Number Theoretic Designs for Directed Regular Graphs of Small Diameter

چکیده
In 1989, F. R. K. Chung gave a construction for certain directed h-regular graphs of small diameter. Her construction is based on finite fields, and the upper bound on the diameter of these graphs is derived from bounds for certain very short character sums. Here we present two similar constructions that are based on properties of discrete logarithms and exponential functions in residue rings modulo a prime power. Accordingly, we use bounds for certain sums with additive and multiplicative characters to estimate the diameter of our graphs. We also give a third construction that avoids the use of bounds for exponential sums.

THE ORDER GRAPHS OF GROUPS
Let $G$ be a group. The order graph of $G$ is the (undirected)graph $Gamma(G)$,those whose vertices are non-trivial subgroups of $G$ and two distinctvertices $H$ and $K$ are adjacent if and only if either$o(H)|o(K)$ or $o(K)|o(H)$. In this paper, we investigate theinterplay between the group-theoretic properties of $G$ and thegraph-theoretic properties of $Gamma(G)$. For a finite group$G$, we s...
متن کاملOn independent domination numbers of grid and toroidal grid directed graphs
A subset $S$ of vertex set $V(D)$ is an {em indpendent dominating set} of $D$ if $S$ is both an independent and a dominating set of $D$. The {em indpendent domination number}, $i(D)$ is the cardinality of the smallest independent dominating set of $D$. In this paper we calculate the independent domination number of the { em cartesian product} of two {em directed paths} $P_m$ and $P_n$ for arbi...
متن کاملDeza Graphs: A Generalization of Strongly Regular Graphs
We consider the following generalization of strongly regular graphs. A graph G is a Deza graph if it is regular and the number of common neighbors of two distinct vertices takes on one of two values (not necessarily depending on the adjacency of the two vertices). We introduce several ways to construct Deza graphs, and develop some basic theory. We also list all diameter two Deza graphs which a...
متن کاملIndependent domination in directed graphs
In this paper we initialize the study of independent domination in directed graphs. We show that an independent dominating set of an orientation of a graph is also an independent dominating set of the underlying graph, but that the converse is not true in general. We then prove existence and uniqueness theorems for several classes of digraphs including orientations of complete graphs, paths, tr...
