We study the curvature-dimension inequality in regular graphs. We develop techniques for calculating the curvature of such graphs, and we give characterizations of classes of graphs with positive, zero, and negative curvature. Our main result is to compare the curvature-dimension inequality in these classes to the so-called Ollivier curvature. A consequence of our results is that in the case that the graph contains no subgraph isomorphic to either $K_3$ or $K_{2,3}$ these curvatures usually have the same sign, and we characterize the exceptions.

Delsarte, Goethals, and Seidel (1977) used the linear programming method in order to find bounds for the size of spherical codes endowed with prescribed inner products between distinct points in the code. In this paper, we develop the linear programm ing method to obtain bounds for the number of vertices of connected regular graphs endowed with given distinct eigenvalues. This method is proved by some dual technique of the spherical case, motivated from the theory of association scheme. As an application of this bound, we prove that a connected $k$-regular graph satisfying $g>2d-1$ has the minimum second-largest eigenvalue of all $k$-regular graphs of the same size, where $d$ is the number of distinct non-trivial eigenvalues, and $g$ is the girth. The known graphs satisfying $g>2d-1$ are Moore graphs, incidence graphs of regular generalized polygons of order $(s,s)$, triangle-free strongly regular graphs, and the odd graph of degree $4$.
In this article, we discuss when one can extend an r-regular graph to an r + 1 regular by adding edges. Different conditions on the num- ber of vertices n and regularity r are developed. We derive an upper bound of r, depending on n, for which, every regular graph G(n, r) can be extended to an r + 1-regular graph with n vertices. Presence of induced complete bipartite subgraph and complete subgraph is dis- cussed, separately, for the extension of regularity.
Switches are operations which make local changes to the edges of a graph, usually with the aim of preserving the vertex degrees. We study a restricted set of switches, called triangle switches. Each triangle switch creates or deletes at least one tri angle. Triangle switches can be used to define Markov chains which generate graphs with a given degree sequence and with many more triangles (3-cycles) than is typical in a uniformly random graph with the same degrees. We show that the set of triangle switches connects the set of all $d$-regular graphs on $n$ vertices, for all $dgeq 3$. Hence, any Markov chain which assigns positive probability to all triangle switches is irreducible on these graphs. We also investigate this question for 2-regular graphs.
Given a graph $G$, a dominating set of $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that each vertex not in $S$ has a neighbor in $S$. The domination number of $G$, denoted $gamma(G)$, is the minimum size of a dominating set of $G$. The independent domination n umber of $G$, denoted $i(G)$, is the minimum size of a dominating set of $G$ that is also independent. Note that every graph has an independent dominating set, as a maximal independent set is equivalent to an independent dominating set. Let $G$ be a connected $k$-regular graph that is not $K_{k, k}$ where $kgeq 4$. Generalizing a result by Lam, Shiu, and Sun, we prove that $i(G)le frac{k-1}{2k-1}|V(G)|$, which is tight for $k = 4$. This answers a question by Goddard et al. in the affirmative. We also show that $frac{i(G)}{gamma(G)} le frac{k^3-3k^2+2}{2k^2-6k+2}$, strengthening upon a result of Knor, v{S}krekovski, and Tepeh. In addition, we prove that a graph $G$ with maximum degree at most $4$ satisfies $i(G) le frac{5}{9}|V(G)|$, which is also tight.

Characterizations graphs of some classes to induce periodic Grover walks have been studied for recent years. In particular, for the strongly regular graphs, it has been known that there are only three kinds of such graphs. Here, we focus on the perio dicity of the Grover walks on distance-regular graphs. The distance-regular graph can be regarded as a kind of generalization of the strongly regular graphs and the typical graph with an equitable partition. In this paper, we find some classes of such distance-regular graphs and obtain some useful necessary conditions to induce periodic Grover walks on the general distance-regular graphs. Also, we apply this necessary condition to give another proof for the strong regular graphs.
