A new Description of Perfectly One-factorable Cubic Graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
A perfectly one-factorable (P1F) regular graph is a graph admitting a partition of the edge-set into one-factors such that the union of any two of them is a Hamiltonian cycle. The case of cubic graphs is treated. The existence of a P1F cubic graph is guaranteed for each admissible value of the number of vertices. A description of this class was obtained by Kotzig in 1962. It is the purpose of the present paper to produce an alternative proof of Kotzig’s result.

Perfect one-factorizations in generalized Petersen graphs
A perfectly one-factorable (P1F) regular graph G is a graph admitting a partition of the edge-set into one-factors such that the union of any two of them is a Hamiltonian cycle. We consider the case in which G is a cubic graph. The existence of a P1F cubic graph is guaranteed for each admissible value of the number of vertices. We give conditions for determining P1F graphs within a subfamily of...
متن کاملOn determinants and permanents of minimally 1-factorable cubic bipartite graphs
A minimally 1-factorable cubic bigraph is a graph in which every 1-factor lies in precisely one 1-factorization. The author investigates determinants and permanents of such graphs and, in particular, proves that the determinant of any minimally 1-factorable cubic bigraph of girth 4 is 0.
متن کاملOn the distance eigenvalues of Cayley graphs
In this paper, we determine the distance matrix and its characteristic polynomial of a Cayley graph over a group G in terms of irreducible representations of G. We give exact formulas for n-prisms, hexagonal torus network and cubic Cayley graphs over abelian groups. We construct an innite family of distance integral Cayley graphs. Also we prove that a nite abelian group G admits a connected...
متن کاملON THE EDGE COVER POLYNOMIAL OF CERTAIN GRAPHS
Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$ and size $m$.The edge covering of $G$ is a set of edges such that every vertex of $G$ is incident to at least one edge of the set. The edge cover polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial$E(G,x)=sum_{i=rho(G)}^{m} e(G,i) x^{i}$,where $e(G,i)$ is the number of edge coverings of $G$ of size $i$, and$rho(G)$ is the edge covering number of $G$. In this paper we stud...
متن کاملCubic symmetric graphs of orders $36p$ and $36p^{2}$
A graph is textit{symmetric}, if its automorphism group is transitive on the set of its arcs. In this paper, we classifyall the connected cubic symmetric graphs of order $36p$ and $36p^{2}$, for each prime $p$, of which the proof depends on the classification of finite simple groups.
