  • Edge-girth-regular graphs
    Jajcay, Robert ; Kiss, György, matematik ; Miklavič, Štefko
    We consider a new type of regularity we call edge-girth-regularity. An edge-girth-regular ▫$(v, k, g, \lambda)$▫-graph ▫$\varGamma$▫ is a ▫$k$▫-regular graph of order ▫$v$▫ and girth ▫$g$▫ in which ... every edge is contained in ▫$\lambda$▫ distinct ▫$g$▫-cycles. This concept is a generalization of the well-known concept of ▫$(v, k, \lambda)$▫-edge-regular graphs (that count the number of triangles) and appears in several related problems such as Moore graphs and cage and degree/diameter problems. All edge- and arc-transitive graphs are edge-girth-regular as well. We derive a number of basic properties of edge-girth-regular graphs, systematically consider cubic and tetravalent graphs from this class, and introduce several constructions that produce infinite families of edge-girth-regular graphs. We also exhibit several surprising connections to regular embeddings of graphs in orientable surfaces.
