly 7 distance-transitive cubic graphs among the existing 12 possess a particular ultrahomogeneous property with respect to oriented cycles realizing the girth that allows the construction of a related Cayley digraph…

In this article we define a minor relation, which is stronger than the classical one, but too strong to become a well-quasi-order on the class of finite graphs. Nevertheless, with this terminology we are able to introduce a conjecture,…

In earlier papers, we showed a decomposition of 2-diregular digraphs (2-dds) and used it to provide some sufficient conditions for these graphs to be non-Hamiltonian; we also showed a close connection between the permanent and determinant…

A CIS graph is a graph in which every maximal stable set and every maximal clique intersect. A graph is well-covered if all its maximal stable sets are of the same size, co-well-covered if its complement is well-covered, and…

We study $Q$-polynomial distance-regular graphs from the point of view of what we call descendents, that is to say, those vertex subsets with the property that the width $w$ and dual width $w^*$ satisfy $w+w^*=d$, where $d$ is the diameter…

A graph $\Gamma$ is called edge-regular whenever it is regular and for any two adjacent vertices, the number of their common neighbors is independent of the choice of vertices. A clique $C$ in $\Gamma$ is called regular whenever for any…

Weakly distance-regular digraphs are a natural directed version of distance-regular graphs. In [16], we classified all commutative weakly distance-regular digraphs whose underlying graphs are Hamming graphs, folded n-cubes, or Doob graphs.…

We consider the class of the topologically locally finite (in short TLF) planar vertex-transitive graphs, a class containing in particular all the one-ended planar Cayley graphs and the normal transitive tilings. We characterize these…

A graph $G = (V, E)$ is said to be word-representable if a word $w$ can be formed using the letters of the alphabet $V$ such that for every pair of vertices $x$ and $y$, $xy \in E$ if and only if $x$ and $y$ alternate in $w$. A…

In this paper we give a new characterization of the dual polar graphs, extending the work of Brouwer and Wilbrink on regular near polygons. Also as a consequence of our characterization we confirm a conjecture of the authors on…

We study $G$-vertex-primitive and $(G,s)$-arc-transitive digraphs for almost simple groups $G$ with socle $\mathrm{PSL}_n(q)$. It turns out that $s\leqslant2$ for such digraphs, which provides the first step in determining an upper bound on…

We show that there exist functions $c$ and $g$ such that, if $k$, $n$ and $d$ are positive integers with $d> g(n)$ and $\Gamma$ is a $d$-valent $2$-arc-transitive graph of order $kp^n$ with $p$ a prime, then $p\leqslant kc(d)$. In other…
