We consider a class of graphs subject to certain restrictions, including the finiteness of diameters. Any surjective mapping $\phi:\Gamma\to\Gamma'$ between graphs from this class is shown to be an isomorphism provided that the following…

Assume that $G$ is a finite group and let $a$ and $b$ be non-negative integers. We define an undirected graph $\Gamma_{a,b}(G)$ whose vertices correspond to the elements of $G^a\cup G^b$ and in which two tuples $(x_1,\dots,x_a)$ and…

Motivated by classical notions of partial convexity, biconvexity, and bilinear matrix inequalities, we investigate the theory of free sets that are defined by (low degree) noncommutative matrix polynomials with constrained terms. Given a…

A graph $G$ is defined encapsulating the number theoretic notion of the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic. We then provide a graph theoretic approach to the fundamental results on the coprimality of two natural numbers, through the use of…

Let $p$ be a real number greater than one and let $\Gamma$ be a graph of bounded degree. We investigate links between the $p$-harmonic boundary of $\Gamma$ and the $D_p$-massive subsets of $\Gamma$. In particular, if there are $n$ pairwise…

Let $\Gamma$ be the fundamental group of a closed orientable surface of genus at least two. Consider the composition of a uniformly random element of $\mathrm{Hom}(\Gamma,S_n)$ with the $(n-1)$-dimensional irreducible representation of…

In this paper,we studied some properties of the Fibonacci map and find a property of this map related to the notation of principal nest. And weproved this property with some additional conditions equals the original definition of Fibonacci…

In a graph $\Gamma$, a perfect code is an independent set $C$ with the property that every vertex not in $C$ is adjacent to a unique vertex in $C$, and a total perfect code is a set $C$ of vertices of $\Gamma$ such that every vertex of…

Using a notation of corner between edges when graph has a fixed rotation, i.e. cyclical order of edges around vertices, we define combinatorial objects - combinatorial maps as pairs of permutations, one for vertices and one for faces.…

We consider a primitive distance-regular graph $\Gamma$ with diameter at least $3$. We use the intersection numbers of $\Gamma$ to find a positive semidefinite matrix $G$ with integer entries. We show that $G$ has determinant zero if and…

Let us call a simple graph on $n\geq 2$ vertices a prime gap graph if its vertex degrees are $1$ and the first $n-1$ prime gaps. We show that such a graph exists for every large $n$, and in fact for every $n\geq 2$ if we assume the Riemann…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group. Assuming rational injectivity of the Baum-Connes assembly map, we provide new lower bounds on the rank of the positive scalar curvature bordism group and the relative group in Stolz' positive scalar…

Robertson and Seymour proved two fundamental theorems about tangles in graphs: the tree-of-tangles theorem, which says that every graph has a tree-decomposition such that distinguishable tangles live in different nodes of the tree, and the…

Tanglegrams are a special class of graphs appearing in applications concerning cospeciation and coevolution in biology and computer science. They are formed by identifying the leaves of two rooted binary trees. We give an explicit formula…

Juggling patterns can be described by a closed walk in a (directed) state graph, where each vertex (or state) is a landing pattern for the balls and directed edges connect states that can occur consecutively. The number of such patterns of…

The Grundy number of a graph is the maximal number of colors attained by a first-fit coloring of the graph. The class of Cameron graphs is the Seidel switching class of cographs. In this paper we show that the Grundy number is computable in…

The principal ratio of a connected graph, denoted $\gamma(G)$, is the ratio of the maximum and minimum entries of its first eigenvector. Cioab\u{a} and Gregory conjectured that the graph on $n$ vertices maximizing $\gamma(G)$ is a kite…

The {\em distinguishing number} of a group $G$ acting faithfully on a set $V$ is the least number of colors needed to color the elements of $V$ so that no non-identity element of the group preserves the coloring. The {\em distinguishing…

In Chapter 1 we fully characterise pairs of finite graphs which form a gap in the full homomorphism order. This leads to a simple proof of the existence of generalised duality pairs. We also discuss how such results can be carried to…

Suppose $\Gamma$ is a finite simple graph. If $D$ is a dominating set of $\Gamma$ such that each $x\in D$ is contained in the set of vertices of an odd cycle of $\Gamma$, then we say that $D$ is an odd dominating set for $\Gamma$. For a…
