Prove $G$ is regular if $d(u, v)$ is $x$ for adjacent $u$ and $v$ and is $y \ge 2$ otherwise

Prove $G$ is regular if $d(u, v)$ is $x$ for adjacent $u$ and $v$ and is $y \ge 2$ otherwise. Here $d(u, v)$ denotes the number of common adjacent vertices between $u$ and $v$. PS: I've been working ...

Are "ultra-regular" bipartite graphs complete?

Let $X, Y$ be non-empty, disjoint sets and let $R\subseteq X\times Y$ be a binary relation. For $x\in X$, we set $R(x) = \{y\in Y: (x,y) \in R\}$ and for $y\in Y$, let $R^{-1}(y) = \{x\in X:(x,y)\in R\...

A question related to contiguity of random regular graphs

I am looking for a reference for the following fact. Let $r\geq 3$ be constant, let $G(n,r-2)$ be a random (simple) $(r-2)$-regular graph and let $H(n)$ be an independent random Hamiltonian cycle (on ...

Existence of certain regular graphs

Question: what can be said about the existence of $2k$ regular graphs, $1\lt k$ that have a $1$-factor and a $2$-factor? Provided their existence, what is/are the smallest for $k$? The graphs must be ...

Random graphs constructed by many large matchings

Let $G_{n,d}$ be $d$-regular random graph. We know that for $d \geq 3$, $G \in G_{n,d}$ a.a.s. has a $1$-factorisation when $n$ is even. So, the resulting graph that obtained from randomly choosing $d$...

Tree width and clique width of regular graphs

Consider a $k$ regular graph of $n$ vertices, where $3 \leq k \leq (n-1)$. Is there any upper or lower bound, in the worst case, known for either the tree-width or the clique width of each $k$ regular ...

Deleting vertices of a regular graph to obtain a regular graph

Let $G$ be a symmetric $n$-regular graph. For which $k$ it is possible to delete some vertices from $G$ to obtain $k$-regular graph $G'$? For example, if $G$ is icosahedral graph (i.e. $5$-regular ...

How to construct 4-regular graphs with few Hamiltonian decompositions?

A Hamiltonian decomposition of a finite simple graph is a partition of its edge set so that each partition class forms a Hamiltonian cycle. This is only possible if the graph is $2k$-regular. ...

Maximum number of leaf blocks in 3-regular (cubic) graph

The definition of block is Block of $G$ is a maximal subgraph $G'$ of $G$ with no cut vertex of $G'$ itself. Of course, there can exist many blocks in $G$. In particular, isolated vertices, edges in ...

If the girth of a $2k$-regular graph $G$ is larger than the diameter of a tree $T$ with $k$ edges, then $G$ is decomposed into copies of $T$

I want to prove that ‘If the girth of a $2k$-regular graph $G$ is larger than the diameter of a $k$-edge tree $T$, then $G$ is covered by edge-disjoint copies of $T$.’ I tried several ways to solve ...

Is every $k$-edge connected $k$-regular graph Hamiltonian?

A graph $G$ is Hamiltonian if there is a Hamiltonian cycle in $G$. Suppose $G$ is a $k$-edge connected $k$-regular graph with $k>1$. Does this ensure that $G$ is Hamiltonian? If not, how about ...

Smallest $3$-regular graph with a unique perfect matching

What is the smallest 3-regular graph to have a unique perfect matching? With a large enough number of nodes, it is possible for a 3-regular graph to have no perfect matching (example can be seen in ...

Efficiently generating all regular/bidegreed graphs

There is a related question on how to generate all regular graphs; however, the procedure is random and repeats the generated graphs. Plus, there is no stop condition, unless recording the total ...

Chromatic number of regular graphs using spectra

There exist inequalities relating the maximum and minimum eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of a graph with its chromatic numbers, i.e. the Wilf's and Hoffmann's inequalities, which put together ...

Decomposition of regular graphs

Let $G$ be a regular simple graph with degree $\Delta=n-k-1$ and order $m$. Let $C_k$ be the regular graph which is formed by removing a $k$-factor from the complete graph $K_{n}$. I think we could ...

Lower bound for $\vert \det A \vert $ for the adjacency matrix of regular graphs

Assume $G$ is a simple $k$-regular graph of order $n$ with adjacency matrix $A$ which is non-singular. Does anyone know some lower bounds for $\vert \det (A) \vert$ with respect to $n$, $k$ or both? ...

The diameter of random regular graphs

In 1982, B. Bollobas and Vega in the paper gave the configurational model to generate $r$-regular random graphs. They gave the following theorem (Theorem 1 in the paper). Theorem: Let $r\geq 3$ and $\...
