I am studying Graph Isomorphism and also trying to figure out the complexity of a certain class of graph. The graph I am studying at the moment is described below

Description :

$G$ is a $r$ regular graph, $k$ connected( not a complete , cycle graph). A vertex of $G$ is $x_1$. All vertices which are not adjacent to $x_1$ create a sub-graph $C_1$. All vertices adjacent to $x_1$ create a sub-graph $, D_1 $. A vertex of $D_1$ is $x_2$.

Using same method, based on adjacency of $x_2$ , $D_1$ can be divided.

All vertices which are not adjacent to $x_2$ create a sub-graph $C_2$.

All vertices adjacent to $x_2$ create a sub-graph $, D_2 $. In general , $ D_{y-1} $ is a graph and can be divided/ partitioned in to 2 sub graphs $C_y, D_y $ .

There are 2 restrictions, they are-

  1. $C_y, D_y $ are $s_y , t_y > 0 ; s_y \neq t_y; $ regular graphs respectively for all iteration $y$

  2. $C_y, D_y $ cannot be complete bipartite graph (utility graph), complete graph or disjoint union of complete graphs.

    $G$ can be divided/ partitioned maximum $\log_2(|G|)$ times , using this dividing process recursively if $G$ is a 3 clique free graph , this condition implies $t_y \leq |D_y|/2$.

Questions :

Does there exist such graph in current literature as described above(follows restriction 1 or 2 or both)?

Motivation : An algorithm runs faster than existing results for this kind of graphs.

Related papers:

    Any advice will help.
