چکیده

A regular graph G is called vertex transitive if the automorphism group of G contains a single orbit. In this paper we define and consider another class of regular graphs called neighborhood regular graphs abbreviated NR. In particular, let G be a graph and N [v] be the closed neighborhood of a vertex v of G. Denote by G(N [v]) the subgraph of G induced by N [v]. We call G NR if G(N [v]) ∼= G(N [v′]) for each pair of vertices v and v′ in V (G). A vertex transitive graph is necessarily NR. The converse, however, is in general not true as is shown by the union of the cycles C4∪C5. Here we provide a method for constructing an infinite class of connected NR graphs which are not vertex transitive. A NR graph G is called neighborhood regular relative to N if N [v] ∼= N for each v ∈ V (G). Necessary conditions for N are given along with several theorems which address the problem of finding the smallest order (size) graph that is NR relative to a given N . A table of solutions to this problem is given for all graphs N up to order five.

Spectra of some new extended corona

For two graphs $mathrm{G}$ and $mathrm{H}$ with $n$ and $m$ vertices, the corona $mathrm{G}circmathrm{H}$ of $mathrm{G}$ and $mathrm{H}$ is the graph obtained by taking one copy of $mathrm{G}$ and $n$ copies of $mathrm{H}$ and then joining the $i^{th}$ vertex of $mathrm{G}$ to every vertex in the $i^{th}$ copy of $mathrm{H}$. The neighborhood corona $mathrm{G}starmathrm{H}$ of $mathrm{G}$ and $...

Constructing and classifying neighborhood anti-Sperner graphs

For a simple graph G let NG(u) be the (open) neighborhood of vertex u ∈ V (G). Then G is neighborhood anti-Sperner (NAS) if for every u there is a v ∈ V (G)\{u} with NG(u) ⊆ NG(v). And a graph H is neighborhood distinct (ND) if every neighborhood is distinct, i.e., if NH(u) 6= NH(v) when u 6= v, for all u and v ∈ V (H). In Porter and Yucas [3] a characterization of regular NAS graphs was given:...

Disconnecting strongly regular graphs

In this paper, we show that the minimum number of vertices whose removal disconnects a connected strongly regular graph into non-singleton components, equals the size of the neighborhood of an edge for many graphs. These include blocks graphs of Steiner 2-designs, many Latin square graphs and strongly regular graphs whose intersection parameters are at most a quarter of their valency.

On common neighborhood graphs II

Let G be a simple graph with vertex set V (G). The common neighborhood graph or congraph of G, denoted by con(G), is a graph with vertex set V (G), in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if they have at least one common neighbor in G. We compute the congraphs of some composite graphs. Using these results, the congraphs of several special graphs are determined.

New Feasibility Conditions for Directed Strongly Regular Graphs

We prove two results for directed strongly regular graphs that have an eigenvalue of multiplicity less than k, the common out-degree of each vertex. The first bounds the size of an independent set, and the second determines an eigenvalue of the subgraph on the out-neighborhood of a vertex. Both lead to new nonexistence results for parameter sets.
