Clique number of a regular graph with respect to that of a certain edge decomposition

Let $G$ be a regular graph having spanning regular subgraphs $G_1,\dots, G_k$ whose edge sets are disjoint and their union is the whole edge set of $G$. Is it true that the clique number of $G$ is bou …

All $2$-designs arising from the action of the affine linear group on the field of prime order

Let $p$ be a prime and $\mathbb{Z}_p$ denote as usual the field of order $p$. Let $AL(p)$ be the affine linear group $\{x\mapsto ax+b \;|\; a\in \mathbb{Z}_p\setminus \{0\}, b\in\mathbb{Z}_p\}$. For a …

A group-theoretic perspective on Frankl's union closed problem

If $G$ is a non-trivial finite group which can be generated by two non-trivial elements of prime power orders, then the answer to the question is affirmative. Let $\mathcal{G}$ be the set of all subgr …

The line graphs of complete graphs and Cayley graphs

Let $n>3$ be an odd integer and let $K_n$ denote the complete graph on $n$ vertices. For which integers $n$ the line graph $L(K_n)$ is a Cayley graph? For even $n$, it follows from a result of Watkins …

Strongly regular graphs with the same parameters as Paley graph

It is known that the Paley graph $P(q)$ for $q = 5, 9, 13$ or $17$ vertices are the only strongly regular graph with the parameters as $P(q)$. If $q \geq 25$, is the following assertion true: The …

Difference of the maximum eigenvalue of a graph with the one of one-edge-deleted subgraph

Let $G$ be a graph and $e$ be an edge of the graph $G$ such that the subgraph $G\setminus e$ is connected. The subgraph $G\setminus e$ is the subgraph of $G$ obtained by deletion of the edge $e$ of $G …

Perfect P6-free graphs with further properties

Let $G$ be a graph without any hole or antihole of odd length at least 5 (i.e. $G$ is a Berge graph and so by the Strong Perfect Graph Theorem, $G$ is perfect). Assume further that $G$ has no antihol …
