231. On bipartite Q-polynominal distance-regular graphsŠtefko Miklavič, 2007, original scientific article Abstract: Let ▫$\Gamma$▫ denote a bipartite ▫$Q$▫-polynomial distance-regular graph with vertex set ▫$X$▫, diameter ▫$d \ge 3$▫ and valency ▫$k \ge 3$▫. Let ▫${\mathbb{R}}^X$▫ denote the vector space over ▫$\mathbb{R}$▫ consisting of column vectors with entries in ▫$\mathbb{r}$▫ and rows indexed by ▫$X$▫. For ▫$z \in X$▫, let ▫$\hat{z}$▫ denote the vector in ▫${\mathbb{R}}^X$▫ with a 1 in the ▫$z$▫-coordinate, and 0 in all other coordinates. Fix ▫$x,y \in X$▫ such that ▫$\partial(x,y)=2▫, where ▫$\partial$▫ denotes the path-length distance. For ▫$0 \le i,j \le d$▫ define ▫$w_{ij} = \sum\hat{z}$▫, where the sum is over all ▫$z \in X$▫ such that ▫$\partial(x,z) = i$▫ and ▫$\partial(y,z) = j▫$. We define ▫$W = \textrm{span} \{w_{ij}|0 \le i,j \le d\}$▫. In this paper we consider the space ▫$MW = \textrm{span} \{mw |m \in M, w \in W \l\}$▫, where ▫$M$▫ is the Bose-Mesner algebra of ▫$\Gamma$▫. We observe that ▫$MW$▫ is the minimal ▫$A$▫-invariant subspace of ▫${\mathbb{R}}^X$▫ which contains ▫$W$▫, where ▫$A$▫ is the adjacency matrix of ▫$\Gamma$▫. We display a basis for ▫$MW$▫ that is orthogonal with respect to the dot product. We give the action of ▫$A$▫ on this basis. We show that the dimension of ▫$MW$▫ is ▫$3d-3$▫ if ▫$\Gamma$▫ is 2-homogeneous, ▫$3d-1$▫ if ▫$\Gamma$▫ is the antipodal quotient of the ▫$2d$▫-cube, and ▫$4d-4$▫ otherwise. We obtain our main result using Terwilliger's "balanced set" characterization of the ▫$Q$▫-polynomial property.

234. Classification of edge-transitive rose window graphsIstván Kovács, Klavdija Kutnar, Dragan Marušič, 2010, original scientific article Abstract: Given natural numbers ▫$n \ge 3$▫ and ▫$1 \le a$▫, ▫$r \le n-1$▫, the rose window graph ▫$R_n(a,r)$▫ is a quartic graph with vertex set ▫$\{x_i \vert i \in {\mathbb Z}_n\} \cup \{y_i \vert i \in {\mathbb Z}_n\}$▫ and edge set ▫$\{\{x_i, x_{i+1}\} \vert i \in {\mathbb Z}_n\} \cup \{\{y_i, y_{i+r}\} \vert i \in {\mathbb Z}_n\} \cup \{\{x_i, y_i\} \vert i \in {\mathbb Z}_n\} \cup \{\{x_{i+a}, y_i\} \vert i \in {\mathbb Z}_n\}$▫. In this article a complete classification of edge-transitive rose window graphs is given, thus solving one of three open problems about these graphs posed by Steve Wilson in 2001.

236. On Hamiltonicity of circulant digraphs of outdegree threeŠtefko Miklavič, Primož Šparl, 2009, original scientific article Abstract: This paper deals with Hamiltonicity of connected loopless circulant digraphs of outdegree three with connection set of the form ▫$\{a,ka,c\}$▫, where ▫$k$▫ is an integer. In particular, we prove that if ▫$k=-1$▫ or ▫$k=2$▫ such a circulant digraph is Hamiltonian if and only if it is not isomorphic to the circulant digraph on 12 vertices with connection set ▫$\{3,6,4\}$▫.

237. Quasi m-Cayley circulantsAdemir Hujdurović, 2013, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: A graph ▫$\Gamma$▫ is called a quasi ▫$m$▫-Cayley graph on a group ▫$G$▫ if there exists a vertex ▫$\infty \in V(\Gamma)$▫ and a subgroup ▫$G$▫ of the vertex stabilizer ▫$\text{Aut}(\Gamma)_\infty$▫ of the vertex ▫$\infty$▫ in the full automorphism group ▫$\text{Aut}(\Gamma)$▫ of ▫$\Gamma$▫, such that ▫$G$▫ acts semiregularly on ▫$V(\Gamma) \setminus \{\infty\}$▫ with ▫$m$▫ orbits. If the vertex ▫$\infty$▫ is adjacent to only one orbit of ▫$G$▫ on ▫$V(\Gamma) \setminus \{\infty\}$▫, then ▫$\Gamma$▫ is called a strongly quasi ▫$m$▫-Cayley graph on ▫$G$▫ .In this paper complete classifications of quasi 2-Cayley, quasi 3-Cayley and strongly quasi 4-Cayley connected circulants are given.

238. Hamilton paths and cycles in vertex-transitive graphs of order 6pKlavdija Kutnar, Primož Šparl, 2009, original scientific article Abstract: It is shown that every connected vertex-transitive graph of order ▫$6p$▫, where ▫$p$▫ is a prime, contains a Hamilton path. Moreover, it is shown that, except for the truncation of the Petersen graph, every connected vertex-transitive graph of order ▫$6p$▫ which is not genuinely imprimitive contains a Hamilton cycle.

240. Recent trends and future directions in vertex-transitive graphsKlavdija Kutnar, Dragan Marušič, 2008, original scientific article Abstract: A graph is said to be vertex-transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively on the vertex set. Some recent developments and possible future directions regarding two famous open problems, asking about existence of Hamilton paths and existence of semiregular automorphisms in vertex-transitive graphs, are discussed, together with some recent results on arc-transitive graphs and half-arc-transitive graphs, two special classes of vertex-transitive graphs that have received particular attention over the last decade.
Keywords: vertex-transitive graph, arc-transitive graph, half-arc-transitive graph, Hamilton cycle, Hamilton path, semiregular group, (im)primitive group
