We characterise the form of all simple, finite graphs for which the girth of the graph is equal to the circumference of the graph. We apply this to prove a bound on the number of edges in such a graph.

For a finite simple graph $G$, say $G$ is of dimension $n$, and write $\dim(G) = n$, if $n$ is the smallest integer such that $G$ can be represented as a unit-distance graph in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Define $G$ to be \emph{dimension-critical} if…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $n$ a positive integer. $\pi(n)$ denotes the set of all prime divisors of $n$ and $\pi(G)=\pi(|G|)$. The prime graph $\Gamma(G)$ of $G$, defined by Grenberg and Kegel, is a graph whose vertex set is $\pi(G)$, two…

In this paper we are concerned with various graph invariants (girth, diameter, expansion constants, eigenvalues of the Laplacian, tree number) and their analogs for weighted graphs -- weighing the graph changes a combinatorial problem to…

We give a necessary and sufficient graph-theoretic characterization of toric ideals of graphs that are unimodular. As a direct consequence, we provide the structure of unimodular graphs by proving that the incidence matrix of a graph $G$ is…

Graph invariants provide a powerful analytical tool for investigation of abstract structures of graphs. They, combined in convenient relations, carry global and general information about a graph and its various substructures such as cycle…

We associate each endomorphism of a finite cyclic group with a digraph and study many properties of this digraph, including its adjacent matrix and automorphism group.

A majority digraph is a finite simple digraph $G=(V,\to)$ such that there exist finite sets $A_v$ for the vertices $v\in V$ with the following property: $u\to v$ if and only if "more than half of the $A_u$ are $A_v$". That is, $u\to v$ if…

In this paper, we first characterize which generalized lexicographic products are divisor graphs. As applications, we show that power graphs, reduced power graphs and order graphs are all divisor graphs, which also implies the main result…

The distinguishing number $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has a vertex labeling with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. We say that a graph $G$ is $d$-distinguishing critical, if…

A finite simple connected graph $G$ with maximum degree $k$ is $k$-critical if it has chromatic index $\chi'(G)=k+1$ and $\chi'(G-e)=k$ for every edge $e\in E(G)$. Bej and the first author raised the question whether every $k$-critical…

Given a digraph D, the complementarity spectrum of the digraph is defined as the set of complementarity eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. This complementarity spectrum has been shown to be useful in several fields, particularly in…

In this paper we compute the critical group of the Kneser graph $KG(n,2)$. This is equivalent to computing the Smith normal form of a Laplacian matrix of this graph.

Critical points of an invariant function may or may not be symmetric. We prove, however, that if a symmetric critical point exists, those adjacent to it are generically symmetry breaking. This mathematical mechanism is shown to carry…

We give a characterization of isomorphisms between Schreier graphs in terms of the groups, subgroups and generating systems. This characterization may be thought as a graph analog of Mostow's rigidity theorem for hyperbolic manifolds. This…

We characterize all translation invariant half planar maps satisfying a certain natural domain Markov property. For p-angulations with p \ge 3 where all faces are simple, we show that these form a one-parameter family of measures…

We define and investigate the property of being `exponent-critical' for a finite group. A finite group is said to be exponent-critical if its exponent is not the least common multiple of the exponents of its proper non-abelian subgroups. We…

A graph $G$ of order $n$ is said to be $k$-factor-critical for integers $1\leq k < n$, if the removal of any $k$ vertices results in a graph with a perfect matching. $1$- and $2$-factor-critical graphs are the well-known factor-critical and…

The isomorphism problem for digraphs is a fundamental problem in graph theory. This problem for Cayley digraphs has been extensively investigated over the last half a century. In this paper, we consider this problem for $m$-Cayley digraphs…

The {\em power index} $\Theta(\Gamma)$ of a graph $\Gamma$ is the least order of a group $G$ such that $\Gamma$ can embed into the power graph of $G$. Furthermore, this group $G$ is {\em $\Gamma$-optimal} if $G$ has order $\Theta(\Gamma)$.…
