1. 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.

2. Nut digraphsNino Bašić, Patrick W. Fowler, Maxine M. McCarthy, Primož Potočnik, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A nut graph is a simple graph whose kernel is spanned by a single full vector (i.e., the adjacency matrix has a single zero eigenvalue and all non-zero kernel eigenvectors have no zero entry). We classify generalisations of nut graphs to nut digraphs: a digraph whose kernel (resp. co-kernel) is spanned by a full vector is dextro-nut (resp. laevo-nut); a bi-nut digraph is both laevo- and dextro-nut; an ambi-nut digraph is a bi-nut digraph where kernel and co-kernel are spanned by the same vector; a digraph is inter-nut if the intersection of the kernel and co-kernel is spanned by a full vector. It is known that a nut graph is connected, leafless and non-bipartite. It is shown here that an ambi-nut digraph is strongly connected, non-bipartite (i.e., has a non-bipartite underlying graph) and has minimum in-degree and minimum out-degree of at least 2. Refined notions of core and core-forbidden vertices apply to singular digraphs. Infinite families of nut digraphs and systematic coalescence, crossover and multiplier constructions are introduced. Relevance of nut digraphs to topological physics is discussed.

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. Adjacent vertex distinguishing total coloring of corona product of graphsHanna Furmańczyk, Rita Zuazua, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: An adjacent vertex distinguishing total k-coloring f of a graph G is a proper total k-coloring of G such that no pair of adjacent vertices has the same color sets, where the color set at a vertex v, C_f^G(v), is {f(v)} ∪ {f(vu)|u ∈ V(G), vu ∈ E(G)}. In 2005 Zhang et al. posted the conjecture (AVDTCC) that every simple graph G has adjacent vertex distinguishing total (Δ(G) + 3)-coloring. In this paper we confirm the conjecture for many types of coronas, in particular for generalized, simple and l-coronas of graphs, not relating the results to particular graph classes of the factors.

5. Basic tetravalent oriented graphs of independent-cycle typeNemanja Poznanović, Cheryl E. Praeger, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The family OG(4) consisting of graph-group pairs (Γ, G), where Γ is a finite, connected, 4-valent graph admitting a G-vertex-, and G-edge-transitive, but not G-arc-transitive action, has recently been examined using a normal quotient methodology. A subfamily of OG(4) has been identified as ‘basic’, due to the fact that all members of OG(4) are normal covers of at least one basic pair. We provide an explicit classification of those basic pairs (Γ, G) which have at least two independent cyclic G-normal quotients (these are G-normal quotients which are not extendable to a common cyclic normal quotient).

6. On regular graphs with Šoltés verticesNino Bašić, Martin Knor, Riste Škrekovski, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Let ▫$W(G)$▫ be the Wiener index of a graph ▫$G$▫. We say that a vertex ▫$v \in V(G)$▫ is a Šoltés vertex in ▫$G$▫ if ▫$W(G - v) = W(G)$▫, i.e. the Wiener index does not change if the vertex ▫$v$▫ is removed. In 1991, Šoltés posed the problem of identifying all connected graphs ▫$G$▫ with the property that all vertices of ▫$G$▫ are Šoltés vertices. The only such graph known to this day is ▫$C_{11}$▫. As the original problem appears to be too challenging, several relaxations were studied: one may look for graphs with at least ▫$k$▫ Šoltés vertices; or one may look for ▫$\alpha$▫-Šoltés graphs, i.e. graphs where the ratio between the number of Šoltés vertices and the order of the graph is at least ▫$\alpha$▫. Note that the original problem is, in fact, to find all ▫$1$▫-Šoltés graphs. We intuitively believe that every ▫$1$▫-Šoltés graph has to be regular and has to possess a high degree of symmetry. Therefore, we are interested in regular graphs that contain one or more Šoltés vertices. In this paper, we present several partial results. For every ▫$r\ge 1$▫ we describe a construction of an infinite family of cubic ▫$2$▫-connected graphs with at least ▫$2^r$▫ Šoltés vertices. Moreover, we report that a computer search on publicly available collections of vertex-transitive graphs did not reveal any ▫$1$▫-Šoltés graph. We are only able to provide examples of large ▫$\frac{1}{3}$▫-Šoltés graphs that are obtained by truncating certain cubic vertex-transitive graphs. This leads us to believe that no ▫$1$▫-Šoltés graph other than ▫$C_{11}$▫ exists.

8. The core of a vertex-transitive complementary prismMarko Orel, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The complementary prism ▫$\Gamma \overline{\Gamma}$▫ is obtained from the union of a graph ▫$\Gamma$▫ and its complement ▫$\overline{\Gamma}$▫ where each pair of identical vertices in ▫$\Gamma$▫ and ▫$\overline{\Gamma}$▫ is joined by an edge. It generalizes the Petersen graph, which is the complementary prism of the pentagon. The core of a vertex-transitive complementary prism is studied. In particular, it is shown that a vertex-transitive complementary prism ▫$\Gamma \overline{\Gamma}$▫ is a core, i.e. all its endomorphisms are automorphisms, whenever ▫$\Gamma$▫ is a core or its core is a complete graph.
