In this paper the graphs S1 t K1 t S2 n t S3 m n t S4 m n p q S5 m n S6 m n t S8 m n S9 m n p q S10 n S13 m n S17 m n p q S18 n p q t S19 m n p t S20 n p q and S21 m t are defined. We construct the fifteen classes of larger graphs from the known 15 smaller integral graphs S1 S6 S8 S10 S13 S17 S21 see also Figures 4 and 5 Balinska and Simic Discrete Math. 236 2001 13-24 . These classes consist of nonregular and bipartite graphs. Their spectra and characteristic polynomials are obtained from matrix theory. We obtain their integral property by using number theory and computer search. All these classes are infinite. They are different from those in the literature. It is proved that the problem of finding such integral graphs is equivalent to solving Diophantine equations. We believe that it is useful for constructing other integral graphs. The discovery of these integral graphs is a new contribution to the search of integral graphs. Finally we propose several open problems for further study. 1 Introduction We use G to denote a simple graph with vertex set V G v1 v2 . vng and edge set E G . The adjacency matrix A A G ữịj of G is an n X n symmetric matrix of 0 s Supported by National Science Foundation of China and Natural Science Basic Research Plan in Shaanxi Province of China. y Corresponding author.
