On the Maximum Diameter of a Class of Distance-regular Graphs

چکیده

If a graph attains the bound (1.1) it is called a Moore graph if g is odd and a generalised polygon if g is even. A lot of work has been done on the classification of these graphs. Moore graphs have been studied by Hoffman and Singleton [8], Bannai and Ito [1], and Damerell [5]. Generalised polygons have been studied by Feit and Higman [7], Benson [3], and Singleton [9]. Biggs ([4]; Chapter 23) considered both types of graph as special cases of a more general family of distanceregular graphs. In this paper, we shall study this enlarged family of graphs. We shall prove that (apart from some well-known exceptions) none of them have diameter greater than 5.

D-Spectrum and D-Energy of Complements of Iterated Line Graphs of Regular Graphs

The D-eigenvalues {µ1,…,µp} of a graph G are the eigenvalues of its distance matrix D and form its D-spectrum. The D-energy, ED(G) of G is given by ED (G) =∑i=1p |µi|. Two non cospectral graphs with respect to D are said to be D-equi energetic if they have the same D-energy. In this paper we show that if G is an r-regular graph on p vertices with 2r ≤ p - 1, then the complements of iterated lin...

On reverse degree distance of unicyclic graphs

The reverse degree distance of a connected graph $G$ is defined in discrete mathematical chemistry as [ r (G)=2(n-1)md-sum_{uin V(G)}d_G(u)D_G(u), ] where $n$, $m$ and $d$ are the number of vertices, the number of edges and the diameter of $G$, respectively, $d_G(u)$ is the degree of vertex $u$, $D_G(u)$ is the sum of distance between vertex $u$ and all other vertices of $G$, and $V(G)$ is the...

On Diameter of Line Graphs

The diameter of a connected graph $G$, denoted by $diam(G)$, is the maximum distance between any pair of vertices of $G$. Let $L(G)$ be the line graph of $G$. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which for a given integer $k geq 2$, $diam(L(G)) leq k$.

New bounds on proximity and remoteness in graphs

The average distance of a vertex $v$ of a connected graph $G$is the arithmetic mean of the distances from $v$ to allother vertices of $G$. The proximity $pi(G)$ and the remoteness $rho(G)$of $G$ are defined as the minimum and maximum averagedistance of the vertices of $G$. In this paper we investigate the difference between proximity or remoteness and the classical distanceparameters diameter a...

Partially Distance-regular Graphs and Partially Walk-regular Graphs∗

We study partially distance-regular graphs and partially walkregular graphs as generalizations of distance-regular graphs and walkregular graphs respectively. We conclude that the partially distanceregular graphs can be viewed as some extremal graphs of partially walk-regular graphs. In the special case that the graph is assumed to be regular with four distinct eigenvalues, a well known class o...
