2pq阶Cayley图是Hamilton图

一、引言对Cayley图的Hamilton性的研究近几年有所突破[1]现最好的结果是[2]的主要定理:若群G上的换位子群C′是p~n(p是素数,n是正整数)阶循环群时,G上的每个Cayley图皆为Hamilton图。1987年D.Marusic还证明了2p~2(p是素数)阶Cayley图为Hamilton图[4]。本文用群的构造理论证明:2pq(p,q是素数)阶Cayley图是Hamilton图。本文中所提到的群G皆指有限群;群的有关术语和记号同于文献[3];图的有关术

Circulant Double Coverings of a Circulant Graph of Valency Five

Enumerating the isomorphism classes of several types of graph covering projections is one of the central research topics in enumerative topological graph theory. A covering of G is called circulant if its covering graph is circulant. Recently, the authors [Discrete Math., 277, 73-85 （2004）1 enumerated the isomorphism classes of circulant double coverings of a certain type, called a typical covering, and showed that no double covering of a circulant graph of valency three is circulant. Also, in [Graphs and Combinatorics, 21,386 400 （2005）], the isomorphism classes of circulant double coverings of a circulant graph of valency four are enumerated. In this paper, the isomorphism classes of circulant double coverings of a circulant graph of valency five are enumerated.     

Circulant Double Coverings of a Circulant Graph of Valency Four

Several isomorphism classes of graph coverings of a graph G have been enumerated by many authors (see [3], [8]–[15]). A covering of G is called circulant if its covering graph is circulant. Recently, the authors [4] enumerated the isomorphism classes of circulant double coverings of a certain kind, called typical, and showed that no double covering of a circulant graph of valency 3 is circulant. In this paper, the isomorphism classes of connected circulant double coverings of a circulant graph of valency 4 are enumerated. As a consequence, it is shown that no double covering of a non-circulant graph G of valency 4 can be circulant if G is vertex-transitive or G has a prime power of vertices.

Enumerating typical abelian prime-fold coverings of a circulant graph

Enumerating the isomorphism classes of several types of graph coverings is one of the central research topics in enumerative topological graph theory (see [R. Feng, J.H. Kwak, J. Kim, J. Lee, Isomorphism classes of concrete graph coverings, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 11 (1998) 265-272; R. Feng, J.H. Kwak, Typical circulant double coverings of a circulant graph, Discrete Math. 277 (2004) 73-85; R. Feng, J.H. Kwak, Y.S. Kwon, Enumerating typical circulant covering projections onto a circulant graph, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 19 (2005) 196-207; SIAM J. Discrete Math. 21 (2007) 548-550 (erratum); M. Hofmeister, Graph covering projections arising from finite vector spaces over finite fields, Discrete Math. 143 (1995) 87-97; M. Hofmeister, Enumeration of concrete regular covering projections, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 8 (1995) 51-61; M. Hofmeister, A note on counting connected graph covering projections, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 11 (1998) 286-292; J.H. Kwak, J. Chun, J. Lee, Enumeration of regular graph coverings having finite abelian covering transformation groups, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 11 (1998) 273-285; J.H. Kwak, J. Lee, Isomorphism classes of graph bundles, Canad. J. Math. XLII (1990) 747-761]). A covering is called abelian (or circulant, respectively) if its covering graph is a Cayley graph on an abelian (or a cyclic, respectively) group. A covering p from a Cayley graph onto another Cay (Q,Y) is called typical if the map p:A→Q on the vertex sets is a group epimorphism. Recently, the isomorphism classes of connected typical circulant r-fold coverings of a circulant graph are enumerated in [R. Feng, J.H. Kwak, Typical circulant double coverings of a circulant graph, Discrete Math. 277 (2004) 73-85] for r=2 and in [R. Feng, J.H. Kwak, Y.S. Kwon, Enumerating typical circulant covering projections onto a circulant graph, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 19 (2005) 196-207; SIAM J. Discrete Math. 21 (2007) 548-550 (erratum)] for any r. As a continuation of these works, we enumerate in this paper the isomorphism classes of typical abelian prime-fold coverings of a circulant graph.     

On Cubic Graphs Admitting an Edge-Transitive Solvable Group

Using covering graph techniques, a structural result about connected cubic simple graphs admitting an edge-transitive solvable group of automorphisms is proved. This implies, among other, that every such graph can be obtained from either the 3-dipole Dip₃ or the complete graph K ₄, by a sequence of elementary-abelian covers. Another consequence of the main structural result is that the action of an arc-transitive solvable group on a connected cubic simple graph is at most 3-arc-transitive. As an application, a new infinite family of semisymmetric cubic graphs, arising as regular elementary abelian covering projections of K _3,3, is constructed.     

Independent coverings and orthogonal colourings

In this paper, two open conjectures are disproved. One conjecture regards independent coverings of sparse partite graphs, whereas the other conjecture regards orthogonal colourings of tree graphs. A relation between independent coverings and orthogonal colourings is established. This relation is applied to find independent coverings of some sparse partite graphs. Additionally, a degree condition providing the existence of an independent covering in the case where the graph has a square number of vertices is found.     

Finite cubic graphs admitting a cyclic group of automorphism with at most three orbits on vertices

The theory of voltage graphs has become a standard tool in the study of graphs admitting a semiregular group of automorphisms. We introduce the notion of a cyclic generalised voltage graph to extend the scope of this theory to graphs admitting a cyclic group of automorphisms that may not be semiregular. We use this new tool to classify all cubic graphs admitting a cyclic group of automorphisms with at most three vertex-orbits and we characterise vertex-transitivity for each of these classes. In particular, we show that a cubic vertex-transitive graph admitting a cyclic group of automorphisms with at most three orbits on vertices either belongs to one of 5 infinite families or is isomorphic to the well-known Tutte–Coxeter graph.     

Equitable partitions into matchings and coverings in mixed graphs

Matchings and coverings are central topics in graph theory. The close relationship between these two has been key to many fundamental algorithmic and polyhedral results. For mixed graphs, the notion of matching forest was proposed as a common generalization of matchings and branchings.In this paper, we propose the notion of mixed edge cover as a covering counterpart of matching forest, and extend the matching–covering framework to mixed graphs. While algorithmic and polyhedral results extend fairly easily, partition problems are considerably more difficult in the mixed case. We address the problems of partitioning a mixed graph into matching forests or mixed edge covers, so that all parts are equal with respect to some criterion, such as edge/arc numbers or total sizes. Moreover, we provide the best possible multicriteria equalization.     

A new 5-arc-transitive cubic graph

A connected cubic graph having 75,600 vertices is shown to exist, with the symmetric group S₁₀ as a group of automorphisms acting transitively on its 5-arcs. This graph is not bipartite, nor is it a covering of any other known 4- or 5-arc-transitive graph.     

Classifying cubic symmetric graphs of order 10p or 10p~2

A graph is called s-regular if its automorphism group acts regularly on the set of its s-arcs. In this paper, the s-regular cyclic or elementary abelian coverings of the Petersen graph for each s ≥ 1 are classified when the fibre-preserving automorphism groups act arc-transitively. As an application of these results, all s-regular cubic graphs of order 10p or 10p2 are also classified for each s ≥ 1 and each prime p, of which the proof depends on the classification of finite simple groups.
