Complete graphs, which are typical symmetric graphs, naturally appear in the study of many symmetric graphs as normal quotient graphs. In this paper, a characterization of edge-transitive cyclic covers of complete graphs with prime power order is given by using the techniques of finite group theory and the related properties of coset graphs. Certain previous results are generalized and some new families of examples are founded.展开更多

Sano pointed out that it would be interesting to compute the competition numbers of some triangulations of a sphere as he got the exact value of the competition numbers of regular polyhedra. In this paper, we study the competition numbers of several kinds of triangulations of a sphere, and get the exact values of the competition numbers of a 24-hedron obtained from a hexahedron by adding a vertex in each face of the hexahedron and joining the vertex added in a face with the four vertices of the face, a class of dodecahedra constructed from a hexahedron by adding a diagonal in each face of the hexahedron, and a triangulation of a sphere with 3n (n≥2) vertices.展开更多

An ODC G of H is cyclic (CODC) if the cyclic group of order is a subgroup of the automorphism group of G. In this paper, we introduce a general orthogonal labelling for CODC of circulant graphs and construct CODC by certain classes of graphs such as complete bipartite graph, the union of the co-cycles graph with a star, the center vertex of which, belongs to the co-cycles graph and graphs that are connected by a one vertex.展开更多
