Some identities for enumerators of circulant graphs

Abstract

We establish analytically several new identities connecting enumerators of different types of circulant graphs of prime, twice prime and prime-squared orders. In particular, it is shown that the semi-sum of the number of undirected circulants and the number of undirected self-complementary circulants of prime order is equal to the number of directed self-complementary circulants of the same order. Keywords: circulant graph; cycle index; cyclic group; nearly doubled primes; Cunningham chain; self-complementary graph; tournament; mixed graph
