Random Cayley Digraphs and the Discrete Logarithm (Extended Abstract)

Random Cayley digraphs of diameter 2 and given degree

We consider random Cayley digraphs of order n with uniformly distributed generating sets of size k. Specifically, we are interested in the asymptotics of the probability that such a Cayley digraph has diameter two as n → ∞ and k = f(n), focusing on the functions f(n) = bnc and f(n) = bcnc. In both instances we show that this probability converges to 1 as n→ ∞ for arbitrary fixed δ ∈ ( 1 2 , 1) ...

Large butterfly Cayley graphs and digraphs

We present families of large undirected and directed Cayley graphs whose construction is related to butterfly networks. One approach yields, for every large k and for values of d taken from a large interval, the largest known Cayley graphs and digraphs of diameter k and degree d. Another method yields, for sufficiently large k and infinitely many values of d, Cayley graphs and digraphs of diame...

Large Cayley digraphs and bipartite Cayley digraphs of odd diameters

Let Cd,k be the largest number of vertices in a Cayley digraph of degree d and diameter k, and let BCd,k be the largest order of a bipartite Cayley digraph for given d and k. For every degree d ≥ 2 and for every odd k we construct Cayley digraphs of order 2k ( ⌊d2⌋ )k and diameter at most k, where k ≥ 3, and bipartite Cayley digraphs of order 2(k − 1) ( ⌊d2⌋ )k−1 and diameter at most k, where k...

Large Cayley digraphs of given degree and diameter from sharply t-transitive groups

We construct a family of Cayley digraphs of degree d, diameter k and order kbd/2ck for any d ≥ 4 and k ≥ 3. We also present a collection of bipartite Cayley digraphs of order at least (k − 1)bd/2ck−1 for any degree d ≥ 4 and diameter k ≥ 4. For sufficiently large d and k, our digraphs are the largest known Cayley digraphs of degree d and diameter k, where k 6= d − 1 or d, and our bipartite digr...
