In this paper, we give a characterization of unicyclic graphs with diameter at most 4 which are A-vertex magic. Moreover, let G be a bicyclic graph of diameter 3, then G is group vertex magic if and only if G = M11(0, 0).

In this paper we enumerate $k$-noncrossing tangled-diagrams. A tangled-diagram is a labeled graph whose vertices are $1,...,n$ have degree $\le 2$, and are arranged in increasing order in a horizontal line. Its arcs are drawn in the upper…

Let $\Gamma=(K_n,H)$ be a signed complete graph whose negative edges induce a subgraph $H$. Let $A(\Gamma)$ be the adjacency matrix of the signed graph $\Gamma$. The largest eigenvalue of $A(\Gamma)$ is called the index of $\Gamma$. In this…

We consider $n\times n$ real-valued matrices $A = (a_{ij})$ satisfying $a_{ii} \geq a_{i,i+1} \geq \dots \geq a_{in} \geq a_{i1} \geq \dots \geq a_{i,i-1}$ for $i = 1,\dots,n$. With such a matrix $A$ we associate a directed graph $G(A)$. We…

Consider a directed multigraph $D$ that is balanced (i.e., at each vertex, the indegree equals the outdegree). Let $A$ be its set of arcs. Fix an integer $k$. Let $s$ be a vertex of $D$. We show that the number of $k$-element subsets $B$ of…

An edge of a graph of order $n$ is pancyclic if it lies in a cycle of every length $3,\ldots,n$. A graph of order $n$ is vertex-pancyclic if every vertex lies in a cycle of every length $3,\ldots,n$. Recently, Li and Zhan proved that every…

We find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the n by n matrix with (i,j) entry \binom(i-1,n-j), establishing a conjecture of Peele and Stanica. Curiously, the eigenvectors can be chosen to form a matrix which is its own inverse.

We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of $k$-uniform hypergraphs with a given degree sequence, for a wide range of parameters. In particular, we find a formula that is asymptotically equal to the number of $d$-regular $k$-uniform…

An oriented graph is said positively multiplicative when its adjacency matrix $A$ embeds in a matrix algebra admitting a basis $\mathsf{B}$ with nonnegative structure constants in which the matrix of the multiplication by $A$ coincides with…

A theory of orientation on gain graphs (voltage graphs) is developed to generalize the notion of orientation on graphs and signed graphs. Using this orientation scheme, the line graph of a gain graph is studied. For a particular family of…

The dicycle transversal number t(D) of a digraph D is the minimum size of a dicycle transversal of D, i. e. a set T of vertices of D such that D-T is acyclic. We study the following problem: Given a digraph D, decide if there is a dicycle B…

Associative spectra of graph algebras are examined with the help of homomorphisms of DFS trees. Undirected graphs are classified according to the associative spectra of their graph algebras; there are only three distinct possibilities:…

A signed graph is a graph where the edges are assigned labels of either "$+$" or "$-$". The sign of a cycle in the graph is the product of the signs of its edges. We equip each signed complete graph with a vector whose entries are the…
