چکیده

These lecture notes are on automorphism groups of Cayley graphs and their applications to optimal fault-tolerance of some interconnection networks. We first give an introduction to automorphisms of graphs and an introduction to Cayley graphs. We then discuss automorphism groups of Cayley graphs. We prove that the vertex-connectivity of edge-transitive graphs is maximum possible. We investigate the automorphism group and vertex-connectivity of some families of Cayley graphs that have been considered for interconnection networks; we focus on the hypercubes, folded hypercubes, Cayley graphs generated by transpositions, and Cayley graphs from linear codes. New questions and open problems are also discussed. Index terms — Automorphisms of graphs, Cayley graphs, group actions, vertex-connectivity, fault-tolerance, parallel paths, folded hypercube, linear codes, interconnection networks.

Structural properties of Cayley digraphs with applications to mesh and pruned torus interconnection networks

Despite numerous interconnection schemes proposed for distributed multicomputing, systematic studies of classes of interprocessor networks, that offer speed-cost tradeoffs over a wide range, have been few and far in between. A notable exception is the study of Cayley graphs that model a wide array of symmetric networks of theoretical and practical interest. Properties established for all, or fo...

Bipancyclic properties of Cayley graphs generated by transpositions

Cycle is one of the most fundamental graph classes. For a given graph, it is interesting to find cycles of various lengths as subgraphs in the graph. The Cayley graph Cay(Sn, S) on the symmetric group has an important role for the study of Cayley graphs as interconnection networks. In this paper, we show that the Cayley graph generated by a transposition set is vertex-bipancyclic if and only if...

A Class of Arc-Transitive Cayley Graphs as Models for Interconnection Networks

We study a class of Cayley graphs as models for interconnection networks. With focus on efficient communication we prove that for any graph in the class there exists a gossiping protocol which exhibits attractive features, and moreover we give an algorithm for constructing such a protocol. In particular, these hold for two important subclasses of graphs, namely, Cayley graphs admitting a comple...

COMPUTING THE EIGENVALUES OF CAYLEY GRAPHS OF ORDER p2q

A graph is called symmetric if its full automorphism group acts transitively on the set of arcs. The Cayley graph $Gamma=Cay(G,S)$ on group $G$ is said to be normal symmetric if $N_A(R(G))=R(G)rtimes Aut(G,S)$ acts transitively on the set of arcs of $Gamma$. In this paper, we classify all connected tetravalent normal symmetric Cayley graphs of order $p^2q$ where $p>q$ are prime numbers.

Computer Science Technical Report A New Family of Cayley Graph Interconnection Networks of Constant Degree Four

We propose a new family of interconnection networks that are Cayley graphs with constant node degree 4. These graphs are regular, have logarithmic diameter and are maximally fault tolerant. We investigate different algebraic properties of these networks (including fault tolerance) and propose optimal routing algorithms. As far as we know, this is the first family of Cayley graphs of constant de...
