Isomorphism in regular graphs

Let $G$ be a connected regular graph. Consider two different vertices $u,v$ of $G$. Let $H_1$ be the graph obtained from $G$ by deleting vertex $u$, and $H_2$ be the graph obtained from $G$ by deleting vertex $v$. Is it necessary that $H_1$ and $H_2$ are isomorphic?

    First you can ask yourself: is a connected regular graph necessarily vertex-transitive? The answer is no and if you start from those counterexamples then you will work out a counterexample to your question.

No, they're not necessarily isomorphic. For easy counterexamples look at the disjoint union of two different regular graphs of the same degree (e.g. different cyclic graphs), then delete a point from each of the graphs.

  • @ChrisGodsil I understood that the complement of the above graphs (let's say disjoint union of two cycles of a different order) is a regular graph, call it $G$. But I don't think it will give a counterexample that the graphs $H_1$, $H_2$ obtained from $G$ are isomorphic, atleast degree sequence of $H_1, H_2$ is the same no matter what vertex we remove.
