چکیده

A near-polygonal graph is a graph Γ which has a set C of m-cycles for some positive integer m such that each 2-path of Γ is contained in exactly one cycle in C. If m is the girth of Γ , then the graph is called polygonal. We provide a construction of an infinite family of polygonal graphs of arbitrary even girth with 2-arc transitive automorphism groups, showing that there are infinitely many 2-arc transitive polygonal graphs of every girth.

Constructing an Infinite Family of Cubic 1-Regular Graphs

A graph is 1-regular if its automorphism group acts regularly on the set of its arcs. Miller [J. Comb. Theory, B, 10 (1971), 163–182] constructed an infinite family of cubic 1-regular graphs of order 2p, where p ≥ 13 is a prime congruent to 1 modulo 3. Marušič and Xu [J. Graph Theory, 25 (1997), 133– 138] found a relation between cubic 1-regular graphs and tetravalent half-transitive graphs wit...

Symmetrical path-cycle covers of a graph and polygonal graphs

A near-polygonal graph is a graph Γ which has a set C of m-cycles for some positive integer m such that each 2-path of Γ is contained in exactly one cycle in C. If m is the girth of Γ then the graph is called polygonal. We introduce a method for constructing near-polygonal graphs with 2-arc transitive automorphism groups. As special cases, we obtain several new infinite families of polygonal gr...

Explicit Construction of Graphs with an Arbitrary Large Girth and of Large Size

Let k ≥ 3 be a positive odd integer and q be a power of a prime. In this paper we give an explicit construction of a q–regular bipartite graph on v = 2q vertices with girth g ≥ k + 5. The constructed graph is the incidence graph of a flag–transitive semiplane. For any positive integer t we also give an example of a q = 2–regular bipartite graph on v = 2q vertices with girth g ≥ k + 5 which is b...

Tetravalent edge-transitive Cayley graphs with odd number of vertices

A characterisation is given of edge-transitive Cayley graphs of valency 4 on odd number of vertices. The characterisation is then applied to solve several problems in the area of edge-transitive graphs: answering a question proposed by Xu (1998) regarding normal Cayley graphs; providing a method for constructing edge-transitive graphs of valency 4 with arbitrarily large vertex-stabiliser; const...

An Infinite Family of 4-arc-transitive Cubic Graphs Each with Girth 12

If p is any prime, and 6 is that automorphism of the group SL(3,/>) which takes each matrix to the transpose of its inverse, then there exists a connected trivalent graph F(p) on ^p(p—\)(p — \) vertices with the split extension SL(3,/?)<0> as a group of automorphisms acting regularly on its 4-arcs. In fact if/? / 3 then this group is the full automorphism group of f(p), while the graph F(3) is ...
