Girth 5 graphs from relative difference sets

  • Leif K. Jørgensen
چکیده

We consider the problem of construction of graphs with given degree k and girth 5 and as few vertices as possible. We give a construction of a family of girth 5 graphs based on relative difference sets. This family contains the smallest known graph of degree 8 and girth 5 which was constructed by G. Royle, four of the known cages including the Hoffman-Singleton graph, some graphs constructed by G. Exoo and some new smallest known graphs.

Locating-Dominating Sets and Identifying Codes in Graphs of Girth at least 5

Locating-dominating sets and identifying codes are two closely related notions in the area of separating systems. Roughly speaking, they consist in a dominating set of a graph such that every vertex is uniquely identified by its neighbourhood within the dominating set. In this paper, we study the size of a smallest locating-dominating set or identifying code for graphs of girth at least 5 and o...

On graphs with excess or defect 2

The Moore bound m(d, k) = 1 + d ∑k−1 i=0 (d − 1)i is a lower bound for the number of vertices of a graph by given girth g = 2k + 1 and minimal degree d. Hoffmann and Singleton [5], Bannai and Ito [1], Damerell [4] showed that graphs with d > 2 tight to this bound can only exist for girth 5 and degree 3, 7, 57. The difference to the Moore bound by given girth is called the excess of a graph. In ...

A note on independent domination in graphs of girth 5

Let G be a simple graph of order n, maximum degree ∆ and minimum degree δ ≥ 2. The independent domination number i(G) is defined to be the minimum cardinality among all maximal independent sets of vertices of G. The girth g(G) is the minimum length of a cycle in G. We establish sharp upper and lower bounds, as functions of n, ∆ and δ, for the independent domination number of graphs G with g(G) ...

Independent sets and cuts in large-girth regular graphs

We present a local algorithm producing an independent set of expected size 0.44533n on large-girth 3-regular graphs and 0.40407n on large-girth 4-regular graphs. We also construct a cut (or bisection or bipartite subgraph) with 1.34105n edges on large-girth 3regular graphs. These decrease the gaps between the best known upper and lower bounds from 0.0178 to 0.01, from 0.0242 to 0.0123 and from ...

Planar Graphs of Odd-Girth at Least 9 are Homomorphic to the Petersen Graph

Let G be a graph and let c : V (G) → ({1,...,5} 2 ) be an assignment of 2-element subsets of the set {1, . . . , 5} to the vertices of G such that for every edge vw, the sets c(v) and c(w) are disjoint. We call such an assignment a (5, 2)-coloring. A graph is (5,2)-colorable if and only if it has a homomorphism to the Petersen graph. The odd-girth of a graph G is the length of the shortest odd ...
