In this paper we consider the question of when a strongly regular graph with parameters $((s+1)(st+1),s(t+1),s-1,t+1)$ can exist. These parameters arise when the graph is derived from a generalized quadrangle, but there are other examples…

In this paper, we give a complete description of strongly regular graphs with parameters ((n^2+3n-1)^2,n^2(n+3),1,n(n+1)). All possible such graphs are: the lattice graph $L_{3,3}$ with parameters (9,4,1,2), the Brouwer-Haemers graph with…

Edge-girth-regular graphs (abbreviated as $egr$ graphs) are a class of highly regular graphs. More specifically, for integers $v$, $k$, $g$ and $\lambda$ an $egr(v,k,g,\lambda)$ graph is a $k$-regular graph with girth $g$ on $v$ vertices…

Let $\lambda\geq2$ be an integer. For strongly regular graphs with parameters $(v, k, a,c)$ and smallest eigenvalue $-\lambda$, Neumaier gave two bounds on $c$ by using algebraic property of strongly regular graphs. In this paper, we will…

We prove the non-existence of strongly regular graph with parameters $(76,30,8,14)$. We use Euclidean representation of a strongly regular graph together with a new lower bound on the number of 4-cliques to derive strong structural…

A package for the Sage computer algebra system is developed for checking feasibility of a given intersection array for a distance-regular graph. We use this tool to show that there is no distance-regular graph with intersection array…

In this paper, we will give a structure theory for signed graphs with fixed smallest eigenvalue and investigate signed graphs with smallest eigenvalue greater than $-1-\sqrt{2}$. Given a real number $\lambda\leq -1$, we show that the…

Given a simple graph $G$, the {\it irregularity strength} of $G$, denoted by $s(G)$, is the least positive integer $k$ such that there is a weight assignment on edges $f: E(G) \to \{1,2,\dots, k\}$ attributing distinct weighted degrees:…

The Ramsey number $r(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum $N$ such that every red-blue coloring of the edges of the complete graph on $N$ vertices contains a monochromatic copy of $G$. Determining or estimating these numbers is one of the…

A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn on the plane so that each edge is crossed by no more than one other edge (and any pair of crossing edges cross only once). A non-1-planar graph $G$ is minimal if the graph $G-e$ is 1-planar for every…

For a graph G and integer r \geq 1 we denote the family of independent r-sets of V(G) by I^{(r)}(G). A graph G is said to be r-EKR if no intersecting subfamily of I^{(r)}(G) is larger than the largest such family all of whose members…

Coarse graph theory concerns finding 'coarse' analogues of graph theory theorems, replacing disjointness with being far apart. One of the most interesting open questions is to find a coarse analogue of Menger's theorem, which characterizes…

Let $\Gamma$ be a chart, and we denote by $\Gamma_m$ the union of all the edges of label $m$. A chart $\Gamma$ is of type $(2,3,2)$ if there exists a label $m$ such that $w(\Gamma)=7$, $w(\Gamma_m\cap\Gamma_{m+1})=2$,…
