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 $q\geq 16$, which are the smallest known so far whenever $q-1$ is not a prime power or a prime power plus one itself.

AbstractIn this paper the following result is proved. Suppose there exists a C-matrix of order n + 1. Then if n≡1 (mod 4) there exists a Hadamard matrix of order 2nr(n + 1), while if n≡3 (mod 4) there exists a Hadamard matrix of order nr(n + 1) for all r ≧0. If n≡1 (mod 4) is a prime power, the method is adapted to prove the existence of a Hadamard matrix of the Williamson type, of order 2nr(n + 1), for all r ≧0.

Geometric Properties

In this paper, we construct new infinite families of regular graphs of girth 7 of smallest order known so far. Our constructions are based on combinatorial and geometric properties of $(q+1,8)$-cages, for $q$ a prime power. We remove vertices from such cages and add matchings among the vertices of minimum degree to achieve regularity in the new graphs. We obtain $(q+1)$-regular graphs of girth 7 and order $2q^3+q^2+2q$ for each even prime power $q \ge 4$, and of order $2q^3+2q^2-q+1$ for each odd prime power $q\ge 5$. A corrigendum was added to this paper on 21 June 2016.

Abelian Covers

Quite a lot of attention has been paid recently to the characterization and construction of edge- or arc-transitive abelian (mostly cyclic or elementary abelian) covers of symmetric graphs, but there are rare results for nonabelian covers since the voltage graph techniques are generally not easy to be used in this case. In this paper, we will classify certain metacyclic arc-transitive covers of all non-complete symmetric graphs with prime valency and twice a prime order $2p$ (involving the complete bipartite graph ${\sf K}_{p,p}$, the Petersen graph, the Heawood graph, the Hadamard design on $22$ points and an infinite family of prime-valent arc-regular graphs of dihedral groups). A few previous results are extended.

Simple Connected Graph

A graph G consists of non-empty set of vertex/vertices (also called node/nodes) and the set of lines connecting two vertices called edge/edges. The vertex set of a graph G is denoted by V(G) and the edge set is denoted by E(G). A Rectilinear Monotone r-Regular Planar Graph is a simple connected graph that consists of vertices with same degree and horizontal or diagonal straight edges without vertical edges and edges crossing. This research shows that there are infinite family of rectilinear monotone r-regular planar graphs for r = 3and r = 4. For r = 5, there are two drawings of rectilinear monotone r-regular planar graphs with 12 vertices and 16 vertices. Keywords: Monotone Drawings, Planar Graphs, Rectilinear Graphs, Regular Graphs

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 $n(\{r,m\};g)$. If $m=r+1$, an $(\{r,m\};g)$-cage is said to be a semiregular cage.In this paper we generalize the reduction and graph amalgam operations from [M. Abreu,  G. Araujo-Pardo, C. Balbuena, D. Labbate. Families of Small Regular Graphs of Girth $5$. Discrete Math. 312 (2012) 2832--2842] on the incidence graphs of an affine and a biaffine plane obtaining two new infinite families of biregular cages and two new semiregular cages. The constructed new families are $(\{r,2r-3\};5)$-cages for all $r=q+1$ with $q$ a prime power, and $(\{r,2r-5\};5)$-cages for all $r=q+1$ with $q$ a prime. The new semiregular cages are constructed for $r=5$ and $6$ with $31$ and $43$ vertices respectively.

Longest Cycles

In this paper, we study the following question: How long a cycle must there be in a 3-connected 3-regular graph on n vertices? For planar graphs this question goes back to Tait [6], who conjectured that any planar 3-connected 3-regular graph is hamiltonian. Tutte [7] disproved this conjecture by finding a counterexample on 46 vertices. Using Tutte's example, Grunbaum and Motzkin [3] constructed an infinite family of 3-connected 3-regular planar graphs such that the length of a longest cycle in each member of the family is at most nc, where c = 1 – 2–17 and n is the number of vertices. The exponent c was subsequently reduced by Walther [8, 9] and by Grùnbaum and Walther [4].

A graph is $n$-e.c.$\,$ ($n$-existentially closed) if for every pair of subsets $U$, $W$ of the vertex set $V$ of the graph such that $U\cap W=\emptyset$ and $|U|+|W|=n$, there is a vertex $v\in V-(U\cup W)$ such that all edges between $v$ and $U$ are present and no edges between $v$ and $W$ are present. A graph is strongly regular if it is a regular graph such that the number of vertices mutually adjacent to a pair of vertices $v_1,v_2\in V$ depends only on whether or not $\{v_1,v_2\}$ is an edge in the graph. The only strongly regular graphs that are known to be $n$-e.c. for large $n$ are the Paley graphs. Recently D. G. Fon-Der-Flaass has found prolific constructions of strongly regular graphs using affine designs. He notes that some of these constructions were also studied by Wallis. By taking the affine designs to be Hadamard designs obtained from Paley tournaments, we use probabilistic methods to show that many non-isomorphic strongly regular $n$-e.c. graphs of order $(q+1)^2$ exist whenever $q\geq 16 n^2 2^{2n}$ is a prime power such that $q\equiv 3\!\!\!\pmod{4}$.

Paley Graphs

A graph is $3$-e.c. if for every $3$-element subset $S$ of the vertices, and for every subset $T$ of $S$, there is a vertex not in $S$ which is joined to every vertex in $T$ and to no vertex in $S\setminus T$. Although almost all graphs are $3$-e.c., the only known examples of strongly regular $3$-e.c. graphs are Paley graphs with at least $29$ vertices. We construct a new infinite family of $3$-e.c. graphs, based on certain Hadamard matrices, that are strongly regular but not Paley graphs. Specifically, we show that Bush-type Hadamard matrices of order $16n^2$ give rise to strongly regular $3$-e.c. graphs, for each odd $n$ for which $4n$ is the order of a Hadamard matrix.
