We consider the following extension of the concept of adjacent strong edge colourings of graphs without isolated edges. Two distinct vertices which are at distant at most $r$ in a graph are called $r$-adjacent. The least number of colours…

An old conjecture of Bollob\'as and Scott asserts that every Eulerian directed graph with average degree $d$ contains a directed cycle of length at least $\Omega(d)$. The best known lower bound for this problem is $\Omega(d^{1/2})$ by…

In this paper, we use various versions of Lov\'asz extension to systematically derive continuous formulations of problems from discrete mathematics. This will take place in the following context: (1) For combinatorial optimization problems…

The least $k$ admitting a proper edge colouring $c:E\to\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ without isolated edges such that $\sum_{e\ni u}c(e)\neq \sum_{e\ni v}c(e)$ for every $uv\in E$ is denoted by $\chi'_{\Sigma}(G)$. It has been…

We initiate the study of $k$-edge-connected orientations of undirected graphs through edge flips for $k \geq 2$. We prove that in every orientation of an undirected $2k$-edge-connected graph, there exists a sequence of edges such that…

We study for each fixed integer $g \ge 2$, for all primes $\ell$ and $p$ with $\ell \neq p$, finite regular directed graphs associated with the set of equivalence classes of $\ell$-marked principally polarized superspecial abelian varieties…

Recent work in mathematical neuroscience has calculated the directed graph homology of the directed simplicial complex given by the brains sparse adjacency graph, the so called connectome. These biological connectomes show an abundance of…

We derive a lower bound on the smallest singular value of a random $d$-regular matrix, that is, the adjacency matrix of a random $d$-regular directed graph. More precisely, let $C_1<d< c_1 n/\log^2 n$ and let $\mathcal{M}_{n,d}$ be the set…

Let $\Gamma$ be a Cayley graph, or a Cayley sum graph, or a twisted Cayley graph, or a twisted Cayley sum graph, or a vertex-transitive graph. Denote the degree of $\Gamma$ by $d$, its edge Cheeger constant by $\mathfrak{h}_\Gamma$, and its…

McKay proved that the limiting spectral measures of the ensembles of $d$-regular graphs with $N$ vertices converge to Kesten's measure as $N\to\infty$. In this paper we explore the case of weighted graphs. More precisely, given a large…

In 2018, Dankelmann, Gao, and Surmacs [J. Graph Theory, 88(1): 5--17, 2018] established sharp bounds on the oriented diameter of a bridgeless undirected graph and a bridgeless undirected bipartite graph in terms of vertex degree. In this…

Bidirected graphs are a generalisation of directed graphs that arises in the study of undirected graphs with perfect matchings. Menger's famous theorem - the minimum size of a set separating two vertex sets $X$ and $Y$ is the same as the…

Let $G$ be a connected $d$-regular graph of order $n$, where $d\geq3$. Let $\lambda_{2}(G)$ be the second largest eigenvalue of $G$. For even $n$, we show that $G$ contains $\left\lfloor\frac{2}{3}(d-\lambda_{2}(G))\right\rfloor$…

We study the uniqueness question for two inverse problems on graphs. Both problems consist in finding (possibly complex) edge or nodal based quantities from boundary measurements of solutions to the Dirichlet problem associated with a…

We introduce and study analogues of expander and hyperfinite graph sequences in the context of directed acyclic graphs, which we call "extender" and "hypershallow" graph sequences, respectively. Our main result is a probabilistic…

We prove hypergraph variants of the celebrated Alon-Roichman theorem on spectral expansion of sparse random Cayley graphs. One of these variants implies that for every prime $p\geq 3$ and any $\varepsilon > 0$, there exists a set of…

We simplify, to a single integral of dilogarithms, the least tractable O(1/N^3) contribution to the large-N critical exponent $\eta$ of the non-linear sigma-model, and hence $\phi^4$-theory, for any spacetime dimensionality, D. It is the…

A directed dominating set in a directed graph $D$ is a set $S$ of vertices of $V$ such that every vertex $u \in V(D) \setminus S$ has an adjacent vertex $v$ in $S$ with $v$ directed to $u$. The directed domination number of $D$, denoted by…

In this paper, we found the Moore-Penrose generalized inverse of adjacency matrix of an undirected graph, explicitly. We proved that the matrix $R_\lambda= [r_{ij}]$ is nonsingular where $r_{ii}=\frac{1}{\lambda}+ \deg v_i$ and $r_{ij}=\mid…

This paper proposes a simple procedure to decide whether the empirically-observed adjacency or weights matrix, which characterizes the graph underlying a socio-economic network, is sufficiently symmetric (respectively, asymmetric) to…
