1. On the null spaces of quartic circulant graphsIvan Damnjanović, 2025 Opis: A nut graph is a nontrivial simple graph whose adjacency matrix has a one-dimensionalnull space such that its nonzero vectors contain no zero elements. For circulant graphs, itis known that they are nut if and only if their nullity is one. This fact was recently usedby the author in order to show that there exists ad-regular circulant nut graph of order n if and only if 4|d,2|n, d >0, alongside n ≥d+ 4 if d≡84, and n ≥d+ 6 if 8|d, and (n, d)̸= (16,8). Here, we deal with the quartic circulant graphs and disclose several results regarding their null spaces. First of all, we derive an explicit formula for computing the nullity of any quartic circulant graph. Furthermore, we provide the full nut graph characterization among these graphs. Finally, we determine all such graphs that attain the minimum or maximum nullity with respect to a given order. We also give the extremal null spaces of these graphs.

2. A note on Cayley nut graphs whose degree is divisible by fourIvan Damnjanović, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: 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.

3. Nut graphs with a prescribed number of vertex and edge orbitsNino Bašić, Ivan Damnjanović, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A nut graph is a nontrivial graph whose adjacency matrix has a one-dimensional null space spanned by a vector without zero entries. Recently, it was shown that a nut graph has more edge orbits than vertex orbits. It was also shown that for any even $r \geq 2$ and any $k \geq r + 1$, there exist infinitely many nut graphs with r vertex orbits and k edge orbits. Here, we extend this result by finding all the pairs $(r, k)$ for which there exists a nut graph with $r$ vertex orbits and $k$ edge orbits. In particular, we show that for any $k \geq 2$, there are infinitely many Cayley nut graphs with $k$ edge orbits and $k$ arc orbits.

4. On cubic polycirculant nut graphsNino Bašić, Ivan Damnjanović, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A nut graph is a nontrivial simple graph whose adjacency matrix contains a one-dimensional null space spanned by a vector without zero entries. Moreover, an $\ell$-circulant graph is a graph that admits a cyclic group of automorphisms having $\ell$ vertex orbits of equal size. It is not difficult to observe that there exists no cubic $1$-circulant nut graph or cubic $2$-circulant nut graph, while the full classification of all the cubic $3$-circulant nut graphs was recently obtained (Damnjanović et al. in Electron. J. Comb. 31(2):P2.31, 2024). Here, we investigate the existence of cubic $\ell$-circulant nut graphs for $\ell \geq 4$ and show that there is no cubic $4$-circulant nut graph or cubic $5$-circulant nut graph by using a computer-assisted proof. Furthermore, we rely on a construction based approach in order to demonstrate that there exist infinitely many cubic $\ell$-circulant nut graphs for any fixed $\ell \in \{6, 7\}$ or $\ell \geq 9$.
