A graph is called almost self-complementary if it is isomorphic to one of its almost complements Xc − I, where Xc denotes the complement of X and I a perfect matching (1-factor) in Xc. Almost self-complementary circulant graphs were first studied by Dobson and Šajna in 2004. In this paper we investigate some of the properties and constructions of general almost self-complementary graphs. In par...

A k-uniform hypergraph with vertex set V and edge set E is called t-subset-regular if every t-element subset of V lies in the same number of elements of E. In this paper we establish a necessary condition on n for there to exist a t-subset-regular selfcomplementary k-uniform hypergraph with n vertices. In addition, we show that this necessary condition is also sufficient in the case k = 3 and t...

A graph Γ is self-complementary if its complement is isomorphic to the graph itself. An isomorphism that maps Γ to its complement Γ is called a complementing isomorphism. The majority of this dissertation is intended to present my research results on the study of self-complementary vertex-transitive graphs. I will provide an introductory mini-course for the backgrounds, and then discuss four pr...

A graph is called almost self-complementary if it is isomorphic to the graph obtained from its complement by removing a 1-factor. In this paper, we study a special class of vertex-transitive almost self-complementary graphs called homogeneously almost selfcomplementary. These graphs occur as factors of symmetric index-2 homogeneous factorizations of the “cocktail party graphs” K2n − nK2. We con...

The D-eigenvalues {μ1, μ2, . . . , μn} of a graph G are the eigenvalues of its distance matrix D and form the D-spectrum of G denoted by specD(G) . The D-energy ED(G) of the graph G is the sum of the absolute values of its D-eigenvalues. We describe here the distance spectrum of some self-complementary graphs in the terms of their adjacency spectrum. These results are used to show that there ex...
