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…
The generalised random graph contains $n$ vertices with positive i.i.d. weights. The probability of adding an edge between two vertices is increasing in their weights. We require the weight distribution to have finite second moments and…
The problem of establishing the number of perfect matchings necessary to cover the edge-set of a cubic bridgeless graph is strictly related to a famous conjecture of Berge and Fulkerson. In this paper we prove that deciding whether this…
It was shown by Beisegel, Chudnovsky, Gurvich, Milani\v{c}, and Servatius in 2022 that every induced $2$-edge path in a vertex-transitive graph closes to an induced cycle. Similar results were obtained for 3-edge paths closing to cycles in…
Bondy and Vince showed that every graph with minimum degree at least three contains two cycles of lengths differing by one or two.We prove the following average degree counterpart that every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with at least $\frac52(n-1)$…
We show that if G is a nontrivial, finite group of odd order, whose commutator subgroup [G,G] is cyclic of order p^m q^n, where p and q are prime, then every connected Cayley graph on G has a hamiltonian cycle.
A resolving set for a graph $G$ is a set of vertices $Q = \{q_1, ..., q_k\}$ such that, for all $p\in V(G)$ the $k$-tuple $(d(p, q_1), ..., d(p, q_k ))$ uniquely determines $p$, where $d(p, q_i)$ is considered as the minimum length of a…
Suppose G is a finite group, such that |G| = 16p, where p is prime. We show that if S is any generating set of G, then there is a hamiltonian cycle in the corresponding Cayley graph Cay(G;S).
Generalizing a result of Conway, Sloane, and Wilkes for real reflection groups, we show the Cayley graph of an imprimitive complex reflection group with respect to standard generating reflections has a Hamiltonian cycle. This is consistent…
Periodic orbits (equivalence classes of closed paths up to cyclic shifts) play an important role in applications of graph theory. For example, they appear in the definition of the Ihara zeta function and exact trace formulae for the spectra…
The energy of a graph $G$, denoted by $E(G)$, is defined as the sum of the absolute values of all eigenvalues of $G$. Let $n$ be an even number and $\mathbb{U}_{n}$ be the set of all conjugated unicyclic graphs of order $n$ with maximum…
A graph $G$ is called an $[s,t]$-graph if any induced subgraph of $G$ of order $s$ has size at least $t$. In 2024, Zhan conjectured that every $2$-connected $[p + 2, p]$-graph of order at least $2p + 3$ and with minimum degree at least $p$…
A graph $X$ is $k$-spanning cyclable if for any subset $S$ of $k$ distinct vertices there is a 2-factor of $X$ consisting of $k$ cycles such that each vertex in $S$ belongs to a distinct cycle. In this paper we examine the $k$-spanning…
This paper focuses on the embeddability of hypercubes in an important class of Cayley graphs, known as augmented cubes. An $n$-dimensional augmented cube $AQ_n$ is constructed by augmenting the $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_n$ with…
Let $C_{k_1}, \ldots, C_{k_n}$ be cycles with $k_i\geq 2$ vertices ($1\le i\le n$). By attaching these $n$ cycles together in a linear order, we obtain a graph called a polygon chain. By attaching these $n$ cycles together in a cyclic…

Perfect state transfer (PST) has great significance due to its applications in quantum information processing and quantum computation. In this paper we present a characterization on connected simple Cayley graph $\Gamma={\rm Cay}(G,S)$…
Let $\Gamma$ be an undirected and simple graph. A set $ S $ of vertices in $\Gamma$ is called a {cyclic vertex cutset} of $\Gamma$ if $\Gamma - S$ is disconnected and has at least two components containing cycles. If $\Gamma$ has a cyclic…
Concerning the recent notion of circular chromatic number of signed graphs, for each given integer $k$ we introduce two signed bipartite graphs, each on $2k^2-k+1$ vertices, having shortest negative cycle of length $2k$, and the circular…
Counting the number of Hamiltonian cycles that are contained in a geometric graph is {\bf \#P}-complete even if the graph is known to be planar \cite{lot:refer}. A relaxation for problems in plane geometric graphs is to allow the geometric…
