## Abstract Cartesian products of complete graphs are known as Hamming graphs. Using embeddings into Cartesian products of quotient graphs we characterize subgraphs, induced subgraphs, and isometric subgraphs of Hamming graphs. For instance, a graph __G__ is an induced subgraph of a Hamming graph i

A Hamming graph is a Cartesian product of complete graphs. We show that (finite or infinite) quasi-median graphs, which are a generalization of median graphs, are exactly the retracts of Hamming graphs. This generalizes a result of Bandelt (1984,
The sandglass graph is obtained by appending a triangle to each pendant vertex of a path. It is proved that sandglass graphs are determined by their adjacency spectra as well as their Laplacian spectra.
It is known to be a hard problem to compute the competition number k(G) of a graph G in general. Park and Sano (in press) [16] gave the exact values of the competition numbers of Hamming graphs H(n, q) if 1 β€ n β€ 3 or 1 β€ q β€ 2. In this paper, we give an explicit formula for the competition numbers
