Automorphisms of pentagonal geometries with block size 3

Grahame Erskine, Terry S. Griggs

A pentagonal geometry PENT(k,r) is a k-uniform, r-regular partial linear space with the property that the set of points not collinear with a given point x is itself a line in the g…

Vertex-transitive closures of graphs

Martin Bachratý, Grahame Erskine, Štefánia Glevitzká +2

A vertex-transitive closure of is a vertex-transitive supergraph of on the same vertex set. The vertex-transitive number of a graph , denoted by , is the smal…

Cycle switching in Steiner triple systems of order 19

Grahame Erskine, Terry S. Griggs

Cycle switching is a particular form of transformation applied to isomorphism classes of a Steiner triple system of a given order (an ), yielding another . This…

Properties of Steiner triple systems of order 21

Grahame Erskine, Terry S. Griggs

Properties of the 62,336,617 Steiner triple systems of order 21 with a non-trivial automorphism group are examined. In particular, there are 28 which have no parallel class, six th…

On large regular (1,1,k)-mixed graphs

C. Dalfó, G. Erskine, G. Exoo +4

An -mixed graph has every vertex with undirected degree , directed in- and out-degree , and diameter . In this paper, we study the case , proposing som…

Mutually avoiding Eulerian circuits

Grahame Erskine, Terry Griggs, Robert Lewis +1

Two Eulerian circuits, both starting and ending at the same vertex, are avoiding if at every other point of the circuits they are at least distance 2 apart. An Eulerian graph which…

On the Vertex Position Number of Graphs

Maya Thankachy, Elias John Thomas, Ullas Chandran +3

In this paper we generalise the notion of visibility from a point in an integer lattice to the setting of graph theory. For a vertex of a connected graph , we say that a set…

Good point sequencings of Steiner triple systems

Grahame Erskine, Terry Griggs

An l-good sequencing of a Steiner triple system of order v, STS(v), is a permutation of the points of the system such that no l consecutive points in the permutation contains a blo…

Small graphs and hypergraphs of given degree and girth

Grahame Erskine, James Tuite

The search for the smallest possible -regular graph of girth has a long history, and is usually known as the cage problem. This problem has a natural extension to hypergraph…

Fragments in symmetric configurations with block size 3

Grahame Erskine, Terry Griggs, Jozef Širáň

We begin the study of collections of three blocks which can occur in a symmetric configuration with block size 3, . Formulae are derived for the number of occurrences of these…

On networks with order close to the Moore bound

James Tuite, Grahame Erskine

The degree/diameter problem for mixed graphs asks for the largest possible order of a mixed graph with given diameter and degree parameters. Similarly the \emph{degree/geodecity} p…

Colouring problems for symmetric configurations with block size 3

Grahame Erskine, Terry Griggs, Jozef Širáň

The study of symmetric configurations with block size 3 has a long and rich history. In this paper we consider two colouring problems which arise naturally in the study of th…

On the upper embedding of symmetric configurations with block size 3

Grahame Erskine, Terry Griggs, Jozef Širáň

We consider the problem of embedding a symmetric configuration with block size 3 in an orientable surface in such a way that the blocks of the configuration form triangular faces a…

Graphs derived from perfect difference sets

Grahame Erskine, Peter Fratrič, Jozef Širáň

We study a family of graphs with diameter two and asymptotically optimal order for their maximum degree, obtained from perfect difference sets. We show that for all known examples…

On total regularity of mixed graphs with order close to the Moore bound

James Tuite, Grahame Erskine

The undirected degree/diameter and degree/girth problems and their directed analogues have been studied for many decades in the search for efficient network topologies. Recently su…

Clique-partitioned graphs

Grahame Erskine, Terry Griggs, Jozef Širáň

A graph of order where and is said to be weakly -clique-partitioned if its vertex set can be decomposed in a unique way into vertex-disjoint…
