The core of a vertex-transitive complementary prismOrel, Marko (Avtor) graph homomorphismcomplementary prismself-complementary graphvertex-transitive graphcoreThe complementary prism ▫$\Gamma \overline{\Gamma}$▫ is obtained from the union of a graph ▫$\Gamma$▫ and its complement ▫$\overline{\Gamma}$▫ where each pair of identical vertices in ▫$\Gamma$▫ and ▫$\overline{\Gamma}$▫ is joined by an edge. It generalizes the Petersen graph, which is the complementary prism of the pentagon. The core of a vertex-transitive complementary prism is studied. In particular, it is shown that a vertex-transitive complementary prism ▫$\Gamma \overline{\Gamma}$▫ is a core, i.e. all its endomorphisms are automorphisms, whenever ▫$\Gamma$▫ is a core or its core is a complete graph.20232023-11-06 09:41:59Neznano19871sl
