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.

Lovasz's conjecture for dihedral Cayley graphs
Background:
A tantalizing conjecture of Lovasz is the following:
Let $G$ be a (finite) connected vertex-transitive graph. Then $G$ contains a Hamiltonian cycle or is one of $5$ counter-examples.

G graph connections for finite groups G
In my research, I have seen G graph connections usually when G is a Lie group and the graph is the fatgraph of a (punctured) surface. This is usually in a physics context. However, I am curious to ...

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)...

Graph automorphism group
Let $A_w$ denote such set of positive integer $n$ that: for any two permutations $\pi_0,\pi_1\in S_n$, if $\pi_1$ is not a power of $\pi_0$, then there exists a (labeled non oriented) graph $G$ of ...

About the eigenvectors of a matrix related to a Cayley graph
In some papers about the cayley graphs of finite groups the behaviour of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of $\phi$ were discussed when $\phi=\sum_{g\in G} \lambda_G(g)$ and $\lambda_G(g)$ is defined ...

Does every connected vertex transitive graph on $n$ vertices (except for $C_n$) have minimum feedback vertex set of size $\Omega(n)$?
Feedback vertex set is a set of vertices whose removal leaves an acyclic graph.
It is known that every vertex transitive graph on $n$ vertices has minimum vertex cover of size $\Omega(n)$. It is also ...

Max order for which connected Cayley Graphs are known to be Hamiltonian
There is a well-known conjecture that all connected Cayley graphs are Hamiltonian.
For how large a value of n has the conjecture been verified (i.e., for all groups whose order is at most n)?

Automorphism group action leads to a "quotient graph"
Let $G$ be a simple (finite) graph. Consider the next natural equivalence relation $\sim$ on $V(G)$:
$u\sim v$ iff there exists and automorphism $\phi\in Aut(G)$, such that $\phi(u)=v$.
Define a new ...

Are vertex and edge-transitive graphs determined by their spectrum?
A graph is called vertex and edge transitive if the automorphism group is transitive on both vertices and edges.
The spectrum of a graph is the collection (with multiplicities) of eigenvalues of the ...
