Let {\Gamma} be a directed graph and Inv({\Gamma}) be the graph inverse semigroup of {\Gamma}. Luo and Wang [7] showed that the congruence lattice C(Inv({\Gamma})) of any graph inverse semigroup Inv({\Gamma}) is upper semimodular, but not…

The power graph $\Gamma_G$ of a finite group $G$ is the graph with the vertex set $G$, where two distinct elements are adjacent if one is a power of the other. An $L(2, 1)$-labeling of a graph $\Gamma$ is an assignment of labels from…

A non-complete geometric distance-regular graph is the point graph of a partial geometry in which the set of lines is a set of Delsarte cliques. In this paper, we prove that for fixed integer $m\geq 2$, there are only finitely many…

The hypergraph regularity lemma -- the extension of Szemer\'edi's graph regularity lemma to the setting of $k$-uniform hypergraphs -- is one of the most celebrated combinatorial results obtained in the past decade. By now there are several…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and $S$ be a subset of $G\setminus\{1\}$ such that $S=S^{-1}$. Suppose that $Cay(G,S)$ is the Cayley graph on $G$ with respect to the set $S$ which is the graph whose vertex set is $G$ and two vertices $a,b\in G$…

The Terwilliger algebra $T(x)$ of a finite connected simple graph $\Gamma$ with respect to a vertex $x$ is the complex semisimple matrix algebra generated by the adjacency matrix $A$ of $\Gamma$ and the diagonal matrices…

Let $\Gamma$ be a function that maps two arbitrary graphs $G$ and $H$ to a non-negative real number such that $$\alpha(G^{\boxtimes n})\leq \alpha(H^{\boxtimes n})\Gamma(G,H)^n$$ where $n$ is any natural number and $G^{\boxtimes n}$ is the…

Let $\Gamma$ be a {Conway 99-graph}, that is, a strongly regular graph with parameters $(99,14,1,2)$. In Makhnev and Minakova (On automorphisms of strongly regular graphs with parameters $\lambda =1$, $\mu= 2$, Discrete Math.\ Appl.\ 14 (2)…

It is known that for any graph $G,$ $\gamma (G\square P_2)\geq \gamma (G)$ where $\gamma$ stands for the domination number, $\square$ for the cartesian product and $P_2$ is the path graph on two vertices. In an attempt to prove Vizing's…

Let $\Gamma$ be a graph endowed with a reversible Markov kernel $p$, and $P$ the associated operator, defined by $Pf(x)=\sum_y p(x,y)f(y)$. Denote by $\nabla$ the discrete gradient. We give necessary and/or sufficient conditions on $\Gamma$…

In 1977, Hoffman gave a characterization of graphs with smallest eigenvalue at least $-2$. In this paper we generalize this result to graphs with smaller smallest eigenvalue. For the proof, we use a combinatorial object named Hoffman graph,…

Two simple undirected graphs are cospectral if their respective adjacency matrices have the same multiset of eigenvalues. Cospectrality yields an equivalence relation on the family of graphs which is provably weaker than isomorphism. In…

Let $SGL_n(\mathbb{F}_2)$ be the set of all invertible $n\times n$ symmetric matrices over the binary field $\mathbb{F}_2$. Let $\Gamma_n$ be the graph with the vertex set $SGL_n(\mathbb{F}_2)$ where a pair of matrices $\{A,B\}$ form an…

Let $\Gamma=(X,\mathcal{R})$ denote a finite, simple, connected, and undirected non-bipartite graph with vertex set $X$ and edge set $\mathcal{R}$. Fix a vertex $x \in X$, and define $\mathcal{R}_f = \mathcal{R} \setminus \{yz \mid…

We consider the isomorphism problem for hypergraphs taking as input two hypergraphs over the same set of vertices $V$ and a permutation group $\Gamma$ over domain $V$, and asking whether there is a permutation $\gamma \in \Gamma$ that…

A graph $H$ is \emph{common} if the number of monochromatic copies of $H$ in a 2-edge-colouring of the complete graph $K_n$ is asymptotically minimised by the random colouring, or equivalently, $t_H(W)+t_H(1-W)\geq 2^{1-e(H)}$ holds for…

For every connected graph $G$ and surface $S$, we consider the well-known string of inequalities $\delta_S(G) \leq \mu_S(G) \leq \nu_S(G)$, where $\mu$ and $\nu$ denote skewness and crossing number and $\delta$ is the Euler-formula lower…

Menger's well-known theorem from 1927 characterizes when it is possible to find $k$ vertex-disjoint paths between two sets of vertices in a graph $G$. Recently, Georgakopoulos and Papasoglu and, independently, Albrechtsen, Huynh, Jacobs,…

In this paper we consider a distance-regular graph $\Gamma$. Fix a vertex $x$ of $\Gamma$ and consider the corresponding subconstituent algebra $T$. The algebra $T$ is the $\mathbb{C}$-algebra generated by the Bose-Mesner algebra $M$ of…

For an arbitrary normed space $\mathcal X$ over a field $\mathbb F \in \{ \mathbb R, \mathbb C \}$, we define the directed graph $\Gamma(\mathcal X)$ induced by Birkhoff-James orthogonality on the projective space $\mathbb P(\mathcal X)$,…
