Butterfly minors are a generalisation of the minor containment relation for undirected graphs to directed graphs. Many results in directed structural graph theory use this notion as a central tool next to directed treewidth, a…

An $(r,z,k)$-mixed graph $G$ has every vertex with undirected degree $r$, directed in- and out-degree $z$, and diameter $k$. In this paper, we study the case $r=z=1$, proposing some new constructions of $(1,1,k)$-mixed graphs with a large…

Abelian Cayley digraphs can be constructed by using a generalization to $Z^n$ of the concept of congruence in $Z$. Here we use this approach to present a family of such digraphs, which, for every fixed value of the degree, have…

Suppose we concatenate two directed graphs, each isomorphic to a $d$ dimensional butterfly (but not necessarily identical to each other). Select any set of $2^k$ input and $2^k$ output nodes on the resulting graph. Then there exist node…

Given positive integers $k$ and $n$, we present methods to construct all groups of order at most $n$ that contain a Cayley set of size $k$, and to enumerate the Cayley sets of order $k$ in a given group, up to the action of the automorphism…

The degree-diameter problem seeks to find the maximum possible order of a graph with a given (maximum) degree and diameter. It is known that graphs attaining the maximum possible value (the Moore bound) are extremely rare, but much activity…

The characterization of distance-regular Cayley graphs originated from the problem of identifying strongly regular Cayley graphs, or equivalently, regular partial difference sets. In this paper, a classification of distance-regular Cayley…

Radial Moore graphs and digraphs are extremal graphs related to the Moore ones where the distance-preserving spanning tree is preserved for some vertices. This leads to classify them according to their proximity to being a Moore graph or…

The diameter of a graph measures the maximal distance between any pair of vertices. The diameters of many small-world networks, as well as a variety of other random graph models, grow logarithmically in the number of nodes. In contrast, the…

The degree/diameter problem for mixed graphs asks for the largest possible order of a mixed graph with given diameter and degree parameters. Similarly the \emph{degree/geodecity} problem concerns the smallest order of a $k$-geodetic mixed…

This paper considers the degree-diameter problem for extremal and largest known undirected circulant graphs of degree 2 to 9 of arbitrary diameter. As these graphs are vertex transitive it is possible to define their distance partition. The…

We consider random Cayley digraphs of order $n$ with uniformly distributed generating set of size $k$. Specifically, we are interested in the asymptotics of the probability such a Cayley digraph has diameter two as $n\to\infty$ and…

Efficiency of routing on a regular digraph often involves finding opitmal properties of the graph. For example, the diameter of a digraph is the maximum distance between any two vertices. We show how we can study these problems…

A nut graph is a non-trivial simple graph such that its adjacency matrix has a one-dimensional null space spanned by a full vector. It was recently shown by the authors that there exists a $d$-regular circulant nut graph of order $n$ if and…

Moore digraphs, that is digraphs with out-degree $d$, diameter $k$ and order equal to the Moore bound $M(d,k) = 1 + d + d^2 + \dots +d^k$, arise in the study of optimal network topologies. In an attempt to find digraphs with a `Moore-like'…
