Abstract

In 2015, Bogdanowicz gave a necessary and sufficient condition for a 4-regular circulant graph to be isomorphic to the Cartesian product of two cycles. Accordion graphs, denoted by A[n,k]A[n,k], are 4-regular graphs on two parameters nn and kk which were recently introduced by the authors and studied with regards to Hamiltonicity and matchings. These graphs can be obtained by a slight modification in some of the edges of the Cartesian product of two cycles. Motivated by the work of Bogdanowicz, the authors also determined for which values of nn and kk the accordion graph A[n,k]A[n,k] is circulant. In this work we investigate what parameters a 4-regular circulant graph must have in order to be isomorphic to an accordion graph, thus providing a complete characterisation similar to that given by Bogdanowicz. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for two accordion graphs with distinct parameters to be isomorphic.
