We investigate the following modification of a problem posed by Karoński, Łuczak and Thomason [J. Combin. Theory, Ser. B 91 (2004) 151–157]. Let us assign positive integers to the edges and vertices of a simple graph $G$. As a result we obtain a vertex-colouring of $G$ by sums of weights assigned to the vertex and its adjacent edges. Can we obtain a proper colouring using only weights 1 and 2 for an arbitrary $G$? We know that the answer is yes if $G$ is a 3-colourable, complete or 4-regular graph. Moreover, it is enough to use weights from $1$ to $11$, as well as from $1$ to $\lfloor{\chi(G)\over2}\rfloor+1$, for an arbitrary graph $G$. Here we show that weights from $1$ to $7$ are enough for all regular graphs.

Graphs and Algorithms International audience Let us assign positive integers to the edges and vertices of a simple graph G. As a result we obtain a vertex-colouring of G with integers, where a vertex colour is simply a sum of the weight assigned to the vertex itself and the weights of its incident edges. Can we obtain a proper colouring using only weights 1 and 2 for an arbitrary G? We give a positive answer when G is a 3-colourable, complete or 4-regular graph. We also show that it is enough to C use weights from 1 to 11, as well as from 1 to 11 [chi(G)/2] + 1, for an arbitrary graph G.

AbstractThe expansion constant of a simple graph G of order n is defined as where $E(S, \overline {S})$ denotes the set of edges in G between the vertex subset S and its complement $\overline {S}$. An expander family is a sequence {Gi} of d-regular graphs of increasing order such that h(Gi)>ϵ for some fixed ϵ>0. Existence of such families is known in the literature, but explicit construction is nontrivial. A folklore theorem states that there is no expander family of circulant graphs only. In this note, we provide an elementary proof of this fact by first estimating the second largest eigenvalue of a circulant graph, and then employing Cheeger’s inequalities where G is a d-regular graph and λ2(G) denotes the second largest eigenvalue of G. Moreover, the associated equality cases are discussed.

Let $G$ be a simple graph with no isolated edges and at most one isolated vertex. For a positive integer $w$, a $w$-weighting of $G$ is a map $f:E(G)\rightarrow \{1,2,\ldots,w\}$. An irregularity strength of $G$, $s(G)$, is the smallest $w$ such that there is a $w$-weighting of $G$ for which $\sum_{e:u\in e}f(e)\neq\sum_{e:v\in e}f(e)$ for all pairs of different vertices $u,v\in V(G)$. A conjecture by Faudree and Lehel says that there is a constant $c$ such that $s(G)\le{n\over d}+c$ for each $d$-regular graph $G$, $d\ge 2$. We show that $s(G) < 16{n\over d}+6$. Consequently, we improve the results by Frieze, Gould, Karoński and Pfender (in some cases by a $\log n$ factor) in this area, as well as the recent result by Cuckler and Lazebnik.

For a simple graph G with no isolated edges and at most, one isolated vertex, a labeling φ:E(G)→{1,2,…,k} of positive integers to the edges of G is called irregular if the weights of the vertices, defined as wtφ(v)=∑u∈N(v)φ(uv), are all different. The irregularity strength of a graph G is known as the maximal integer k, minimized over all irregular labelings, and is set to ∞ if no such labeling exists. In this paper, we determine the exact value of the irregularity strength and the modular irregularity strength of fan graphs.

Abstract Magnant and Martin conjectured that the vertex set of any d-regular graph G on n vertices can be partitioned into $n / (d+1)$ paths (there exists a simple construction showing that this bound would be best possible). We prove this conjecture when $d = \Omega(n)$ , improving a result of Han, who showed that in this range almost all vertices of G can be covered by $n / (d+1) + 1$ vertex-disjoint paths. In fact our proof gives a partition of V(G) into cycles. We also show that, if $d = \Omega(n)$ and G is bipartite, then V(G) can be partitioned into n/(2d) paths (this bound is tight for bipartite graphs).

Abstract Given a finite group G with a normal subgroup N, the simple graph $\Gamma _{\textit {G}}( \textit {N} )$ is a graph whose vertices are of the form $|x^G|$ , where $x\in {N\setminus {Z(G)}}$ and $x^G$ is the G-conjugacy class of N containing the element x. Two vertices $|x^G|$ and $|y^G|$ are adjacent if they are not coprime. We prove that, if $\Gamma _G(N)$ is a connected incomplete regular graph, then $N= P \times {A}$ where P is a p-group, for some prime p, $A\leq {Z(G)}$ and $\textbf {Z}(N)\not = N\cap \textbf {Z}(G)$ .

In 2015, the results were obtained for the maximum number of vertices nk in regular graphs of a given order k with a diameter 2: n2 = 5, n3 = 10, n4 = 15. In this paper, we investigate a similar question about the largest number of vertices npk in a primitive regular graph of order k with exponent 2. All primitive regular graphs with exponent 2, except for the complete one, also have diameter d = 2. The following values were obtained for primitive regular graphs with exponent 2: np2 = 3, np3 = 4, np4 = 11.

In (3) Tutte showed that the order of a regular graph of degree d and even girth g > 4 is greater than or equal toHere the girth of a graph is the length of the shortest circuit. It was shown in (2) that this lower bound cannot be attained for regular graphs of degree > 2 for g ≠ 6, 8, or 12. When this lower bound is attained, the graph is called minimal. In a group-theoretic setting a similar situation arose and it was noticed by Gleason that minimal regular graphs of girth 12 could be constructed from certain groups. Here we construct these graphs making only incidental use of group theory. Also we give what is believed to be an easier construction of minimal regular graphs of girth 8 than is given in (2). These results are contained in the following two theorems.

This article studied spectrum of strongly regular graph. This spectrum can be determined by the number of walk with lenght l on connected simple graph, equation of square adjacency matrix and eigen value of strongly regular graph.

Let $d\geq 3$ be a fixed integer.   We give an asympotic formula for the expected number of spanning trees in a uniformly random $d$-regular graph with $n$ vertices. (The asymptotics are as $n\to\infty$, restricted to even $n$ if $d$ is odd.) We also obtain the asymptotic distribution of the number of spanning trees in a uniformly random cubic graph, and conjecture that the corresponding result holds for arbitrary (fixed) $d$. Numerical evidence is presented which supports our conjecture.
