Nonexistence of certain edge-girth-regular graphs

Edge-girth-regular graphs (abbreviated as \emph{egr} graphs) are regular graphs in which every edge is contained in the same number of shortest cycles. We prove that there is no $3$-regular \emph{egr} graph with girth $7$ such that every edge is on exactly $6$ shortest cycles, and there is no $3$-regular \emph{egr} graph with girth $8$ such that every edge is on exactly $14$ shortest cycles. This was conjectured by Goedgebeur and Jooken. A few other unresolved cases are settled as well.

An improved bound on the chromatic number of the Pancake graphs

In this paper an improved bound on the chromatic number of the Pancake graph $P_n, n\geqslant 2$, is presented. The bound is obtained using a subadditivity property of the chromatic number of the Pancake graph. We also investigate an equitable coloring of $P_n$. An equitable $(n-1)$-coloring based on efficient dominating sets is given and optimal equitable $4$-colorings are considered for small $n$. It is conjectured that the chromatic number of $P_n$ coincides with its equitable chromatic number for any $n\geqslant 2$.
