Abstract

In this paper, we study some problems related to subspace inclusion graph ℐn(𝕍) and subspace sum graph 𝒢(𝕍) of a finite-dimensional vector space 𝕍. Namely, we prove that ℐn(𝕍) is a Cayley graph as well as Hamiltonian when the dimension of 𝕍 is 3. We also find the exact value of independence number of 𝒢(𝕍) when the dimension of 𝕍 is odd. The above two problems were left open in previous works in the literature. Moreover, we prove that the determining numbers of ℐn(𝕍) and 𝒢(𝕍) are bounded above by 6. Finally, we study some forbidden subgraphs of these two graphs.
