Abstract

Let GG be a finite group and construct a graph Δ(G)\Delta(G) by taking G{1}G\setminus\{1\} as the vertex set of Δ(G)\Delta(G) and by drawing an edge between two vertices xx and yy if x,y\langle x,y\rangle is cyclic. Let K(G)K(G) be the set consisting of the universal vertices of Δ(G)\Delta(G) along the identity element. For a solvable group GG, we present a necessary and sufficient conditon for K(G)K(G) to be nontrivial. We also develop a connection between Δ(G)\Delta(G) and K(G)K(G) when G|G| is divisible by two distinct primes and the diameter of Δ(G)\Delta(G) is 22.
