For non-empty subsets L, R of a group G, the two-sided Cayley graph 2SC(G;L,R) is the directed graph with vertex set G and an arc from x to y if and only if y=a^{-1}xb for some a in L and b in R. Thus, in common with Cayley graphs, two-sided Cayley graphs may be useful to model networks as the same routing and communication scheme can be implemented at each vertex. We determine when two-sided Cayley graphs are simple undirected graphs, and give sufficient conditions for them to be connected, vertex-transitive, or Cayley graphs. Several open problems are posed. Many examples are given, including one on 12 vertices with connected components of sizes 4 and 8.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-01-13T08:09:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C25" ], "keywords": [ "two-sided cayley graph 2sc", "non-empty subsets", "vertex set", "open problems", "model networks" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1401.2741I" } } }
