Cubic Cayley graphs and snarks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The well-known conjecture that there are no snarks amongst Cayley graphs is considered. Combining the theory of Cayley maps with the existence of certain kinds of independent sets of vertices in arc-transitive graphs, some new partial results are obtained suggesting promising future research directions in regards to this conjecture.

On the distance eigenvalues of Cayley graphs
In this paper, we determine the distance matrix and its characteristic polynomial of a Cayley graph over a group G in terms of irreducible representations of G. We give exact formulas for n-prisms, hexagonal torus network and cubic Cayley graphs over abelian groups. We construct an innite family of distance integral Cayley graphs. Also we prove that a nite abelian group G admits a connected...
متن کاملDomination parameters of Cayley graphs of some groups
In this paper, we investigate domination number, $gamma$, as well as signed domination number, $gamma_{_S}$, of all cubic Cayley graphs of cyclic and quaternion groups. In addition, we show that the domination and signed domination numbers of cubic graphs depend on each other.
متن کاملImproved bounds for the shortness coefficient of cyclically 4-edge connected cubic graphs and snarks
We present a construction which shows that there is an infinite set of cyclically 4-edge connected cubic graphs on n vertices with no cycle longer than c4n for c4 = 12 13 , and at the same time prove that a certain natural family of cubic graphs cannot be used to lower the shortness coefficient c4 to 0. The graphs we construct are snarks so we get the same upper bound for the shortness coeffici...
متن کاملNon-Bicritical Critical Snarks
Snarks are cubic graphs with chromatic index 0 = 4. A snark G is called critical if 0 (G?fv; wg) = 3 for any two adjacent vertices v and w, and it is called bicritical if 0 (G ? fv; wg) = 3 for any two vertices v and w. We construct innnite families of critical snarks which are not bicritical. This solves a problem stated by Nedela and Skoviera in 7].
متن کاملGeneration of cubic graphs and snarks with large girth
We describe two new algorithms for the generation of all non-isomorphic cubic graphs with girth at least k ≥ 5 which are very efficient for 5 ≤ k ≤ 7 and show how these algorithms can be efficiently restricted to generate snarks with girth at least k. Our implementation of these algorithms is more than 30, respectively 40 times faster than the previously fastest generator for cubic graphs with ...
