A Cayley map is a 2-cell embedding of a Cayley graph into an orientable surface with the same local orientation induced by a cyclic permutation of generators at each vertex. In this paper, we provide classifications of prime-valent regular…
As a main result of this paper we give conditions under which the generalized $X$-join of Cayley graphs is a Cayley graph. In particular, we show that $X$-join of isomorphic Cayley graphs is a Cayley grpah. To do this, new properties for a…
We construct tree-decompositions of graphs that distinguish all their k-blocks and tangles of order k, for any fixed integer k. We describe a family of algorithms to construct such decompositions, seeking to maximize their diversity subject…
Extending earlier results of Godsil and of Dobson and Malnic on Johnson graphs, we characterise those merged Johnson graphs $J=J(n,k)_I$ which are Cayley graphs, that is, which are connected and have a group of automorphisms acting…
In this paper, we study $(1,2)$-step competition graphs of bipartite tournaments. A bipartite tournament means an orientation of a complete bipartite graph. We show that the $(1,2)$-step competition graph of a bipartite tournament has at…
A Cayley hyper-digraph is a directed hypergraph that its automorphism group contains a subgroup acting regularly on vertices and a Cayley hypermap is a hypermap whose automorphism group contains a subgroup which induces regular action on…
In this paper, we show the existence of a polynomial time graph isomorphism algorithm for all graphs excluding graphs that are locally trianglefree. This particular class of graphs allows to divide the graph into neighbourhood sub-graph…
A class of acyclic digraphs $\mathscr{C}$ is linearly unavoidable if there exists a constant $c$ such that every digraph $D\in \mathscr{C}$ is contained in all tournaments of order $c\cdot |V(D)|$. The class of all acyclic digraphs is not…
A graph is said to be a bi-Cayley graph over a group H if it admits H as a group of automorphisms acting semiregularly on its vertices with two orbits. A non-abelian group is called an inner-abelian group if all of its proper subgroups are…
Let S be a finite generating set of a torsion-free, nilpotent group G. We show that every automorphism of the Cayley graph Cay(G;S) is affine. (That is, every automorphism of the graph is obtained by composing a group automorphism with…
A key generative principle within social and other complex networks is transitivity, where friends of friends are more likely friends. We propose a new model for highly dense complex networks based on transitivity, called the Iterated Local…
A tournament is an orientation of a complete graph. We say that a vertex $x$ in a tournament $\vec T$ controls another vertex $y$ if there exists a directed path of length at most two from $x$ to $y$. A vertex is called a king if it…
Packing and covering problems for metric spaces, and graphs in particular, are of essential interest in combinatorics and coding theory. They are formulated in terms of metric balls of vertices. We consider a new problem in graph theory…
Directed graphs occur throughout statistical modeling of networks, and exchangeability is a natural assumption when the ordering of vertices does not matter. There is a deep structural theory for exchangeable undirected graphs, which…
Brualdi and Li introduced tournament interchange graphs. In such a graph, each vertex represents a tournament. Traversing an edge corresponds to reversing a cyclically directed triangle. Such a triangle is neutral, in that its reversal does…
This paper deals with the Cayley graph $\Cay,$ where the generating set consists of all block transpositions. A motivation for the study of these particular Cayley graphs comes from current research in Bioinformatics. We prove that…
A vertex triple $(u,v,w)$ of a graph is called a $2$-geodesic if $v$ is adjacent to both $u$ and $w$ and $u$ is not adjacent to $w$. A graph is said to be $2$-geodesic transitive if its automorphism group is transitive on the set of…
We classify isomorphism-invariant random digraphs according to where randomness resides, namely, arcs, vertices, and vertices and arcs together which in turn yield arc random digraphs (ARD), vertex random digraphs (VRD) and vertex-arc…
One of the prominent areas of research in graph theory is the degree-diameter problem, in which we seek to determine how many vertices a graph may have when constrained to a given degree and diameter. Different variants of this problem are…
Given $k$ pairs of vertices $(s_i,t_i)$, $1\le i\le k$, of a digraph $G$, how can we test whether there exist $k$ vertex-disjoint directed paths from $s_i$ to $t_i$ for $1\le i\le k$? This is NP-complete in general digraphs, even for $k =…
