On balanced biregular cages
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a problem closely related to the Cage Problem. We are interested in Balanced Biregular Cages, which are the smallest biregular graphs of fixed girth that have the same number of vertices of one degree as the other. We introduce the graphs and obtain lower and upper bounds for some values of degree and girth. In particular, we construct relatively small balanced biregular graphs from incidence graphs of finite projective, affine, and biaffine planes and we show that some of the obtained graphs are balanced biregular cages.
