چکیده
Algebraic graph theory comprises both the study of algebraic objects arising in connection with graphs, for example, automorphism groups of graphs along with the use of algebraic tools to establish interesting properties of combinatorial objects. One of the oldest themes in the area is the investigation of the relation between properties of a graph and the spectrum of its adjacency matrix. A central topic and important source of tools is the theory of association schemes. An association scheme is, roughly speaking, a collection of graphs on a common vertex set which fit together in a highly regular fashion. These arise regularly in connection with extremal structures: such structures often have an unexpected degree of regularity and, because of this, often give rise to an association scheme. This in turn leads to a semisimple commutative algebra and the representation theory of this algebra provides useful restrictions on the underlying combinatorial object. Thus in coding theory we look for codes that are as large as possible, since such codes are most effective in transmitting information over noisy channels. The theory of association schemes provides the most effective means for determining just how large is actually possible; this theory rests on Delsarte’s thesis [4], which showed how to use schemes to translate the problem into a question that be solved by linear programming.

THE (△,□)-EDGE GRAPH G△,□ OF A GRAPH G
To a simple graph $G=(V,E)$, we correspond a simple graph $G_{triangle,square}$ whose vertex set is ${{x,y}: x,yin V}$ and two vertices ${x,y},{z,w}in G_{triangle,square}$ are adjacent if and only if ${x,z},{x,w},{y,z},{y,w}in Vcup E$. The graph $G_{triangle,square}$ is called the $(triangle,square)$-edge graph of the graph $G$. In this paper, our ultimate goal is to provide a link between the ...

Let $G$ be a non-abelian group and let $Z(G)$ be the center of $G$. Associate with $G$ there is agraph $Gamma_G$ as follows: Take $Gsetminus Z(G)$ as vertices of$Gamma_G$ and joint two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ whenever$yxneq yx$. $Gamma_G$ is called the non-commuting graph of $G$. In recent years many interesting works have been done in non-commutative graph of groups. Computing the clique...
متن کاملSpectral Graph Theory and Applications WS 2011 / 2012 Lecture 2 : Spectra of Graphs
Our goal is to use the properties of the adjacency/Laplacian matrix of graphs to first understand the structure of the graph and, based on these insights, to design efficient algorithms. The study of algebraic properties of graphs is called algebraic graph theory. One of the most useful algebraic properties of graphs are the eigenvalues (and eigenvectors) of the adjacency/Laplacian matrix.

Let g be a fixed element of a finite group G. We introduce the g-noncommuting graph of G whose vertex set is whole elements of the group G and two vertices x,y are adjacent whenever [x,y] g and [y,x] g. We denote this graph by . In this paper, we present some graph theoretical properties of g-noncommuting graph. Specially, we investigate about its planarity and regularity, its clique number a...
