Let G be an undirected graph, without loops or multiple edges. An automorphism of G is a permutation of the vertices of G that preserves adjacency. G is vertex transitive if, given any two vertices of G, there is an automorphism of the graph that maps one to the other. Similarly, G is edge transitive if for any two edges (a, b) and (c, d) of G there exists an automorphism f of G such that {c, d} = {f(a), f(b)}. A graph is regular of degree d if each vertex belongs to exactly d edges.

AbstractA simple undirected graph is said to be semisymmetric if it is regular and edge-transitive but not vertex-transitive. Let p be a prime. It was shown by Folkman [J. Folkman, ‘Regular line-symmetric graphs’, J. Combin. Theory3 (1967), 215–232] that a regular edge-transitive graph of order 2p or 2p2 is necessarily vertex-transitive. In this paper an extension of his result in the case of cubic graphs is given. It is proved that every cubic edge-transitive graph of order 8p2 is vertex-transitive.

Abstract Does every $n$-vertex Cayley graph have an orthonormal eigenbasis all of whose coordinates are $O(1/\sqrt{n})$? While the answer is yes for abelian groups, we show that it is no in general. On the other hand, we show that every $n$-vertex Cayley graph (and more generally, vertex-transitive graph) has an orthonormal basis whose coordinates are all $O(\sqrt{\log n / n})$, and that this bound is nearly best possible. Our investigation is motivated by a question of Assaf Naor, who proved that random abelian Cayley graphs are small-set expanders, extending a classic result of Alon–Roichman. His proof relies on the existence of a bounded eigenbasis for abelian Cayley graphs, which we now know cannot hold for general groups. On the other hand, we navigate around this obstruction and extend Naor’s result to nonabelian groups.

Let (G, ρ) be a finite connected (undirected) graph without loops and multiple edges. So x, y being two elements of G (vertices of the graph (G, ρ)), 〈x, y〉 ∊ ρ means that x and y are connected by an edge. Two vertices x, y ∊ G have the distance μ(x, y) equal to n, if n is the smallest number with the following property: there exists a sequence x0, x1, …, xn of vertices such that x0 = x, xn = y and 〈xi-1, Xi〉 ∊ ρ for i = 1, …, n. If x ∊ G, we put μ(x, x) = 0.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group. The power graph of [Formula: see text] is the undirected graph whose vertex set is [Formula: see text], and two distinct vertices are adjacent if one is a power of the other. The reduced power graph of [Formula: see text] is the subgraph of the power graph of [Formula: see text] obtained by deleting all edges [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are two distinct elements of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we determine the proper connection number of the reduced power graph of [Formula: see text]. As an application, we also determine the proper connection number of the power graph of [Formula: see text].

In this note, G will denote a finite undirected graph without multiple edges, and V = V(G) will denote its vertex set. The largest integer n for which G is n-vertex connected is the vertex-connectivity of G and will be denoted by λ = λ(G). One defines ζ to be the largest integer z not exceeding |V| such that for any set U ⊂ V with |U| = z, there is a cycle in G which contains U. The symbol i(U) will denote the component index of U. As a standard reference for this and other terminology, the authors recommend O. Ore (3).

In one procedure for finding the maximal prime decomposition of a Bayesian network or undirected graphical model, the first step is to create a minimal triangulation of the network, and a common and straightforward way to do this is to create a triangulation that is not necessarily minimal and then thin this triangulation by removing excess edges. We show that the algorithm for thinning proposed in several previous publications is incorrect. A different version of this algorithm is available in the R package gRbase, but its correctness has not previously been proved. We prove that this version is correct and provide a simpler version, also with a proof. We compare the speed of the two corrected algorithms in three ways and find that asymptotically their speeds are the same, neither algorithm is consistently faster than the other, and in a computer experiment the algorithm used by gRbase is faster when the original graph is large, dense, and undirected, but usually slightly slower when it is directed.

AbstractThe core of a graph Γ is the smallest graph Δ that is homomorphically equivalent to Γ (that is, there exist homomorphisms in both directions). The core of Γ is unique up to isomorphism and is an induced subgraph of Γ. We give a construction in some sense dual to the core. The hull of a graph Γ is a graph containing Γ as a spanning subgraph, admitting all the endomorphisms of Γ, and having as core a complete graph of the same order as the core of Γ. This construction is related to the notion of a synchronizing permutation group, which arises in semigroup theory; we provide some more insight by characterizing these permutation groups in terms of graphs. It is known that the core of a vertex-transitive graph is vertex-transitive. In some cases we can make stronger statements: for example, if Γ is a non-edge-transitive graph, we show that either the core of Γ is complete, or Γ is its own core. Rank-three graphs are non-edge-transitive. We examine some families of these to decide which of the two alternatives for the core actually holds. We will see that this question is very difficult, being equivalent in some cases to unsolved questions in finite geometry (for example, about spreads, ovoids and partitions into ovoids in polar spaces).

The purpose of this paper is to investigate for graphs the existence of certain valuations which have some "magic" property. The question about the existence of such valuations arises from the investigation of another kind of valuations which are introduced in [1] and are related to cyclic decompositions of complete graphs into isomorphic subgraphs.Throughout this paper the word graph will mean a finite undirected graph without loops or multiple edges having at least one edge. By G(m, n) we denote a graph having m vertices and n edges, by V(G) and E(G) the vertex-set and the edge-set of G, respectively. Both vertices and edges are called the elements of the graph.
