A graph G is balanced if the maximum ratio of edges to vertices, taken over all subgraphs of G, occurs at G itself. This note uses the maxow/min-cut theorem to prove a good characterization of balanced graphs. This characterization is then applied to some results on how balanced graphs may be combined to form a larger balanced graph. In particular, we show that edge-transitive graphs and comple...

A regular and edge-transitive graph which is not vertex-transitive is said to be semisymmetric. Every semisymmetric graph is necessarily bipartite, with the two parts having equal size and the automorphism group acting transitively on each of these parts. A semisymmetric graph is called biprimitive if its automorphism group acts primitively on each part. In this paper biprimitive graphs of smal...

A decomposition of a graph is a partition of the edge set. One can also look at partitions of the arc set but in this talk we restrict our attention to edges. If each part of the decomposition is a spanning subgraph then we call the decomposition a factorisation and the parts are called factors. Decompositions are especially interesting when the subgraphs induced by each part are pairwise isomo...

We classify trivalent vertex-transitive graphs whose edge sets have a partition into 2-factor composed of two cycles and 1-factor that is invariant under the action automorphism group.

In this paper, a characterisation is given of finite s-arc transitive Cayley graphs with s ≥ 2. In particular, it is shown that, for any given integer k with k ≥ 3 and k 6= 7, there exists a finite set (maybe empty) of s-transitive Cayley graphs with s ∈ {3, 4, 5, 7} such that all s-transitive Cayley graphs of valency k are their normal covers. This indicates that s-arc transitive Cayley graphs...

Transitive permutation groups having a non self paired suborbit of length are investigated via the corresponding orbital graphs If G is such a group and X is the orbital graph associated with a sub orbit of length of G which is not self paired then X has valency and admits a vertex and edge but not arc transitive action of G There is a natural balanced orientation of the edge set of X induced a...

Families of edge transitive algebraic graphs defined over finite commutative rings were used for the development of stream ciphers, public key cryptosystems and key exchange protocols. We present the results of the first implementation of a public key algorithm based on the family of algebraic graphs, which are not edge transitive. The absence of an edge transitive group of symmetries means tha...

Computing the transitive closure in directed graphs is a fundamental graph problem. We consider the more restricted problem of computing the number of nodes reachable from every node and the size of the transitive closure. The fastest known transitive closure algorithms run in O(min{mn, n2.38}) time, where n is the number of nodes and m the number of edges in the graph. We present an O(m) time ...
