K1,p-受限图

图G中同构于Ki,p的子图叫G的p-爪(P≥3)．如果G中任意一个p-爪中1度顶点之间边(在G中的边)的数目≥P-2,则称G为K1,p-受限图,它是无爪图的推广．本文证明了连通、局部2-连通的K1,4-受限图是完全圈可扩的．     

K1,4-受限图的路可扩性

图G中同构于K1,p的子图叫G的p-爪(p3).如果G中任意一个p-爪中1度顶点之间边的数目p-2,则称G为K1,p-受限图,它是无爪图(p=3时)的推广.本文证明了:连通、局部3-连通的K1,4-受限图是路可扩的.     

哈密顿线图的一个充分条件

对于图G的任意边e=uv,边的度定义为d(e)=d(u)+d(v),其中d(u)和d(v)分别为顶点u和v的度.本文的主要结果是: 设G是几乎无桥的p≥2阶简单连通图,且G(?)K_(1,p-1),若对任意相距为2的两边e_1和e_2,d(e_1)+d(e_2)≥2p-6,则G有一个D—闭迹,从而G的线图L(G)是哈密顿的.     

无爪图泛圈性的邻域并条件

证明了,若G是一个p-阶3-连通无爪图,p≠10,11,15,并对G中任意两个不相邻的点u和v,满足|N(u)∪N(v)|≥(p-1)/2,则G是泛圈图.     

连通的欧拉生成子图

本文证明了:若 G 是一个 p 个顶点的、2-边-连通简单图,其边数,q≥((p-4)/2)+7.则除 K_(2,5)外,G 有连通的欧拉生成子图.当 q=((p-4)/4)+6和 k(G)=2时,本文给出了全部6个极图.     

无爪图中点不相交的特殊四阶子图

如果图中不存在同构于K_(1.3)的诱导子图,则称这样的图为无爪图.令K_4~-表示从K_4中去掉一条边后得到的图.Faudree等人研究了无爪图中点不交三角形的个数与其最小度之间的关系,受此启发,我们研究了无爪图中点不交的K_4~-个数与其最小度以及阶数之间的关系.设G是阶数为n且最小度为δ≥5的无爪图,我们证明了G中包含至少((δ-4)/(7δ-8))n个点不交的K_4~-.作为推论,每—个阶数n≥28且δ(n/7)等的无爪图至少包含(n-7)-2个点不交的K_4~-.     

关于图的星形因子覆盖

如果图 G 的支撑子图 M 的每个分支都同构于{K_(1,1)K_(1,2,)…,K_(1,k}(k≥2)中的某个 K_(1,i),则 M(?)叫做 G 的星形因子。进一步,如果对于图 G 的每一条边都存在一个星形因子包含这条边,则称图 G 是星形因子覆盖的。本文给出了图是{P_2,P_3}一因子覆盖的充要条件,并证明了任意正则图均存在星形因子覆盖。     

4p阶三度点传递图

一个图称为点传递图或对称图如果它的自同构群分别在点集或点集有序对上传递.设P为素数,给出了4p阶连通三度点传递图分类(徐明曜等在[Chin.Ann.Math.,2004,25B(4):545-554]中分类了4p阶连通三度对称图).确定了4p阶互不同构的连通三度点传递图的个数f(4p);当P=2,3,5,7时,f(4p)分别为2,4,8,6;当P≥11且4|(p-1)时,f(4p)=5+p-3/2,当P≥11且4|(p-1)时,f(4p)=3+p-3/2.     

关于图的L(2,1)标号核图

图的L(2,1)标号核图来自频率分配问题而导致的图论问题.在本文中,我们证得(i)对任意简单图G,存在G的一个标号核图Gcore,使得L(G)=L(Gcore)和L(G)≥|V(Gcore)|-1;(ii)设图G有p个顶点且边集|E(G)|≠φ,存在路 Pi G(1≤i≤m)和路Hs G(1≤s≤n),其中在G中V(Pi)∩V(Pj)=φ(i≠j),在G中V(P,)∩V(Pt)=φ(s≠t),则有m∑t=1|V(Pt)|+n∑s=1|V(Hs)|-(m+n)≥p;(iii)G是p(p≥5)个顶点的简单图,则有p+3≤L(G)+L(G)≤3p-4.     

一类线图的泛圈性

本文的主要结果是:设G是n≥3阶简单图,ε≥2,且不含3度的边,若GC_4,C_5及C_4∪K_1且对任意无公共顶点的两边e_1和e_2,有d(e_1) d(e_2)≥2n-3,则G的线圈L(G)是泛圈图。

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.     

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.     

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．     

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 $p$.     

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.     

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.     

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.
