Abstract
Classifying integral graphs is a hard problem that initiated by Harary and Schwenk in 1974. In this paper, with the help of character table, we treat the corresponding problem for Cayley graphs over the semi-dihedral group SD8n = ?a,b | a4n = b2 = 1; bab = a2n-1?, n ? 2. We present several necessary and sufficient conditions for the integrality of Cayley graphs over SD8n, we also obtain some simple sufficient conditions for the integrality of Cayley graphs over SD8n in terms of the Boolean algebra of hai. In particular, we give the sufficient conditions for the integrality of Cayley graphs over semi-dihedral groups SD2n (n?4) and SD8p for a prime p, from which we determine several infinite classes of integral Cayley graphs over SD2n and SD8p.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
