An association scheme is called amorphic if every possible fusion of relations gives rise to a fusion scheme. We call a pair of relations fusing if fusing that pair gives rise to a fusion scheme. We define the fusing-relations graph on the…
An association scheme is called amorphic if every possible fusion of relations gives rise to another association scheme. In earlier work, we showed that if an association scheme has at most one relation that is neither strongly regular of…
An association scheme is amorphous if it has as many fusion schemes as possible. Symmetric amorphous schemes were classified by A. V. Ivanov [A. V. Ivanov, Amorphous cellular rings II, in Investigations in algebraic theory of combinatorial…
An amorphic association scheme has the property that any of its fusion is also an association scheme. In this paper we generalize the property to be amorphic to an arbitrary C-algebra and prove that any amorphic C-algebra is determined up…
An association scheme is called partially metric if it has a connected relation whose distance-two relation is also a relation of the scheme. In this paper we determine the symmetric partially metric association schemes with a multiplicity…
In this paper we determine all fusions of the association scheme $\mathcal{A} \otimes \mathcal{A}$, where $\mathcal{A}$ is the symmetric rank $3$ association scheme corresponding to a strongly regular graph. This includes both guaranteed…
A (di)graph $\Gamma$ generates a commutative association scheme $\mathfrak{X}$ if and only if the adjacency matrix of $\Gamma$ generates the Bose-Mesner algebra of $\mathfrak{X}$. In [17, Theorem 1.1], Monzillo and Penji\'{c} proved that,…
This article considers the class of connected 3-colored digraphs. Let $G$ be a 3-colored digraph and $A(G)$ be its adjacency matrix. $G$ is said to be non-singular (resp. singular) if $A(G)$ is a non-singular (resp. singular) matrix. A…
A $k$-graph $\mathcal{G}$ is asymmetric if there does not exist an automorphism on $\mathcal{G}$ other than the identity, and $\mathcal{G}$ is called minimal asymmetric if it is asymmetric but every non-trivial induced sub-hypergraph of…
We present a correspondence between multiplicity-free, self-dual, fusion rings and a digraph, hypergraph pair $(D,H)$. This correspondence is used to provide a complete characterization of all fusion rings corresponding to graphical…
We consider cubic graphs formed with $k \geq 2$ disjoint claws $C_i \sim K_{1, 3}$ ($0 \leq i \leq k-1$) such that for every integer $i$ modulo $k$ the three vertices of degree 1 of $\ C_i$ are joined to the three vertices of degree 1 of…
Let X be a pseudocyclic association scheme in which all the nontrivial relations are strongly regular graphs with the same eigenvalues. We prove that the principal part of the first eigenmatrix of X is a linear combination of an incidence…
In this paper we show that for any fusion $\mathcal{B}$ of an association scheme $\mathcal{A}$, the generalized Hamming scheme $H(n,\mathcal{B})$ is a nontrivial fusion of $H(n,\mathcal{A})$. We analyze the case where $\mathcal{A}$ is the…
For $r \ge 2$, an $r$-uniform hypergraph is called a friendship $r$-hypergraph if every set $R$ of $r$ vertices has a unique 'friend' - that is, there exists a unique vertex $x \notin R$ with the property that for each subset $A \subseteq…
A relational structure R is ultrahomogeneous if every isomorphism of finite induced substructures of R extends to an automorphism of R. We classify the ultrahomogeneous finite binary relational structures with one asymmetric binary relation…
A $k$-uniform hypergraph $M$ is set-homogeneous if it is countable (possibly finite) and whenever two finite induced subhypergraphs $U,V$ are isomorphic there is $g\in Aut(M)$ with $U^g=V$; the hypergraph $M$ is said to be homogeneous if in…
Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices. An induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ is called heavy if there exist two nonadjacent vertices in $H$ with degree sum at least $n$ in $G$. We say that $G$ is $H$-heavy if every induced subgraph of $G$ isomorphic…
In this paper, we investigate hypergroups which arise from association schemes in a canonical way; this class of hypergroups is called realizable. We first study basic algebraic properties of realizable hypergroups. Then we prove that two…
A sunflower is a collection of sets $\{U_1,\ldots, U_n\}$ such that the pairwise intersection $U_i\cap U_j$ is the same for all choices of distinct $i$ and $j$. We study sunflowers of convex open sets in $\mathbb R^d$, and provide a…
A uniform hypergraph is called a sunflower if all of its hyperedges intersect in the same set of vertices. In this paper, we determine the eigenvalues and spectral moments of a sunflower, thereby obtaining an explicit formula for its…
