可迁图的超常边连通度的最优性

图的超常边连通度是图的边连通度概念的推广.对于n阶点可迁或正则边可迁的简单连通图来说,它的h阶超常边连通度λh一定存在(1≤h≤n/2).本文证明了当dr正则的n-阶点可迁简单连通图满足n≥6,d≥4且围长g≥5时,或d-正则的n-阶边可迁简单连通图满足n≥6,d≥4且围长g≥4时,对于任何的h1≤h≤min{g-1,n/2},λh达到其最大可能值,即λh=hd-2(h-1).     

围长为3的点可迁图的3限制边连通度

设G是阶至少为6的k正则连通图.如果G的围长等于3,那么它的3限制边连通度 λ3(G)≤3k-6.当G是3或者4正则连通点可迁图时等号成立,除非G是4正则图并且 λ3(G)=4.进一步,λ3(G)=4的充分必要条件是图G含有子图K4.     

点可迁图的限制边连通性

3限制边割是连通图的一个边割, 它将此图分离成阶不小于3的连通分支. 图G的最小3限制边割所含的边数称为此图的3限制边连通度, 记作λ\-3(G). 它以图G的3阶连通点导出 子图的余边界的最小基数ξ_3(G)为上界. 如果λ_3(G)=ξ_3(G), 则称图G是极大3限制边连通的 . 已知在某种程度上,3限制边连通度较大的网络有较好的可靠性. 作者在文中证明: 如果k正则连通点可迁图的 围长至少是5, 那么它是是极大3限制边连通的.     

点可迁图的限制边连通度

设Ｓ是连通图Ｇ的边子集．如果Ｇ－Ｓ不连通而且不含孤立点，那么称Ｓ是Ｇ的一个限制边割，Ｇ中所有限制边割中最小边数称为Ｇ的限制边连通度，记为λ＇（Ｇ）．限制边连通度是对传统边连通度的推广，而且是计算机互连网络容错性的一个重要度量．点可迁图是一类重要的网络模型．本文证明了如下结论： 设 Ｇ是连通的点可迁图．如果 Ｇ的点数ｎ≥ ４，而且点度ｋ≥ ２，那么或者λ＇（Ｇ）＝ ２ｋ－２，或者ｎ是偶数，Ｇ含三角形且存在整数ｍ≥２，使得ｋ≥λ＇（Ｇ）＝ｎ／ｍ≤２ｋ－３．关     

3限制边连通度与正则因子

设G是一个阶不小于6的k正则连通点可迁图. 如果G不含三角形, 那么图G是极大3限制边连通的, 或者G含有各连通分支都同构于同一个h阶点可迁图的k-1正则因子, 其中2k-2≤h≤3k-5. 唯一的例外是: G是围长等于4 的3正则图.     

无向de-Bruijn图的超级边连通性和限制性边连通度

super-λ和限制性边连通度是两个比边连通度更能刻画网络可行性的参数。本文证明了无向无向de-Bruijn图UB（d,n)是super-λ（d≥2,n≥2)。对n≥4，我们证明了UB（2,n)的限制性边连通度为4；UB（2，3）的限制性边连通度是3。对d≥3我们指出UB(d,n)(n≥3)的限制性连连通度λ‘，满足2d-2λ‘≤4d-4。     

点可迁图的限制边连通度

设S是连通图G的边子集.如果G-S不连通而且不含孤立点,那么称S是G的一个限制边割.G中所有限制边割中最小边数称为G的限制边连通度,记为′(G).限制边连通度是对传统边连通度的推广,而且是计算机互连网络容错性的一个重要度量.点可迁图是一类重要的网络模型.本文证明了如下结论 设G是连通的点可迁图.如果G的点数n4,而且点度k2,那么或者′(G)=2k-2,或者n是偶数,G含三角形且存在整数m2,使得k′(G)=n/m2k-3.     

点可迁图中的正则因子

设图G是一个K-正则连通点可迁图.如果G不是极大限制性边连通的,那么G含有一个(k-1)-因子,它的所有分支都同构于同一个阶价于k和2k-3之间的点可迁图.此结果在某种程度上加强了Watkins的相应命题:如果k正则点可迁图G不是k连通的,那么G有一个因子,它的每一个分支都同构于同一个点可迁图.     

关于图的上可嵌入性的一个充分条件

本文主要证明:设G是一个(k+1)-边连通的n阶简单图,其围长为g,如果对G的任意独立集I(G)={v_i|1≤i≤k~2+2},k=0,1,2,均满足那么图G是上可嵌入的,而且下界是紧的.     

正则图的限制性边连通度

将连通图分离成阶至少为二的分支之并的边割称为限制性边割,最小限制性边割的阶称为限制性边连通度. 用λ′(G)表示限制性连通度,则λ′(G)≤ξ(G),其中ξ(G)表示最小边度. 如果上式等号成立,则称G是极大限制性边连通的. 本文证明了当k＞|G|/2时,k正则图G是极大限制性边连通的,其中k≥2, |G|≥4; k的下界在某种程度上是不可改进的.     

Hexavalent symmetric graphs of order 9p

A graph is symmetric if its automorphism group acts transitively on the set of arcs of the graph. In this paper, we classify hexavalent symmetric graphs of order $9p$ for each prime $p$.     

三度边正则图的三个无限族

图X称为边正则图，若X的自同构群Aut(X)在X的边集上的作用是正则的．本文考察了三度边正则图与四度Cayley图的关系，给出了一个由四度Cayley图构造三度边正则图的方法，并且构造了边正则图的三个无限族．     

Edge-primitive Cayley graphs on abelian groups and dihedral groups

A graph is called edge-primitive if its automorphism group acts primitively on its edge set. In 1973, Weiss (1973) determined all edge-primitive graphs of valency three, and recently Guo et al. (2013,2015) classified edge-primitive graphs of valencies four and five. In this paper, we determine all edge-primitive Cayley graphs on abelian groups and dihedral groups.     

Hypohamiltonian Planar Cubic Graphs with Girth 5

A graph is called hypohamiltonian if it is not hamiltonian but becomes hamiltonian if any vertex is removed. Many hypohamiltonian planar cubic graphs have been found, starting with constructions of Thomassen in 1981. However, all the examples found until now had 4‐cycles. In this note we present the first examples of hypohamiltonian planar cubic graphs with cyclic connectivity 5, and thus girth 5. We show by computer search that the smallest members of this class are three graphs with 76 vertices.     

Semisymmetric cubic graphs as regular covers of K 3,3

A regular graph X is called semisymmetric if it is edge-transitive but not vertex-transitive. For G ≤ AutX, we call a G-cover X semisymmetric if X is semisymmetric, and call a G-cover X one-regular if Aut X acts regularly on its arc-set. In this paper, we give the sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of one-regular or semisymmetric Zn-Covers of K3,3. Also, an infinite family of semisymmetric Zn×Zn-covers of K3,3 are constructed.     

Classification of a family of symmetric graphs with complete 2-arc-transitive quotients

In this paper we give a classification of a family of symmetric graphs with complete 2-arc-transitive quotients. Of particular interest are two subfamilies of graphs which admit an arc-transitive action of a projective linear group. The graphs in these subfamilies can be defined in terms of the cross ratio of certain 4-tuples of elements of a finite projective line, and thus may be called the second type ‘cross ratio graphs’, which are different from the ‘cross ratio graphs’ studied in [A. Gardiner, C. E. Praeger, S. Zhou, Cross-ratio graphs, J. London Math. Soc. (2) 64 (2001), 257–272]. We also give a combinatorial characterisation of such second type cross ratio graphs.     

A Local Analysis of Imprimitive Symmetric Graphs

Let Г be a G-symmetric graph admitting a nontrivial G-invariant partition . Let Г be the quotient graph of Г with respect to . For each block B ∊ , the setwise stabiliser G_B of B in G induces natural actions on B and on the neighbourhood Г (B) of B in Г . Let G_(B) and G_[B] be respectively the kernels of these actions. In this paper we study certain “local actions" induced by G_(B) and G_[B], such as the action of G_[B] on B and the action of G_(B) on Г (B), and their influence on the structure of Г.

On triconnected and cubic plane graphs on given point sets

Let S be a set of n4 points in general position in the plane, and let h<n be the number of extreme points of S. We show how to construct a 3-connected plane graph with vertex set S, having max{3n/2,n+h−1} edges, and we prove that there is no 3-connected plane graph on top of S with a smaller number of edges. In particular, this implies that S admits a 3-connected cubic plane graph if and only if n4 is even and hn/2+1. The same bounds also hold when 3-edge-connectivity is considered. We also give a partial characterization of the point sets in the plane that can be the vertex set of a cubic plane graph.     

Polygon-circle and word-representable graphs

We describe work on the relationship between the independently-studied polygon-circle graphs and word-representable graphs.A graph G = (V, E) is word-representable if there exists a word w over the alpha-bet V such that letters x and y form a subword of the form xyxy ⋯ or yxyx ⋯ iff xy is an edge in E. Word-representable graphs generalise several well-known and well-studied classes of graphs [S. Kitaev, A Comprehensive Introduction to the Theory of Word-Representable Graphs, Lecture Notes in Computer Science 10396 (2017) 36–67; S. Kitaev, V. Lozin, “Words and Graphs”, Springer, 2015]. It is known that any word-representable graph is k-word-representable, that is, can be represented by a word having exactly k copies of each letter for some k dependent on the graph. Recognising whether a graph is word-representable is NP-complete ([S. Kitaev, V. Lozin, “Words and Graphs”, Springer, 2015, Theorem 4.2.15]). A polygon-circle graph (also known as a spider graph) is the intersection graph of a set of polygons inscribed in a circle [M. Koebe, On a new class of intersection graphs, Ann. Discrete Math. (1992) 141–143]. That is, two vertices of a graph are adjacent if their respective polygons have a non-empty intersection, and the set of polygons that correspond to vertices in this way are said to represent the graph. Recognising whether an input graph is a polygon-circle graph is NP-complete [M. Pergel, Recognition of polygon-circle graphs and graphs of interval filaments is NP-complete, Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science: 33rd Int. Workshop, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 4769 (2007) 238–247]. We show that neither of these two classes is included in the other one by showing that the word-representable Petersen graph and crown graphs are not polygon-circle, while the non-word-representable wheel graph W₅ is polygon-circle. We also provide a more refined result showing that for any k ≥ 3, there are k-word-representable graphs which are neither (k −1)-word-representable nor polygon-circle.
