On even-cycle-free subgraphs of the doubled Johnson graphs
The generalized Turán number ${\rm ex}(G,H)$ is the maximum number of edges in an $H$-free subgraph of a graph $G.$ It is an important extension of the classical Turán number ${\rm ex}(n,H)$, which is the maximum number of edges in a graph with $n$ vertices that does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. In this paper, we consider the maximum number of edges in an even-cycle-free subgraph of the doubled Johnson graphs $J(n;k,k+1)$, which are bipartite subgraphs of hypercube graphs. We give an upper bound for ${\rm ex}(J(n;k,k+1),C_{2r})$ with any fixed $k\in\mathbb{Z}^+$ and any $n\in\mathbb{Z}^+$ with $n\geq 2k+1.$ We also give an upper bound for ${\rm ex}(J(2k+1;k,k+1),C_{2r})$ with any $k\in\mathbb{Z}^+,$ where $J(2k+1;k,k+1)$ is known as doubled Odd graph $\widetilde{O}_{k+1}.$ This bound induces that the number of edges in any $C_{2r}$-free subgraph of $\widetilde{O}_{k+1}$ is $o(e(\widetilde{O}_{k+1}))$ for $r\geq 6,$ which also implies a Ramsey-type result.

Quasi-thin weakly distance-regular digraphs
A weakly distance-regular digraph is quasi-thin if the maximum value of its intersection numbers is 2. In this paper, we focus on commutative quasi-thin weakly distance-regular digraphs, and classify such digraphs with valency more than 3. As a result, this family of digraphs are completely determined.

In this paper, we classify commutative weakly distance-regular digraphs of valency 3 with girth more than 2 and one type of arcs. Combining [8, Theorem 1.2], [10, Theorem 1.3] and [11, Theorem 1], commutative weakly distanceregular digraphs of valency 3 are completely determined.

Lambda number of the power graph of a finite group
The power graph $Γ_G$ of a finite group $G$ is the graph with the vertex set $G$, where two distinct elements are adjacent if one is a power of the other. An $L(2, 1)$-labeling of a graph $Γ$ is an assignment of labels from nonnegative integers to all vertices of $Γ$ such that vertices at distance two get different labels and adjacent vertices get labels that are at least $2$ apart. The lambda number of $Γ$, denoted by $λ(Γ)$, is the minimum span over all $L(2, 1)$-labelings of $Γ$. In this paper, we obtain bounds for $λ(Γ_G)$, and give necessary and sufficient conditions when the bounds are attained. As applications, we compute the exact value of $λ(Γ_G)$ if $G$ is a dihedral group, a generalized quaternion group, a $\mathcal{P}$-group or a cyclic group of order $pq^n$, where $p$ and $q$ are distinct primes and $n$ is a positive integer.

On 3-equivalenced weakly distance-regular digraphs
A weakly distance-regular digraph is 3-equivalenced if its attached association scheme is 3-equivalenced. In this paper, we classify the family of such digraphs under the assumption of the commutativity.

Two bounds for generalized $3$-connectivity of Cartesian product graphs
The generalized $k$-connectivity $κ_{k}(G)$ of a graph $G$, which was introduced by Chartrand et al.(1984) is a generalization of the concept of vertex connectivity. Let $G$ and $H$ be nontrivial connected graphs. Recently, Li et al. gave a lower bound for the generalized $3$-connectivity of the Cartesian product graph $G \square H$ and proposed a conjecture for the case that $H$ is $3$-connected. In this paper, we give two different forms of lower bounds for the generalized $3$-connectivity of Cartesian product graphs. The first lower bound is stronger than theirs, and the second confirms their conjecture.

Vector spaces and Grassmann graphs over residue class rings
Let $\mathbb{Z}_{p^s}$ be the residue class ring of integers modulo $p^s$, where $p$ is a prime number and $s$ is a positive integer. Using matrix representation and the inner rank of a matrix, we study the intersection, join, dimension formula and dual subspaces on vector subspaces of $\mathbb{Z}^n_{p^s}$. Based on these results, we investigate the Grassmann graph $G_{p^s}(n,m)$ over $\mathbb{Z}_{p^s}$. $G_{p^s}(n,m)$ is a connected vertex-transitive graph, and we determine its valency, clique number and maximum cliques. Finally, we characterize the automorphisms of $G_{p^s}(n,m)$.

Strong rainbow connection numbers of toroidal meshes
In 2011, Li et al. \cite{LLL} obtained an upper bound of the strong rainbow connection number of an $r$-dimensional undirected toroidal mesh. In this paper, this bound is improved. As a result, we give a negative answer to their problem.

The power index of a graph
The {\em power index} $Θ(Γ)$ of a graph $Γ$ is the least order of a group $G$ such that $Γ$ can embed into the power graph of $G$. Furthermore, this group $G$ is {\em $Γ$-optimal} if $G$ has order $Θ(Γ)$. We say that $Γ$ is {\em power-critical} if its order equals to $Θ(Γ)$. This paper focuses on the power indices of complete graphs, complete bipartite graphs and $1$-factors. We classify all power-critical graphs $Γ'$ in these three families, and give a necessary and sufficient condition for $Γ'$-optimal groups.

Finite groups with star-free noncyclic graphs
For a finite noncyclic group $G$, let $\Cyc(G)$ be a set of elements $a$ of $G$ such that $\langle a,b\rangle$ is cyclic for each $b$ of $G$. The noncyclic graph of $G$ is a graph with the vertex set $G\setminus \Cyc(G)$, having an edge between two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ if $\langle x, y\rangle$ is not cyclic. In this paper, we classify all finite noncyclic groups whose noncyclic graphs are $K_{1,n}$-free, where $3\leq n\leq 6$.

The rainbow connection number of the power graph of a finite group
This paper studies the rainbow connection number of the power graph $Γ_G$ of a finite group $G$. We determine the rainbow connection number of $Γ_G$ if $G$ has maximal involutions or is nilpotent, and show that the rainbow connection number of $Γ_G$ is at most three if $G$ has no maximal involutions. The rainbow connection numbers of power graphs of some nonnilpotent groups are also given.

On finite groups all of whose cubic Cayley graphs are integral
For any positive integer $k$, let $\mathcal{G}_k$ denote the set of finite groups $G$ such that all Cayley graphs ${\rm Cay}(G,S)$ are integral whenever $|S|\le k$. Est${\rm \acute{e}}$lyi and Kov${\rm \acute{a}}$cs \cite{EK14} classified $\mathcal{G}_k$ for each $k\ge 4$. In this paper, we characterize the finite groups each of whose cubic Cayley graphs is integral. Moreover, the class $\mathcal{G}_3$ is characterized. As an application, the classification of $\mathcal{G}_k$ is obtained again, where $k\ge 4$.

Rainbow connectivity of the non-commuting graph of a finite group
Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian group. The non-commuting graph $Γ_G$ of $G$ has the vertex set $G\setminus Z(G)$ and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if $xy\ne yx$, where $Z(G)$ is the center of $G$. We prove that the rainbow $2$-connectivity of $Γ_G$ is $2$. In particular, the rainbow connection number of $Γ_G$ is $2$. Moreover, for any positive integer $k$, we prove that there exist infinitely many non-abelian groups $G$ such that the rainbow $k$-connectivity of $Γ_G$ is $2$.

The endomorphism of Grassmann graphs
A graph is called a pseudo-core if every endomorphism is either an automorphism or a colouring. In this paper, we show that every Grassmann graph $J_q(n,m)$ is a pseudo-core. Moreover, the Grassmann graph $J_q(n,m)$ is a core whenever $m$ and $n-m+1$ are not relatively prime, and $J_q(2pk-2, pk-1)$ is a core whenever $p,k\geq 2$.
