Regular Graphs of given Girth

چکیده
Graph theory is the study of mathematical structures called graphs. We define a graph as a pair (V,E), where V is a nonempty set, and E is a set of unordered pairs of elements of V . V is called the set of vertices of G, and E is the set of edges. Two vertices a and b are adjacent provided (a, b) ∈ E. If a pair of vertices is adjacent, the vertices are referred to as neighbors. We can represent a graph by representing the vertices as points and the edges as line segments connecting two vertices, where vertices a, b ∈ V are connected by a line segment if and only if (a, b) ∈ E. Figure 1 is an example of a graph with vertices V = {x, y, z, w} and edges E = {(x,w), (z, w), (y, z)}.

Non-Hamiltonian 3–Regular Graphs with Arbitrary Girth
It is well known that 3–regular graphs with arbitrarily large girth exist. Three constructions are given that use the former to produce non-Hamiltonian 3–regular graphs without reducing the girth, thereby proving that such graphs with arbitrarily large girth also exist. The resulting graphs can be 1–, 2– or 3–edge-connected depending on the construction chosen. From the constructions arise (nai...
متن کاملOn Subgraphs in Distance-Regular Graphs
Terwilliger [15] has given the diameter bound d < (s 1)(k 1) + 1 for distance-regular graphs with girth 2s and valency k. We show that the only distance-regular graphs with even girth which reach this bound are the hypercubes and the doubled Odd graphs. Also we improve this bound for bipartite distance-regular graphs. Weichsel [17] conjectures that the only distance-regular subgraphs of a hyper...
متن کاملThe second eigenvalue of regular graphs of given girth
Lower bounds on the subdominant eigenvalue of regular graphs of given girth are derived. Our approach is to approximate the discrete spectrum of a finite regular graph by the continuous spectrum of an infinite regular tree. We interpret these spectra as probability distributions and the girth condition as equalities between the moments of these distributions. Then the associated orthogonal poly...
متن کاملThe Second Eigenvalue and Random Walks in Random Regular Graphs with Increasing Girth
The goal of this thesis is to upper bound the expected value of the second largest eigenvalue in magnitude of random regular graphs with a given minimum girth. Having a small upper bound implies such random graphs are likely to be expanders and thus have several combinatorial properties useful in various fields of computer science. The best possible upper bound asymptotically on the second eige...
متن کاملApplications of Integer Programming Methods to Cages
The aim of this paper is to construct new small regular graphs with girth 7 using integer programming techniques. Over the last two decades solvers for integer programs have become more and more powerful and have proven to be a useful aid for many hard combinatorial problems. Despite successes in many related fields, these optimisation tools have so far been absent in the quest for small regula...
متن کاملFast generation of regular graphs and construction of cages
The construction of complete lists of regular graphs up to isomorphism is one of the oldest problems in constructive combinatorics. In this paper an efficient algorithm to generate regular graphs with given number of vertices and vertex degree is introduced. The method is based on orderly generation refined by criteria to avoid isomorphism checking and combined with a fast test for canonicity. ...
