What are the efficient algorithms to compute Hamiltonian paths on Cayley graphs of finite groups ? Can GAP do it?

The famous Lovasz conjecture predicts existence of the Hamiltonian path on Cayley graphs. In general finding such a path is NP-complete problem, but there are many heuristic algorithms. Question 1: ...

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the Cayley graph to be bipartite

Let $G$ be a finite group with identity $1$. If $S$ be an inverse closed generated subset of $G$, then $S$ is called a Cayley subset of $G$.The Cayley graph $\Gamma=\operatorname{Cay}(G, S)$ is a ...

Perfect Cayley graphs for abelian groups have $\frac{n}{\omega}$ disjoint maximal cliques

Let $G$ be a perfect/ weakly perfect Cayley graph on an abelian group with respect to a symmetric generating set. In addition let the clique number be $\omega$ which divides the order of graph $n$. ...

Transposition Cayley graphs are planar

Consider the Cayley graph $G$ with vertex set the elements of the symmetric group $S_n$ and generating set the set of minimal transposition generators of the group $S_n$, that is the set $S=\{(12),(13)...

$C_4\times C_2 : C_2$: what does this mean?

I am reading this paper where the object $C_4\times C_2 : C_2$ is used as a group structure. I know that $C_n$ is a cyclic group but don't know what kind of operation between groups is identified by ...

Diameter of Cayley graphs of finite simple groups

Babai, Kantor and Lubotzky proved in 1989 the following theorem (Sciencedirect link to article). THEOREM 1.1. There is a constant $C$ such that every nonabelian finite simple group $G$ has a set $S$ ...

Is there a Cayley graph of a non-abelian finite group that is not isomorphic to any Cayley graph of any abelian group?

It's the first question I post here :) I'm sorry if the question is too specific or if it's somehow repeating others. In other words, my question is the following. Consider a Cayley graph $\Gamma$ of ...
