In 2020, Siemons and Zalesski [On the second eigenvalue of some Cayley graphs of the symmetric group. {\it arXiv preprint arXiv:2012.12460}, 2020] determined the second eigenvalue of the Cayley graph $\Gamma_{n,k} =…

Let $G$ be a finite group. For each $m>1$ we define the symmetric canonical subset $S=S(m)$ of the Cartesian power $G^m$ and we consider the family of Cayley graphs $\mathscr{G}_m(G)=Cay(G^m,S)$. We describe properties of these graphs and…

For fixed positive integers $n$ and $k$, the Kneser graph $KG_{n,k}$ has vertices labeled by $k$-element subsets of $\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ and edges between disjoint sets. Keeping $k$ fixed and allowing $n$ to grow, one obtains a family of…

The hyper-star graph $HS(n,k)$ is defined as follows : its vertex-set is the set of $ {0,1} $-sequences of length $n$ with weight $k$, where the weight of a sequence $v$ is the number of $1^,s$ in $v$, and two vertices are adjacent if and…
