چکیده

We consider minimal 1-factor covers of regular multigraphs, focusing on those that are 1-factorizations. In particular, we classify cubic graphs such that every minimal 1-factor cover is also a 1-factorization, and also classify simple regular bipartite graphs with this property. For r > 3, we show that there are finitely many simple r-regular graphs such that every minimal 1-factor cover is also a 1-factorization.

Arc-transitive abelian regular covers of the Heawood graph

In this sequel to the paper ‘Arc-transitive abelian regular covers of cubic graphs’, all arc-transitive abelian regular covers of the Heawood graph are found. These covers include graphs that are 1-arc-regular, and others that are 4-arc-regular (like the Heawood graph). Remarkably, also some of these covers are 2-arc-regular.

Algorithmic Aspects of Regular Graph Covers with Applications to Planar Graphs

A graph G covers a graphH if there exists a locally bijective homomorphism from G to H. We deal with regular covers in which this locally bijective homomorphism is prescribed by an action of a subgroup of Aut(G). Regular covers have many applications in constructions and studies of big objects all over mathematics and computer science. We study computational aspects of regular covers that have ...

Antipodal covers of strongly regular graphs

Antipodal covers of strongly regular graphs which are not necessarily distance-regular are studied. The structure of short cycles in an antipodal cover is considered. In most cases, this provides a tool to determine if a strongly regular graph has an antipodal cover. In these cases, covers cannot be distance-regular except when they cover a complete bipartite graph. A relationship between antip...

Arc-Transitive Dihedral Regular Covers of Cubic Graphs

A regular covering projection is called dihedral or abelian if the covering transformation group is dihedral or abelian. A lot of work has been done with regard to the classification of arc-transitive abelian (or elementary abelian, or cyclic) covers of symmetric graphs. In this paper, we investigate arc-transitive dihedral regular covers of symmetric (arc-transitive) cubic graphs. In particula...

Arc-transitive regular cyclic covers of the complete bipartite graph

Characterizing regular covers of edge-transitive or arc-transitive graphs is currently a hot topic in algebraic graph theory. In this paper, we will classify arctransitive regular cyclic covers of the complete bipartite graph Kp,p for each odd prime p. The classification consists of four infinite families of graphs. In particular, such covers exist for each odd prime p. The regular elementary a...
