چکیده
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 > 16, which are the smallest known so far whenever q − 1 is not a prime power or a prime power plus one itself.

A construction of small regular bipartite graphs of girth 8
Let q be a prime a power and k an integer such that 3 ≤ k ≤ q. In this paper we present a method using Latin squares to construct adjacency matrices of k-regular bipartite graphs of girth 8 on 2(kq − q) vertices. Some of these graphs have the smallest number of vertices among the known regular graphs with girth 8.
متن کاملOn regular graphs of girth six arising from projective planes
In 1967, Brown constructed small k-regular graphs of girth six as induced subgraphs of the incidence graph of a projective plane of order q, q ≥ k. Examining the construction method, we prove that starting from PG(2, q), q = p, p prime, there are no other constructions using this idea resulting in a (q + 1− t)-regular graph of girth six than the known ones, if t is not too large (t ≤ p and roug...
متن کاملFinding small regular graphs of girths 6, 8 and 12 as subgraphs of cages
Let q be a prime power and g ∈ {6, 8, 12}. In this paper we obtain (q, g)-graphs on 2qg/2−3(q2 − 1) vertices for g = 6, 8, 12 as subgraphs of known (q + 1, g)-cages. We also obtain (q − r, 6)-graphs on 2(q2 − rq − 1) vertices, and (q − r, 8)-graphs on 2(q3−rq2−q+r) vertices where r is a positive integer such that q ≥ r+3. Furthermore, we find (q − 1, 12)-graphs of order 2q2(q3 − q2 − q + 1). So...
متن کاملSmall Regular Graphs of Girth 7
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...
متن کاملConstructions of small regular bipartite graphs of girth 6
In this article, some structures in the projective plane of order q are found which allow us to construct small k regular balanced bipartite graphs of girth 6 for all k ≤ q . When k = q , the order of these q-regular graphs is 2(q2−1); andwhen k ≤ q−1, the order of these k -regular graphs is 2(qk − 2). Moreover, the incidence matrix of a k -regular balanced bipartite graph of girth 6 having 2(q...
