A graph is a core or unretractive if all its endomorphisms are automorphisms. Well-known examples of cores include the Petersen graph and the graph of the dodecahedron -- both generalized Petersen graphs. We characterize the generalized…

Given a permutation group $G$, the derangement graph $\Gamma_G$ of $G$ is the Cayley graph with connection set the set of all derangements of $G$. We prove that, when $G$ is transitive of degree at least $3$, $\Gamma_G$ contains a triangle.…

Among all uniform hypergraphs with even uniformity, the odd-transversal or odd-bipartite hypergraphs are more close to bipartite simple graphs from the viewpoint of both structure and spectrum. A hypergraph is called minimal…

A Cayley graph of a group $H$ is a finite simple graph $\Gamma$ such that ${\rm Aut}(\Gamma)$ contains a subgroup isomorphic to $H$ acting regularly on $V(\Gamma)$, while a Haar graph of $H$ is a finite simple bipartite graph $\Sigma$ such…

Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group of degree $n$. We say that $G$ is $2'$-elusive if $n$ is divisible by an odd prime, but $G$ does not contain a derangement of odd prime order. In this paper we study the structure of quasiprimitive…

A new infinite family of bipartite cubic 3-arc transitive graphs is constructed and studied. They provide the first known examples admitting a 2-arc transitive vertex-biquasiprimitive group of automorphisms for which the index two subgroup…

It is shown that exactly 7 distance-transitive cubic graphs among the existing 12 possess a particular ultrahomogeneous property with respect to oriented cycles realizing the girth that allows the construction of a related Cayley digraph…

In this paper, we take the classic dihedral and quaternion groups and explore questions like "what if we replace $i=e^{2\pi i/4}$ in $Q_8$ with a larger root of unity?" and "what if we add a reflection to $Q_8$?" The delightful answers…

A question at the intersection of Barnette's Hamiltonicity and Neumann-Lara's dicoloring conjecture is: Can every Eulerian oriented planar graph be vertex-partitioned into two acyclic sets? A CAI-partition of an undirected/oriented graph is…

Metacirculants are a basic and well-studied family of vertex-transitive graphs, and weak metacirculants are generalizations of them. A graph is called a weak metacirculant if it has a vertex-transitive metacyclic automorphism group. This…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $S\subseteq G\setminus\{1\}$ be a set such that if $a\in S$, then $a^{-1}\in S$, where $1$ denotes the identity element of $G$. The undirected Cayley graph $Cay(G,S)$ of $G$ over the set $S$ is the graph whose…

In this paper, we aim to address the open questions raised in various recent papers regarding characterization of circulant graphs with three or four distinct eigenvalues in their spectra. Our focus is on providing characterizations and…

For a positive integer $d$, a $d$-transversal set of a graph $G$ is an edge subset $T\subseteq E(G)$ such that $|T\cap M|\geq d$ for every maximum matching $M$ of $G$. The $d$-transversal number of $G$, denoted by $\tau_d(G)$, is the…

In this paper, we characterize some certain directed strongly regular Cayley graphs on Dihedral groups $D_{n}$, where $n\geqslant 3$ is a positive integer.

This short paper presents characterisations of normal arc-transitive circulants and arc-transitive normal circulants, that is, for a connected arc-transitive circulant $\Gamma=\Cay(C,S)$, it is shown that 1. Aut(C,S) is transitive on S if…

For every prime $p > 2$ we exhibit a Cayley graph of $\mathbb{Z}_p^{2p+3}$ which is not a CI-graph. This proves that an elementary Abelian $p$-group of rank greater than or equal to $2p+3$ is not a CI-group. The proof is elementary and uses…

It was proved in [Y.-Q. Feng, C. H. Li and J.-X. Zhou, Symmetric cubic graphs with solvable automorphism groups, {\em European J. Combin.} {\bf 45} (2015), 1-11] that a cubic symmetric graph with a solvable automorphism group is either a…

We identify all minimal chordal graphs that are not circular-arc graphs, thereby resolving one of ``the main open problems'' concerning the structures of circular-arc graphs as posed by Dur{\'{a}}n, Grippo, and Safe in 2011. The problem had…

Strongly regular Cayley graphs with Paley parameters over abelian groups of rank 2 were studied in [J.A Davis, Partial difference sets in p-groups, Arch.Math.63 (1994) 103-110; K.H Leung, S.L. Ma, Partial difference sets with Paley…

The \textbf{Co-Prime Order Graph} $\Theta (G)$ of a given finite group is a simple undirected graph whose vertex set is the group $G$ itself, and any two vertexes x,y in $\Theta (G)$ are adjacent if and only if $gcd(o(x),o(y))=1$ or prime.…
