In this paper we describe orbits of automorphism group on a horospherical variety in terms of degrees of homogeneous with respect to natural grading locally nilpotent derivations. In case of (may be non-normal) toric varieties a description…

We introduce orbital graphs and discuss some of their basic properties. Then we focus on their usefulness for search algorithms for permutation groups, including finding the intersection of groups and the stabilizer of sets in a group.
