The graphs with a symmetrical Euler cycle
Abstract
The edges surrounding a face of a map form a cycle , called the boundary cycle of the face, and is often not a simple cycle. If the map is arc-transitive, then there is a cyclic subgroup of automorphisms of which leaves invariant and is bi-regular on the edges of the induced subgraph ; that is to say, is a symmetrical Euler cycle of . In this paper we determine the family of graphs (which may have multiple edges) whose edge-sets can be sequenced to form a symmetrical Euler cycle. We first classify all graphs which have a cyclic subgroup of automorphisms acting bi-regularly on edges. We then apply this classification to obtain the graphs possessing a symmetrical Euler cycle, and therefore are the (only) candidates for the induced subgraphs of the boundary cycles of the faces of arc-transitive maps.
