Perfect 1-Factorisations of Circulants with Small Degree

چکیده
A 1-factorisation of a graph G is a decomposition of G into edge-disjoint 1-factors (perfect matchings), and a perfect 1-factorisation is a 1-factorisation in which the union of any two of the 1-factors is a Hamilton cycle. We consider the problem of the existence of perfect 1-factorisations of even order circulant graphs with small degree. In particular, we characterise the 3-regular circulant graphs that admit a perfect 1-factorisation and we solve the existence problem for a large family of 4-regular circulants. Results of computer searches for perfect 1-factorisations of 4-regular circulant graphs of orders up to 30 are provided and some problems are

Perfect Factorisations of Bipartite Graphs and Latin Squares Without Proper Subrectangles
A Latin square is pan-Hamiltonian if every pair of rows forms a single cycle. Such squares are related to perfect 1-factorisations of the complete bipartite graph. A square is atomic if every conjugate is pan-Hamiltonian. These squares are indivisible in a strong sense – they have no proper subrectangles. We give some existence results and a catalogue for small orders. In the process we identif...
متن کاملOn the perfect 1-factorisation problem for circulant graphs of degree 4
A 1-factorisation of a graph G is a partition of the edge set of G into 1factors (perfect matchings); a perfect 1-factorisation of G is a 1-factorisation of G in which the union of any two of the 1-factors is a Hamilton cycle in G. It is known that for bipartite 4-regular circulant graphs, having order 2 (mod 4) is a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for the existence of a perfect 1-fact...
متن کاملCirculant Homogeneous Factorisations of Complete Digraphs Kpd with p an Odd Prime
Let F = (Kn,P) be a circulant homogeneous factorisation of index k, that means P is a partition of the arc set of the complete digraph Kn into k circulant factor digraphs such that there exists σ ∈ Sn permuting the factor circulants transitively amongst themselves. Suppose further such an element σ normalises the cyclic regular automorphism group of these circulant factor digraphs, we say F is ...
متن کاملSwitching in One-Factorisations of Complete Graphs
We define two types of switchings between one-factorisations of complete graphs, called factor-switching and vertex-switching. For each switching operation and for each n 6 12, we build a switching graph that records the transformations between isomorphism classes of one-factorisations of Kn. We establish various parameters of our switching graphs, including order, size, degree sequence, clique...
متن کاملNew families of atomic Latin squares and perfect 1-factorisations
A perfect 1-factorisation of a graph G is a decomposition of G into edge disjoint 1-factors such that the union of any two of the factors is a Hamiltonian cycle. Let p 11 be prime. We demonstrate the existence of two non-isomorphic perfect 1-factorisations of Kp+1 (one of which is well known) and five non-isomorphic perfect 1-factorisations of Kp,p . If 2 is a primitive root modulo p, then we s...
