We show that the bilinear forms graphs H q (n, d) of diameter d โฅ 3 are characterized as distanceregular graphs by their parameters provided that either n โฅ d + 3 and q โฅ 3, or n โฅ d + 4 and q = 2. As a corollary of the method used, we can show the following. If is a distance-regular graph with clas

โฆ Synopsis
Wilbrink and Brouwer [18] proved that certain semi-partial geometries with some weak restrictions on parameters satisfy the dual of Pasch's axiom. Inspired by their work, a class of incidence structures associated with distance-regular graphs with classical parameters is studied in this paper. As a consequence, the Grassmann graphs and the bilinear forms graphs are characterized simultaneously among distance-regular graphs with classical parameters, together with some extra geometric conditions.

A connected undirected graph G is called a Seymour graph if the maximum number of edge disjoint T -cuts is equal to the cardinality of a minimum T -join for every even subset T of V (G). Several families of graphs have been shown to be subfamilies of Seymour graphs (Seymour

Chartrand and Harary have shown that if G is a non-outerplanar graph such that, for every edge e, both the deletion G \ e and the contraction G/e of e from G are outerplanar, then G is isomorphic to K4 or K2,3. An a-outerplanar graph is a graph which is not outerplanar such that, for some edge a , b
Multivalent relations, inferred as relationships with an added dimension of discernment, are realized as weighted graphs with multivalued edges. A unified treatment of the threshold problem is discussed and a reliability measure is produced to judge various partitions. 'R+ represents the non-negati
## Relations on a finite set V are viewed as weighted graphs. Using the language of graph theory two methods of partitioning V are examined. In one method, partitionings of V are obtained by selecting threshold values and applying them to a maximal weighted spanning forest. In another method a para
