1. Nut graphs with a prescribed number of vertex and edge orbitsNino Bašić, Ivan Damnjanović, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A nut graph is a nontrivial graph whose adjacency matrix has a one-dimensional null space spanned by a vector without zero entries. Recently, it was shown that a nut graph has more edge orbits than vertex orbits. It was also shown that for any even $r \geq 2$ and any $k \geq r + 1$, there exist infinitely many nut graphs with r vertex orbits and k edge orbits. Here, we extend this result by finding all the pairs $(r, k)$ for which there exists a nut graph with $r$ vertex orbits and $k$ edge orbits. In particular, we show that for any $k \geq 2$, there are infinitely many Cayley nut graphs with $k$ edge orbits and $k$ arc orbits.

2. On extremal (almost) edge-girth-regular graphsGabriela Araujo-Pardo, György Kiss, István Porupsánszki, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A k-regular graph of girth g is called an edge-girth-regular graph, or an egr-graph for short, if each of its edges is contained in exactly λ distinct g-cycles. An egr-graph is called extremal for the triple (k, g, λ) if has the smallest possible order. We prove that some graphs arising from incidence graphs of finite planes are extremal egr-graphs. We also prove new lower bounds on the order of egr-graphs. Ključne besede: edge-girth-regular graph, cage problem, finite biaffine planes Objavljeno v RUP: 03.11.2025; Ogledov: 314; Prenosov: 2

4. Primitive, edge-short, isometric, and pantochordal cyclesGover E. C. Guzman, Marcos E. González Laffitte, André Fujita, Peter F. Stadler, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A cycle in a graph G is said to be primitive from its vertex x if at least one of its edges does not belong to any shorter cycle that passes through x. This type of cycle and an associated notion of extended neighborhoods play a key role in message-passing algorithms that compute spectral properties of graphs with short loops. Here, we investigate such primitive cycles and graphs without long primitive cycles in a more traditional graph-theoretic framework. We show that a cycle is primitive from all its vertices if and only if it is isometric. We call a cycle fully redundant cycles if it is not primitive from any of its vertices and show that fully redundant cycles, in particular, are not edge short, i.e., they cannot be represented as the edge-disjoint union of a single edge and two shortest paths in G. The families Rk and Lk of graphs with all cycles of length at least k + 1 being fully redundant and not edge-short, respectively, coincide for k = 3 and k = 4. In these graphs, all cycles of length at least k + 1 are pantochordal, i.e., each of their vertices is incident with a chord. None of these results generalizes to k ≥ 5. Moreover, R₃ = L₃ turn out to be the block graphs, and R₄ = L₄ are the graphs with complete multi-partite blocks. The cographs, finally, are shown to form a proper subset of R₅.

5. Generalization of edge general position problemPaul Manuel, R. Prabha, Sandi Klavžar, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The edge geodesic cover problem of a graph G is to find a smallest number of geodesics that cover the edge set of G. The edge k-general position problem is introduced as the problem to find a largest set S of edges of G such that at most k-1 edges of S lie on a common geodesic. We show that these are dual min-max problems and connect them to an edge geodesic partition problem. Using these connections, exact values of the edge k-general position number is determined for different values of k and for various networks including torus networks, hypercubes, and Benes networks.

6. Basic tetravalent oriented graphs of independent-cycle typeNemanja Poznanović, Cheryl E. Praeger, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The family OG(4) consisting of graph-group pairs (Γ, G), where Γ is a finite, connected, 4-valent graph admitting a G-vertex-, and G-edge-transitive, but not G-arc-transitive action, has recently been examined using a normal quotient methodology. A subfamily of OG(4) has been identified as ‘basic’, due to the fact that all members of OG(4) are normal covers of at least one basic pair. We provide an explicit classification of those basic pairs (Γ, G) which have at least two independent cyclic G-normal quotients (these are G-normal quotients which are not extendable to a common cyclic normal quotient).

7. Symmetries of the Woolly Hat graphsLeah Berman, Sergio Hiroki Koike Quintanar, Elías Mochán, Alejandra Ramos Rivera, Primož Šparl, Steve Wilson, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A graph is edge-transitive if the natural action of its automorphism group on its edge set is transitive. An automorphism of a graph is semiregular if all of the orbits of the subgroup generated by this automorphism have the same length. While the tetravalent edge-transitive graphs admitting a semiregular automorphism with only one orbit are easy to determine, those that admit a semiregular automorphism with two orbits took a considerable effort and were finally classified in 2012. Of the several possible different "types" of potential tetravalent edge-transitive graphs admitting a semiregular automorphism with three orbits, only one "type" has thus far received no attention. In this paper we focus on this class of graphs, which we call the Woolly Hat graphs. We prove that there are in fact no edge-transitive Woolly Hat graphs and classify the vertex-transitive ones.

8. Edge-transitive core-free Nest graphsIstván Kovács, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A finite simple graph Γ is called a Nest graph if it is regular of valency 6 and admits an automorphism ρ with two orbits of the same length such that at least one of the subgraphs induced by these orbits is a cycle. We say that Γ is core-free if no non-trivial subgroup of the group generated by ρ is normal in Aut(Γ). In this paper, we show that, if Γ is edge-transitive and core-free, then it is isomorphic to one of the following graphs: the complement of the Petersen graph, the Hamming graph H(2,4), the Shrikhande graph and a certain normal 2-cover of K_{3,3} by ℤ_2^4.

10. Some recent discoveries about half-arc-transitive graphs : dedicated to Dragan Marušič on the occasion of his 60th birthdayMarston D. E. Conder, Primož Potočnik, Primož Šparl, 2015, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: We present some new discoveries about graphs that are half-arc-transitive (that is, vertex- and edge-transitive but not arc-transitive). These include the recent discovery of the smallest half-arc-transitive 4-valent graph with vertex-stabiliser of order 4, and the smallest with vertex-stabiliser of order 8, two new half-arc-transitive 4-valent graphs with dihedral vertex-stabiliser ▫$D_4$▫ (of order 8), and the first known half-arc-transitive 4-valent graph with vertex-stabiliser of order 16 that is neither abelian nor dihedral. We also use half-arc-transitive group actions to provide an answer to a recent question of Delorme about 2-arc-transitive digraphs that are not isomorphic to their reverse.
