Godsil-McKay switchings for gain graphs

Matteo Cavaleri, Alfredo Donno, Stefano Spessato

We introduce a switching operation, inspired by the Godsil-McKay switching, in order to obtain pairs of -cospectral gain graphs, that are gain graphs cospectral with respect to…

On a class of poly-context-free groups generated by automata

Matteo Cavaleri, Daniele D'Angeli, Alfredo Donno +1

This paper deals with graph automaton groups associated with trees and some generalizations. We start by showing some algebraic properties of tree automaton groups. Then we charact…

On cospectrality of gain graphs

Matteo Cavaleri, Alfredo Donno

We define -cospectrality of two -gain graphs and , proving that it is a switching isomorphism invariant. When is a finite group, we prove that -cospec…

Characterizations of line graphs in signed and gain graphs

Matteo Cavaleri, Daniele D'Angeli, Alfredo Donno

We generalize three classical characterizations of line graphs to line graphs of signed and gain graphs: the Krausz's characterization, the van Rooij and Wilf's characterization an…

Gain-line graphs via -phases and group representations

Matteo Cavaleri, Daniele D'Angeli, Alfredo Donno

Let be an arbitrary group. We define a gain-line graph for a gain graph through the choice of an incidence -phase matrix inducing . We prove that the switching eq…

Graph automaton groups

Matteo Cavaleri, Daniele D'Angeli, Alfredo Donno +1

In this paper we define a way to get a bounded invertible automaton starting from a finite graph. It turns out that the corresponding automaton group is regular weakly branch over…

A group representation approach to balance of gain graphs

Matteo Cavaleri, Daniele D'Angeli, Alfredo Donno

We study the balance of -gain graphs, where is an arbitrary group, by investigating their adjacency matrices and their spectra. As a first step, we characterize switching eq…

Constructing cospectral signed graphs

Francesco Belardo, Maurizio Brunetti, Matteo Cavaleri +1

A well--known fact in Spectral Graph Theory is the existence of pairs of isospectral nonisomorphic graphs (known as PINGS). The work of A.J. Schwenk (in 1973) and of C. Godsil and…

Distance-balanced graphs and Travelling Salesman Problems

Matteo Cavaleri, Alfredo Donno

For every probability we define a distance-based graph property, the TS-distance-balancedness, that in the case coincides with the standard distance-balancedne…

Permutational powers of a graph

Matteo Cavaleri, Daniele D'Angeli, Alfredo Donno

This paper introduces a new graph construction, the permutational power of a graph, whose adjacency matrix is obtained by the composition of a permutation matrix with the adjacency…

Some degree and distance-based invariants of wreath products of graphs

Matteo Cavaleri, Alfredo Donno

The wreath product of graphs is a graph composition inspired by the notion of wreath product of groups, with interesting connections with Geometric Group Theory and Probability. Th…
