Title
A new family of expansive graphs
Abstract
An affine graph is a pair (G,@s) where G is a graph and @s is an automorphism assigning to each vertex of G one of its neighbors. On one hand, we obtain a structural decomposition of any affine graph (G,@s) in terms of the orbits of @s. On the other hand, we establish a relation between certain colorings of a graph G and the intersection graph of its cliques K(G). By using the results we construct new examples of expansive graphs. The expansive graphs were introduced by Neumann-Lara in 1981 as a stronger notion of the K-divergent graphs. A graph G is K-divergent if the sequence |V(K^n(G))| tends to infinity with n, where K^n^+^1(G) is defined by K^n^+^1(G)=K(K^n(G)) for n=1. In particular, our constructions show that for any k=2, the complement of the Cartesian product C^k, where C is the cycle of length 2k+1, is K-divergent.
