Sequence mixed graphs
A mixed graph can be seen as a type of digraph containing some edges (or two opposite arcs). Here we introduce the concept of sequence mixed graphs, which is a generalization of both sequence graphs and literated line digraphs. These structures are proven to be useful in the problem of constructing dense graphs or digraphs, and this is related to the degree/diameter problem. Thus, our generalized approach gives rise to graphs that have also good ratio order/diameter. Moreover, we propose a general method for obtaining a sequence mixed diagraph by identifying some vertices of certain iterated line digraph. As a consequence, some results about distance-related parameters (mainly, the diameter and the average distance) of sequence mixed graphs are presented.Postprint (author's final draft
Large butterfly Cayley graphs and digraphs
We present families of large undirected and directed Cayley graphs whose
construction is related to butterfly networks. One approach yields, for every
large and for values of taken from a large interval, the largest known
Cayley graphs and digraphs of diameter and degree . Another method
yields, for sufficiently large and infinitely many values of , Cayley
graphs and digraphs of diameter and degree whose order is exponentially
larger in than any previously constructed. In the directed case, these are
within a linear factor in of the Moore bound.Comment: 7 page
The (a,b,s,t)-diameter of graphs: a particular case of conditional diameter
The conditional diameter of a connected graph is defined as
follows: given a property of a pair of
subgraphs of , the so-called \emph{conditional diameter} or -{\em diameter} measures the maximum distance among subgraphs satisfying
. That is, In this paper we consider the conditional diameter in
which requires that for all , for all , and for some integers and
, where denotes the degree of
a vertex of , denotes the minimum degree and the
maximum degree of . The conditional diameter obtained is called
-\emph{diameter}. We obtain upper bounds on the -diameter by using the -alternating polynomials on the mesh of
eigenvalues of an associated weighted graph. The method provides also bounds
for other parameters such as vertex separators
