We present simple, geometric constructions for small regular graphs of girth 7 from the incidence graphs of some generalized quadrangles. We obtain infinite families of (q-1)-regular, q-regular and (q + 1)-regular graphs of girth 7, for q a…

In this note we construct a new infinite family of $(q-1)$-regular graphs of girth $8$ and order $2q(q-1)^2$ for all prime powers $q\ge 16$, which are the smallest known so far whenever $q-1$ is not a prime power or a prime power plus one…

Let $2 \le r < m$ and $g$ be positive integers. An $({r,m};g)$--graph} (or biregular graph) is a graph with degree set ${r,m}$ and girth $g$, and an $({r,m};g)$-cage (or biregular cage) is an $({r,m};g)$-graph of minimum order $n({r,m};g)$.…

Let $k\ge 1$ be an odd integer, $t=\lfloor {{k+2}\over 4}\rfloor$, and $q$ be a prime power. We construct a bipartite, $q$-regular, edge-transitive graph $C\!D(k,q)$ of order $v \le 2q^{k-t+1}$ and girth $g \ge k+5$. If $e$ is the the…

Let $q$ be a prime power; $(q+1,8)$-cages have been constructed as incidence graphs of a non-degenerate quadric surface in projective 4-space $P(4, q)$. The first contribution of this paper is a construction of these graphs in an…

An edge-girth-regular graph $egr(v,k,g,\lambda)$, is a $k$-regular graph of order $v$, girth $g$ and with the property that each of its edges is contained in exactly $\lambda$ distinct $g$-cycles. An $egr(v,k,g,\lambda)$ is called extremal…

The first known families of cages arised from the incidence graphs of generalized polygons of order $q$, $q$ a prime power. In particular, $(q+1,6)$--cages have been obtained from the projective planes of order $q$. Morever, infinite…

We exhibit a new construction of edge-regular graphs with regular cliques that are not strongly regular. The infinite family of graphs resulting from this construction includes an edge-regular graph with parameters $(24,8,2)$. We also show…

In this paper we are interested in the {\it{Cage Problem}} that consists in constructing regular graphs of given girth $g$ and minimum order. We focus on girth $g=5$, where cages are known only for degrees $k \le 7$. We construct regular…

It is well known that 3--regular graphs with arbitrarily large girth exist. Three constructions are given that use the former to produce non-Hamiltonian 3--regular graphs without reducing the girth, thereby proving that such graphs with…

We prove properties of extremal graphs of girth 5 and order 20 <=v <= 32. In each case we identify the possible minimum and maximum degrees, and in some cases prove the existence of (non-trivial) embedded stars. These proofs allow for…

Considering regular graphs with every edge in a triangle we prove lower bounds for the number of triangles in such graphs. For r-regular graphs with r <= 5 we exhibit families of graphs with exactly that number of triangles and then…

In 2010 it was proved that a 3-regular matchstick graph of girth 5 must consist at least of 30 vertices. The smallest known example consisted of 180 vertices. In this article we construct an example consisting of 54 vertices and prove its…

Let $q$ be a power of the prime 3. A locally 5-arc transitive $G$-graph of pushing up type is constructed for each value of $q$. For $q=3$, the $G$-graph constructed provides an example of a graph with a vertex stabilizer amalgam of shape…

Given a group $G$, let us connect two non-identity elements by an edge if and only if one is a power of another. This gives a graph structure on $G$ minus identity, called the reduced power graph. In this paper, we shall find the exact…

The components of the graphs $D(n, q)$ provide the best-known general lower bound for the number of edges in a graph with $n$ vertices and no cycles of length less than $g$. In this paper, we give a new, short, and simpler proof of the fact…

For every integer d > 9, we construct infinite families {G_n}_n of d+1-regular graphs which have a large girth > log_d |G_n|, and for d large enough > 1,33 log_d |G_n|. These are Cayley graphs on PGL_2(q) for a special set of d+1 generators…

The family of generalized Paley graphs of prime power order $q$ and degree $(q-1)/k$ is studied. It is shown that the automorphism group of a graph in this family is a subgroup of ${\mathrm{A\Gamma L}}(1,q)$ whenever $q$ is sufficiently…

In this paper we continue the study of prime graphs of finite solvable groups. The prime graph, or Gruenberg-Kegel graph, of a finite group G has vertices consisting of the prime divisors of the order of G and an edge from primes p to q if…

We construct a new family of strongly regular graphs with the same parameters as the strongly regular graphs $D_{5,5}(q)$. The construction can be seen as a variant of the construction of twisted Grassmann graphs by Van Dam and Koolen.
