1. A note on Cayley nut graphs whose degree is divisible by fourIvan Damnjanović, 2026, original scientific article Abstract: A nut graph is a nontrivial simple graph such that its adjacency matrix has a one-dimensional null space spanned by a full vector. Fowler et al. in 2020 proved that there is a d-regular vertex-transitive nut graph of order n only if 4 ∣ d, 2 ∣ n, n ≥ d + 4 or d≡₄2, 4 ∣ n and n ≥ d + 6. It was recently shown that there exists a d-regular circulant nut graph of order n if and only if 4 ∣ d, 2 ∣ n, d > 0, together with n ≥ d + 4 if d≡₈4 and n ≥ d + 6 if 8 ∣ d, as well as (n, d) ≠ (16, 8) (in the paper from 2024). In this paper, we demonstrate the existence of a d-regular Cayley nut graph of order n for each n and d with 4 ∣ d, d > 0 and 2 ∣ n, n ≥ d + 4, thereby finding all the orders attainable by a Cayley nut graph, or vertex-transitive nut graph, with a fixed degree divisible by four.

2. On the wreath product of signed and gain graphs and its spectrumMatteo Cavaleri, Alfredo Donno, Stefano Spessato, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: We introduce a notion of wreath product of two gain graphs (Γ_1, ψ_1, G_1) and (Γ_2, ψ_2, G_2), producing a gain graph over the direct product group G_2|V_Γ1| × G_1, whose underlying graph is the classical wreath product of graphs Γ_1≀Γ_2. By composition with a suitable group homomorphism, our construction produces a signed graph when the two factors are signed graphs. We prove that the wreath product is stable under switching isomorphism. By using group representations, we are able to perform spectral computations on the wreath product: in particular, we determine its largest and its smallest eigenvalue, and we give a description of the spectrum when the first factor is a complex unit complete balanced or antibalanced gain graph, and the second factor is circulant. Finally, when G_1 is a group of permutations of the vertex set of the first factor, and the group G_2 is abelian, we give an alternative definition producing a gain graph over the group wreath product G_1≀G_2, which turns out to be stable under switching equivalence of the second factor, when the first factor is balanced.

8. Large sets of long distance equienergetic graphsDragan Stevanović, 2009, original scientific article Abstract: Distance energy of a graph is a recent energy-type invariant, defined as the absolute deviation of the eigenvalues of the distance matrix of the graph. Two graphs of the same order are said to be distance equienergetic if they have equal distance energy, while they have distinct spectra of their distance matrices. Examples of pairs of distance equienergetic graphs appear in the literature already, but most of them have diameter two only. We describe here the distance spectrum of a special composition of regular graphs, and, as an application, we show that for any ▫$n \ge 3$▫, there exists a set of ▫$n + 1$▫ distance equienergetic graphs which have order ▫$6n$▫ and diameter ▫$n - 1$▫ each.
