Some exact values for the diameter in Cayley graph Hl,p

Abstract

The family of graphs H,p has been defined in the context of edge partitions. The established properties such as vertex transitivity and low diameter suggest this family as a good topology for the design of interconnection networks. The vertices of the graphH p are the tuples with values between 0 and p1, such that the sum of the values is a multiple of p, and there is an edge between two vertices, if the two corresponding tuples have two pairs of entries whose values differ by one unit. In order to work towards the diameter, the difference between an upper and a lower bounds is established to be at most and we present subfamilies of graphs H p such that, for several values of and p, the bounds are tight.
