The core of a complementary prism

M Orel - Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics, 2023 - Springer
The complementary prism Γ Γ¯ is constructed from the disjoint union of a graph Γ and its
complement Γ¯ if an edge is added between each pair of identical vertices in Γ and Γ¯. It …

A family of non-Cayley cores based on vertex-transitive or strongly regular self-complementary graphs

M Orel - arXiv preprint arXiv:2110.10416, 2021 - arxiv.org
Given a finite simple graph $\Gamma $ on $ n $ vertices its complementary prism is the
graph $\Gamma\bar {\Gamma} $ that is obtained from $\Gamma $ and its complement $\bar …

More Tales of Hoffman: bounds for the vector chromatic number of a graph

P Wocjan, C Elphick, D Anekstein - arXiv preprint arXiv:1812.02613, 2018 - arxiv.org
Let $\chi (G) $ denote the chromatic number of a graph and $\chi_v (G) $ denote the vector

A vector t-coloring of a graph is an assignment of real vectors p_1, ..., p_n p 1,…, pn to its
vertices such that p_i^ Tp_i= t-1, pi T pi= t-1, for all i= 1, ..., ni= 1,…, n and p_i^ Tp_j ≤-1 pi T …

Spectral lower bounds for the orthogonal and projective ranks of a graph

P Wocjan, C Elphick - arXiv preprint arXiv:1806.02734, 2018 - arxiv.org
The orthogonal rank of a graph $ G=(V, E) $ is the smallest dimension $\xi $ such that there
exist non-zero column vectors $ x_v\in\mathbb {C}^\xi $ for $ v\in V $ satisfying the …

Homomorphisms of strongly regular graphs

DE Roberson - Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, 2016 - Elsevier
We prove that if G and H are primitive strongly regular graphs with the same parameters and
ϕ is a homomorphism from G to H, then ϕ is either an isomorphism or a coloring …

Hoffman colorings

T van Veluw - arXiv preprint arXiv:2407.02544, 2024 - arxiv.org
We study equality in the Hoffman bound for the chromatic number and Hoffman colorings in
regular and irregular graphs. We investigate the connection between Hoffman colorability …

Combinatorial and geometric dualities in graph homomorphism optimization problems

NB Proença - 2021 - teses.usp.br
A graph homomorphism is a function between the vertex set of two graphs which maps pairs
of adjacent vertices to pairs of adjacent vertices. Many graph parameters can be expressed …
