In this paper, we present a method to obtain regular (or equitable) partitions of Cayley (di)graphs (that is, graphs, digraphs, or mixed graphs) of permutation groups on $n$ letters. We prove that every partition of the number $n$ gives…

A graph is called integral if all its eigenvalues are integers. A Cayley graph is called normal if its connection set is a union of conjugacy classes. We show that a non-empty integral normal Cayley graph for a group of odd order has an odd…
