Abstract

The algebraic degree Deg(G)Deg(G) of a graph GG is the dimension of the splitting field of the adjacency polynomial of GG over the field Q\mathbb{Q}. It can be shown that for every positive integer dd, there exists a circulant graph with algebraic degree dd. Let C(d)C(d) be the least positive integer such that there exists a circulant graph of order C(d)C(d) having algebraic degree dd. A graph GG is called dd-integral if Deg(G)=dDeg(G)=d. We call a dd-integral circulant graph \textit{minimal} if order of that graph equals C(d)C(d). Let Fn,d\mathcal{F}_{n,d} denote the collection of isomorphism classes of connected, dd-integral circulant graphs of some given possible order nn. In this paper we compute the exact value of C(d)C(d) and provide some bounds on Fn,d|\mathcal{F}_{n,d}|, thereby showing that the minimal dd-integral circulant graph is not unique. Moreover, we find the exact value of Fp,d|\mathcal{F}_{p,d}| where both pp and dd are prime.
