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…

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…

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 $q\ge 2$ be a prime power. In this note we present a formulation for obtaining the known $(q+1,8)$-cages which has allowed us to construct small $(k,g)$--graphs for $k=q-1, q$ and $g=7,8$. Furthermore, we also obtain smaller…

A $[z,r;g]$-mixed cage is a mixed graph of minimum order such that each vertex has $z$ in-arcs, $z$ out-arcs, $r$ edges, and it has girth $g$, and the minimum order for $[z,r;g]$-mixed graphs is denoted by $n[z,r;g]$. In this paper, we…

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…

The cage problem asks for the smallest number $c(k,g)$ of vertices in a $k$-regular graph of girth $g$ and graphs meeting this bound are known as cages. While cages are known to exist for all integers $k \ge 2$ and $g \ge 3$, the exact…

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 $n({r,m};g)$.…

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…

We give a general construction leading to different non-isomorphic families $\Gamma_{n,q}(\K)$ of connected $q$-regular semisymmetric graphs of order $2q^{n+1}$ embedded in $\PG(n+1,q)$, for a prime power $q=p^h$, using the linear…

In this paper we obtain $(q+3)$--regular graphs of girth 5 with fewer vertices than previously known ones for $q=13,17,19$ and for any prime $q \ge 23$ performing operations of reductions and amalgams on the Levi graph $B_q$ of an elliptic…

A mixed regular graph is a graph where every vertex has $z$ incoming arcs, $z$ outgoing arcs, and $r$ edges; furthermore, if it has girth $g$, we say that the graph is a \emph{$[z,r;g]$-mixed graph}. A \emph{$[z,r;g]$-mixed cage} is a…

We introduce a method for constructing larger families of connected cospectral graphs from two given cospectral families of sizes $p$ and $q$. The resulting family size depends on the Cartesian primality of the input graphs and can be one…

A [z,r;g]-mixed cage is a mixed graph of minimum order such that each vertex has z in-arcs, z out-arcs, r edges, and it has girth g. We present an infinite family of mixed graphs with girth 6. This construction also provides an upper bound…

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…

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…

A graph $\Gamma$ is basic if Aut$\Gamma$ has no normal subgroup $N\ne1$ such that $\Gamma$ is a normal cover of the normal quotient graph $\Gamma_N$. In this paper, we completely determine the basic normal quotient graphs of all connected…

We construct an infinite family of intriguing sets that are not tight in the Grassmann Graph of planes of PG$(n,q)$, $n\ge 5$ odd, and show that the members of the family are the smallest possible examples if $n\ge 9$ or $q\ge 25$.

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…

We use finite incident structures to construct new infinite families of directed strongly regular graphs with parameters \[(l(q-1)q^l,\ l(q-1)q^{l-1},\ (lq-l+1)q^{l-2},\ (l-1)(q-1)q^{l-2},\ (lq-l+1)q^{l-2})\] for integers $q$ and $l$ ($q,…
