We consider the class ER(n, d, λ) of edge-regular graphs for some n > d > λ, i.e., graphs regular of degree d on n vertices, with each pair of adjacent vertices having λ common neighbors. It has previously been shown that for such graphs with λ > 0 we have n ≥ 3(d − λ) and much has been done to characterize such graphs when equality holds. Here we show that n ≥ 3(d − λ) + 1 if λ > 0 and d is od...

In an attempt to find a strongly regular graph of parameters (99, 14, 1, 2) or to disprove its existence, we studied its possible substructure and constructions.

We report on the complete computer search for a strongly regular graph with parameters (36,15,6,6) and chromatic number six. The result is that no such graph exists.

The Friendship theorem states that if any two people in a party have exactly one common friend, then there exists a politician who is a friend of everybody. In this paper, we generalize the Friendship Theorem. Let λ be any nonnegative integer and μ be any positive integer. Suppose each pair of friends have exactly λ common friends and each pair of strangers have exactly μ common friends in a pa...

A subset of the vertex set of a graph G, S ⊆ V (G), is a (k, τ)-regular set if it induces a k-regular subgraph of G and every vertex not in the subset has τ neighbors in it. This paper is a contribution to the given problem of existence of (k, τ)-regular sets associated with all distinct eigenvalues of integral strongly regular graphs. The minimal idempotents of the Bose-Mesner algebra of stron...

Definition of the strongly regular graphs on 77 and 100 vertices belonging to the simple groups M22 and HiS.

As a fundamental problem in computer vision, graph matching problem can usually be formulated as a Quadratic Programming (QP) problem with doubly stochastic and discrete (integer) constraints. Since it is NP-hard, approximate algorithms are required. In this paper, we present a new algorithm, called Multiplicative Update Graph Matching (MPGM), that develops a multiplicative update technique to ...

We survey the relationships between two-weight linear [n, k] codes over GF(q), projective (n, k, /»„ /»,) sets in PG(£— \,q), and certain strongly regular graphs. We also describe and tabulate essentially all the known examples.

We consider a class of strongly edge reinforced random walks, where the corresponding reinforcement weight function is non-decreasing. It is known by Limic and Tarrès (2006) that the attracting edge emerges with probability 1, whenever the underlying graph is locally bounded. We study the asymptotic behavior of the tail distribution of the (random) time of attraction. In particular, we obtain e...
