We introduce a graph decomposition which exists for all simple, connected graphs $G=(V,E)$. The decomposition $V = A \cup B \cup C$ is such that each vertex in $A$ has more neighbors in $B$ than in $A$ and vice versa. $C$ is `balanced':…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a finite, simple and connected graph. Fix a vertex $x$ of $\Gamma$ which is not a leaf and let $T=T(x)$ denote the Terwilliger algebra of $\Gamma$ with respect to $x$. Assume that the unique irreducible $T$-module with…

The distance matrix $\mathcal{D}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the matrix containing the pairwise distances between vertices. The transmission of a vertex $v_i$ in $G$ is the sum of the distances from $v_i$ to all other vertices and $T(G)$ is the…

In a graph $G$, let $\mu_G(xy)$ denote the number of edges between $x$ and $y$ in $G$. Let $\lambda K_{v,u}$ be the graph $(V\cup U,E)$ with $|V|=v$, $|U|=u$, and \[ \mu_G(xy)=\begin{cases} \lambda &\mbox{if $x\in U$ and $y\in V$ or if…

In this paper, we consider the decomposition of multigraphs under minimum degree constraints and give a unified generalization of several results by various researchers. Let $G$ be a multigraph in which no quadrilaterals share edges with…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a distance-regular graph, with vertex set $X$ and diameter $D\geq 3$. We assume that $\Gamma$ is formally self-dual and $q$-Racah type. We also assume that for each $x \in X$ the subconstituent algebra $T=T(x)$ contains…

In this paper, we study the $q$-distance matrix for a distance-regular graph and show that the $q$-distance matrix of a distance-regular graph with classical parameters ($D, q, \alpha, \beta$) has exactly three distinct eigenvalues, of…

A locally irregular graph is a graph whose adjacent vertices have distinct degrees, a regular graph is a graph where each vertex has the same degree and a locally regular graph is a graph where for every two adjacent vertices u, v, their…

For a nonabelian group G, the non-commuting graph $\Gamma_G$ of $G$ is defined as the graph with vertex set $G-Z(G)$, where $Z(G)$ is the center of $G$, and two distinct vertices of $\Gamma_G$ are adjacent if they do not commute in $G$. In…

A $T$-decomposition of a graph $G$ is a set of edge-disjoint copies of $T$ in $G$ that cover the edge set of $G$. Graham and H\"aggkvist (1989) conjectured that any $2\ell$-regular graph $G$ admits a $T$-decomposition if $T$ is a tree with…

We investigate connections between the symmetries (automorphisms) of a graph and its spectral properties. Whenever a graph has a symmetry, i.e. a nontrivial automorphism $\phi$, it is possible to use $\phi$ to decompose any matrix…

We consider decompositions of digraphs into edge-disjoint paths and describe their connection with the $n$-th Weyl algebra of differential operators. This approach gives a graph-theoretic combinatorial view of the normal ordering problem…

We consider the Norton algebra associated with a $Q$-polynomial primitive idempotent of the adjacency matrix for a distance-regular graph. We obtain a formula for the Norton algebra product that we find attractive.

Consider two simple graphs, G1 and G2, with their respective vertex sets V(G1) and V(G2). The Kronecker product forms a new graph with a vertex set V(G1) X V(G2). In this new graph, two vertices, (x, y) and (u, v), are adjacent if and only…

A Hamilton cycle in a graph $\Gamma$ is a cycle passing through every vertex of $\Gamma$. A Hamiltonian decomposition of $\Gamma$ is a partition of its edge set into disjoint Hamilton cycles. One of the oldest results in graph theory is…

Recently, we have introduced and modified two graph-decomposition theorems based on a new graph product, motivated by applications in the context of synchronising periodic real-time processes. This vertex-removing synchronised product…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple undirected graph with $n$ vertices then a set partition $\pi=\{V_1, ..., V_k\}$ of the vertex set of $G$ is a connected set partition if each subgraph $G[V_j]$ induced by the blocks $V_j$ of $\pi$ is connected for…

A Shilla distance-regular graph G (say with valency k) is a distance-regular graph with diameter 3 such that its second largest eigenvalue equals to a3. We will show that a3 divides k for a Shilla distance-regular graph G, and for G we…

Let $\Gamma$ be a graph with diameter at least two. Then $\Gamma$ is said to be $1$-homogeneous (in the sense of Nomura) whenever for every pair of adjacent vertices $x$ and $y$ in $\Gamma$, the distance partition of the vertex set of…

There are several questions one may ask about polynomials $q_m(x)=q_m(x;t)=\sum_{n=0}^mt^mp_n(x)$ attached to a family of orthogonal polynomials $\{p_n(x)\}_{n\ge0}$. In this note we draw attention to the naturalness of this partial-sum…
