Aguiló", "M. Zaragozá" ], "comment": "13 pages and 3 figures", "categories": [ "math.CO" ], "abstract": "Let $\\Gamma=$Cay$(G,T)$ be a Cayley digraph over a finite Abelian group $G$ with respect the generating set $T\\not\\ni0$. $\\Gamma$ has order ord$(\\Gamma)=|G|=n$ and degree deg$(\\Gamma)=|T|=d$. Let $k(\\Gamma)$ be the diameter of $\\Gamma$ and denote $\\kappa(d,n)=\\min\\{k(\\Gamma):~\\textrm{ord}(\\Gamma)=n,\\textrm{deg}(\\Gamma)=d\\}$. We give a closed expression, $\\ell(d,n)$, of a tight lower bound of $\\kappa(d,n)$ by using the so called {\\em solid density} introduced by Fiduccia, Forcade and Zito. A digraph $\\Gamma$ of degree $d$ is called {\\em tight} when $k(\\Gamma)=\\kappa(d,|\\Gamma|)=\\ell(d,|\\Gamma|)$ holds. Recently, the {\\em Dilating Method} has been developed to derive a sequence of digraphs of constant solid density. In this work, we use this method to derive a sequence of tight digraphs $\\{\\Gamma_i\\}_{i=1}^{\\textrm{c}(\\Gamma)}$ from a given tight digraph $\\Gamma$. Moreover, we find a closed expression of the cardinality c$(\\Gamma)$ of this sequence. It is perhaps surprising that c$(\\Gamma)$ depends only on $n$ and $d$ and not on the structure of $\\Gamma$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-06-11T10:51:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C25" ], "keywords": [ "finite abelian group", "cayley digraph", "tight digraph", "tight lower bound", "closed expression" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
