Abstract
Let G be a connected k–regular bipartite graph with bipartition V(G) = X ∪ Y and adjacency matrix A. We say G is det‐extremal if per (A) = |det(A)|. Det–extremal k–regular bipartite graphs exist only for k = 2 or 3. McCuaig has characterized the det‐extremal 3‐connected cubic bipartite graphs. We extend McCuaig's result by determining the structure of det‐extremal cubic bipartite graphs of connectivity two. We use our results to determine which numbers can occur as orders of det‐extremal connected cubic bipartite graphs, thus solving a problem due to H. Gropp. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract We show that a set __M__ of __m__ edges in a cyclically (3__m__ − 2)‐edge‐connected cubic bipartite graph is contained in a 1‐factor whenever the edges in __M__ are pairwise distance at least __f__(__m__) apart, where © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 55: 112–120, 2007
## Abstract An interval graph is said to be extremal if it achieves, among all interval graphs having the same number of vertices and the same clique number, the maximum possible number of edges. We give an intrinsic characterization of extremal interval graphs and derive recurrence relations for t
## Abstract A graph is __s‐regular__ if its automorphism group acts freely and transitively on the set of __s__‐arcs. An infinite family of cubic 1‐regular graphs was constructed in [10], as cyclic coverings of the three‐dimensional Hypercube. In this paper, we classify the __s__‐regular cyclic cov
