It is known that many networks modeling real-life complex systems are small-word (large local clustering and small diameter) and scale-free (power law of the degree distribution), and very often they are also hierarchical. Although most of the models are based on stochastic methods, some deterministic constructions have been recently proposed, because this allows a better computation of their properties. Here a new deterministic family of hierarchical networks is presented, which generalizes most of the previous proposals, such as the so-called binomial tree. The obtained graphs can be seen as graphs on alphabets (where vertices are labeled with words of a given alphabet, and the edges are defined by a specific rule relating different words). This allows us the characterization of their main distance-related parameters, such as the radius and diameter. Moreover, as a by-product, an efficient shortest-path local algorithm is proposed.

An improved Moore bound and some new optimal families of mixed Abelian Cayley graphs
Dalfó, Cristina; Fiol, Miguel Angel; López Lorenzo, Ignacio; Ryan, Joe (Elsevier, 2020)We consider the case in which mixed graphs (with both directed and undirected edges) are Cayley graphs of Abelian groups. In this case, some Moore bounds were derived for the maximum number of vertices that such graphs can ... -
An improved upper bound for the order of mixed graphs
Dalfó, Cristina; Fiol, Miguel Angel; López Lorenzo, Ignacio (Elsevier B.V., 2018)A mixed graph G can contain both (undirected) edges and arcs (directed edges). Here we derive an improved Moore-like bound for the maximum number of vertices of a mixed graph with diameter at least three. Moreover, a ... -
Sequence Mixed Graphs
Dalfó, Cristina; Fiol, Miguel Angel; López Lorenzo, Ignacio (Elsevier, 2017)A mixed graph can be seen as a type of digraph containing some edges (or two opposite arcs). Here we introduce the concept of sequence mixed graphs, which is a generalization of both sequence graphs and iterated line ...
