On Bipartite Biregular Large Graphs Derived From Difference Sets

Journal of Graph Theory, Volume 110, Issue 2, Page 174-181, October 2025.
ABSTRACT A bipartite graph G = ( V , E ) with V = V 1 ∪ V 2 is biregular if all the vertices of each stable set, V 1 and V 2, have the same degree, r and s, respectively. This paper studies difference sets derived from both Abelian and non‐Abelian groups.
