Chepoi UDC 519.176 In this study, we provide criteria of isometric embeddability of graphs in Hamming graphs. We consider ordinary connected graphs with a finite vertex set endowed with the natural metric d(x, y), equal to the number of edges in the shortest chain between the ver- tices x and y. Let al,...,a n be natural numbers. The Hamming graph Hal...a n is the graph with the ver- tex set X = {x = (x l..... xn):l~xi~a~, ~ = l,...n} in which two vertices are joined by an edge if and only if the corresponding vectors differ precisely in one coordinate [i, 2]. In other words, the graph Hal...a n is the Cartesian product of the graphs Hal,...,Han, where Hal is the ai-vertex complete graph. It is easy to show that in the Hamming graph the distance d(x, y) between the vertices x, y is equal to the number of different pairs of coordinates in the tuples corresponding to these vertices, i.e., it is equal to the Hamming distance between these tuples. It is also easy to show that the graph of the n-dimensional cube Qn may be treated as the Hamming graph H2.. -
Towards a Classification of Distance-Transitive Graphs
数理解析研究所講究録 1063 巻 1998 年 72-83 72 Towards a classification of distance-transitive graphs John van Bon Abstract We outline the programme of classifying all finite distance-transitive graphs. We men- tion the most important classification results obtained so far and give special attention to the so called affine graphs. 1. Introduction The graphs in this paper will be always assumed to be finite, connected, undirected and without loops or multiple edges. The edge set of a graph can thus be identified with a subset of the set of unoidered pairs of vertices. Let $\Gamma=(V\Gamma, E\Gamma)$ be a graph and $x,$ $y\in V\Gamma$ . With $d(x, y)$ we will denote the usual distance $\Gamma$ in between the vertices $x$ and $y$ (i.e., the length of the shortest path connecting $x$ and $y$ ) and with $d$ we will denote the diameter of $\Gamma$ , the maximum of all possible values of $d(x, y)$ . Let $\Gamma_{i}(x)=\{y|y\in V\Gamma, d(x, y)=i\}$ be the set of all vertices at distance $i$ of $x$ . An $aut_{omo}rph7,sm$ of a graph is a permutation of the vertex set that maps edges to edges. Let $G$ be a group acting on a graph $\Gamma$ (i.e. we are given a morphism $Garrow Aut(\Gamma)$ ). For a $x\in V\Gamma$ $x^{g}$ vertex and $g\in G$ the image of $x$ under $g$ will be denoted by . The set $\{g\in G|x^{g}=x\}$ is a subgroup of $G$ , called that stabilizer in $G$ of $x$ and will be denoted by $G_{x}$ . -
On the Classification of Locally Hamming Distance-Regular Graphs
数理解析研究所講究録 第 76850巻 1991 年 50-61 On the Classification of Locally Hamming Distance-Regular Graphs BY MAKOTO MATSUMOTO Abstract. A distance-regular graph is locally Hamming if it is locally isomorphic to a Hamming scheme $H(r, 2)$ . This paper rediscovers the connection among locally Ham- ming distance-regular graphs, designs, and multiply transitive permutation groups, through which we classify some of locally Hamming distance-transitive graphs. \S 1. Introduction. By a graph we shall mean a finite undirected graph with no loops and no multiple edges. For a graph $G,$ $V(G)$ denotes the vertex set and $E(G)$ denotes the edge set of $G$ . For a vertex $v$ of a graph $G,$ $N(v)$ denotes the set of adjacent vertices with $v$ . By $\ovalbox{\tt\small REJECT}_{2}$ we denote the two-element field, and by $H(r)$ we denote the r-dimensional Hamming scheme for $r\geq 1$ ; that is, $H(r)$ is such a graph that its vertex set is the $\#_{2}^{=r}$ vector space a,nd $\tau\iota,$ $v\in\#_{2}^{=r}$ are adjacent if and only if the Hamming distance $d(u, v)=1$ ; i.e., $\#\{i u_{i}\neq v_{i}\}=1$ where $u=(u_{1}, \ldots u_{r})$ and $v=(v_{1}, \ldots , v_{r})$ . The graph obtained from $H(r)$ by identifying antipodal points is called a folded Hamming sheme(or a folded Hamming cube in [3, p.140]). The graph $H(3)$ is called a cube, and the induced subgraph obtained by removing one vertex tog$e$ ther with the three incident edges from a cube is called a tulip. -
On the Generalized Θ-Number and Related Problems for Highly Symmetric Graphs
On the generalized #-number and related problems for highly symmetric graphs Lennart Sinjorgo ∗ Renata Sotirov y Abstract This paper is an in-depth analysis of the generalized #-number of a graph. The generalized #-number, #k(G), serves as a bound for both the k-multichromatic number of a graph and the maximum k-colorable subgraph problem. We present various properties of #k(G), such as that the series (#k(G))k is increasing and bounded above by the order of the graph G. We study #k(G) when G is the graph strong, disjunction and Cartesian product of two graphs. We provide closed form expressions for the generalized #-number on several classes of graphs including the Kneser graphs, cycle graphs, strongly regular graphs and orthogonality graphs. Our paper provides bounds on the product and sum of the k-multichromatic number of a graph and its complement graph, as well as lower bounds for the k-multichromatic number on several graph classes including the Hamming and Johnson graphs. Keywords k{multicoloring, k-colorable subgraph problem, generalized #-number, Johnson graphs, Hamming graphs, strongly regular graphs. AMS subject classifications. 90C22, 05C15, 90C35 1 Introduction The k{multicoloring of a graph is to assign k distinct colors to each vertex in the graph such that two adjacent vertices are assigned disjoint sets of colors. The k-multicoloring is also known as k-fold coloring, n-tuple coloring or simply multicoloring. We denote by χk(G) the minimum number of colors needed for a valid k{multicoloring of a graph G, and refer to it as the k-th chromatic number of G or the multichromatic number of G. -
Finite Primitive Distance-Transitive Graphs

Particular attention is given to the structure of the proof of the recently obtained classification of finite primitive affine distance-transitive graphs. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. 1. Introduction Let Γ be a finite connected undirected graph of diameter d, without loops or multiple edges. Let V Γ denote the vertex set of Γ and Aut(Γ ) denote the automorphism group of Γ .LetG be a subgroup of Aut(Γ ). We say that G acts distance-transitively on Γ if G acts transitively on each of the sets Γi ={(x, y) ∈ V Γ × V Γ | d(x, y) = i}, for i = 0, 1,...,d. In this case G will be called a distance-transitive group and a graph Γ admitting such a group will be called a distance-transitive graph. Observe that if Γ is a distance-transitive graph, then Aut(Γ ) is a distance-transitive group, but there might be many subgroups of it still acting distance-transitively on Γ . Distance-transitive graphs are vertex transitive and they are highly symmetric; in a certain sense they have the largest group of automorphisms possible. Some well known examples of distance- transitive graphs are the Hamming graphs, Johnson graphs and Grassmann graphs; see [15] for a detailed description of these graphs and for many others. -
A Note on the Automorphism Group of the Hamming Graph
Transactions on Combinatorics ISSN (print): 2251-8657, ISSN (on-line): 2251-8665 Vol. 10 No. 2 (2021), pp. 129-136. ⃝c 2021 University of Isfahan www.ui.ac.ir www.ui.ac.ir A NOTE ON THE AUTOMORPHISM GROUP OF THE HAMMING GRAPH SEYED MORTEZA MIRAFZAL∗ AND MEYSAM ZIAEE Abstract. Let m > 1 be an integer and Ω be an m-set. The Hamming graph H(n; m) has Ωn as its vertex-set, with two vertices are adjacent if and only if they differ in exactly one coordinate. In this paper, we provide a new proof on the automorphism group of the Hamming graph H(n; m). Although our result is not new (CE Praeger, C Schneider, Permutation groups and Cartesian decompositions, Cambridge University Press, 2018), we believe that our proof is shorter and more elementary than the known proofs for determining the automorphism group of Hamming graph. 1. Introduction Let m > 1 be an integer and Ω be an m-set. The Hamming graph H(n; m) has Ωn as its vertex-set, with two vertices are adjacent if and only if they differ in exactly one coordinate. The latter graph is very famous and much is known about it. For instance this graph is actually the Cartesian product of n complete graphs Km, that is, Km□ ··· □Km. Without lose of generality, we can assume that Ω = f1; 2; : : : ; mg. In general, the connection between Hamming graphs and coding theory is of major importance. If m = 2, then H(n; m) = Qn, where Qn is the hypercube of dimension n. -
Distance-Transitive Graphs
Distance-Transitive Graphs Submitted for the module MATH4081 Robert F. Bailey (4MH) Supervisor: Prof. H.D. Macpherson May 10, 2002 2 Robert Bailey Department of Pure Mathematics University of Leeds Leeds, LS2 9JT May 10, 2002 The cover illustration is a diagram of the Biggs-Smith graph, a distance-transitive graph described in section 11.2. Foreword A graph is distance-transitive if, for any two arbitrarily-chosen pairs of vertices at the same distance, there is some automorphism of the graph taking the first pair onto the second. This project studies some of the properties of these graphs, beginning with some relatively simple combinatorial properties (chapter 2), and moving on to dis- cuss more advanced ones, such as the adjacency algebra (chapter 7), and Smith’s Theorem on primitive and imprimitive graphs (chapter 8). We describe four infinite families of distance-transitive graphs, these being the Johnson graphs, odd graphs (chapter 3), Hamming graphs (chapter 5) and Grass- mann graphs (chapter 6). Some group theory used in describing the last two of these families is developed in chapter 4. There is a chapter (chapter 9) on methods for constructing a new graph from an existing one; this concentrates mainly on line graphs and their properties. Finally (chapter 10), we demonstrate some of the ideas used in proving that for a given integer k > 2, there are only finitely many distance-transitive graphs of valency k, concentrating in particular on the cases k = 3 and k = 4. We also (chapter 11) present complete classifications of all distance-transitive graphs with these specific valencies. -

SOLITAIRE CLOBBER PLAYED on HAMMING GRAPHS Paul Dorbec1
SOLITAIRE CLOBBER PLAYED ON HAMMING GRAPHS Paul Dorbec1 ERTE Maths a Modeler, Institut Fourier, 100 rue des Maths, 38402 GRENOBLE, France [email protected] Eric Duchˆene2 ERTE Maths a Modeler, Institut Fourier [email protected] Sylvain Gravier3 ERTE Maths a Modeler, Institut Fourier [email protected] Received: 3/2/07, Revised: 4/8/08, Accepted: 4/11/08, Published: 4/17/08 Abstract The one-player game Solitaire Clobber was introduced by Demaine et al. Beaudou et al. considered a variation called SC2. Black and white stones are located on the vertices of a given graph. A move consists in picking a stone to replace an adjacent stone of the opposite color. The objective is to minimize the number of remaining stones. The game is interesting if there is at least one stone of each color. In this paper, we investigate the case of Hamming graphs. We prove that game configurations on such graphs can always be reduced to a single stone, except for hypercubes. Nevertheless, hypercubes can be reduced to two stones. 1. Introduction and Definitions We consider the one-player game SC2 that was introduced in [3]. This game is a variation of the game Solitaire Clobber defined by Demaine et al. in [2]. Note that both solitaire games come from the two-player game Clobber, that was created and studied in [1]. One can have a look to [4] for more information about Clobber. The game SC2 is a solitaire game whose rules are described in the following. Initially, black and white stones are placed on the vertices of a given graph G (one per vertex), forming what we call a game configuration. -
