The primary purpose of this paper is to report on the successful enumeration in Magma of representatives of the $195\,826\,352$ conjugacy classes of transitive subgroups of the symmetric group $S_{48}$ of degree 48. In addition, we have…

A code $C$ in the Hamming metric, that is, is a subset of the vertex set $V\varGamma$ of the Hamming graph $\varGamma=H(m,q)$, gives rise to a natural distance partition $\{C,C_1,\ldots,C_\rho\}$, where $\rho$ is the covering radius of $C$.…

A k-regular graph on v vertices is a divisible design graph with parameters (v, k, lambda_1 ,lambda_2, m, n) if its vertex set can be partitioned into m classes of size n, such that any two different vertices from the same class have…

A directed graph $G=(V,E)$ is {\it strongly pseudo transitive} if there is a partition $\{A,E-A\}$ of $E$ so that graphs $G_1=(V,A)$ and $G_2=(V,E-A)$ are transitive, and additionally, if $ab\in A$ and $bc\in E $ implies that $ac\in E$. A…

We show that every infinite, locally finite, and connected graph admitsa translation-like action by $\mathbb{Z}$, and that this action can be takento be transitive exactly when the graph has either one or two ends.The actions constructed…

We deal with group divisible designs that have block size 4 and group type g^u m^1, where g = 2 or 4 (mod 6). We show that the necessary conditions for the existence of a 4-GDD of type g^u m^1 are sufficient when g = 14, 20, 22, 26, 28, 32,…

The purpose of this paper is to classify all pairs $(\mathcal{D}, G)$, where $\mathcal{D}$ is a non-trivial $2$-$(v, k, 2)$ design, and $G\leq Aut(\mathcal{D})$ acts transitively on the set of blocks of $\mathcal{D}$ and primitively on the…

A result of Erd\"os and R\'enyi shows that for a fixed integer n almost all graphs satisfy the n-e.c. adjacency property. However, there are few explicit constructions of n e.c. graphs for n > 2, and almost all known families of n-e.c.…

We generalise the standard constructions of a Cayley graph in terms of a group presentation by allowing some vertices to obey different relators than others. The resulting notion of presentation allows us to represent every vertex…

We analyse the normal quotient structure of several infinite families of finite connected edge-transitive, four-valent oriented graphs. These families were singled out by Marusic and others to illustrate various different internal…

A connected graph $\Gamma=(V,E)$ of valency at least $3$ is called a basic $2$-arc-transitive graph if its full automorphism group has a subgroup $G$ with the following properties: (i) $G$ acts transitively on the set of $2$-arcs of…

Let X be a non-empty finite set, E be a finite dimensional euclidean vector space and G a finite subgroup of O(E), the orthognal group of E. Suppose GG={U_i | i in X} is a finite set of linear lines in E and an orbit of G on which its…

This paper is devoted to the classification of all flag-transitive point-primitive non-trivial $2$-$(v, k, \lambda)$ designs with the alternating group $A_n$($n \le 10$) as the socle of their automorphism groups, and 87 different designs…

In this paper, we provide a complete classification of $2$-$(v,k,2)$ design admitting a flag-transitive automorphism group of affine type with the only exception of the semilinear $1$-dimensional group. Alongside this analysis we provide a…

Assume that $\nu$ is a positive integer and $\delta=0, 1$ or $2$. In this paper we introduce the orthogonal graph $\Gamma^{2\nu+\delta}$ over a Galois ring of odd characteristic and prove that it is arc transitive. Moreover, we compute its…

The paper is an investigation of the structure of block-transitive automorphism groups of a 3-design with small block size. Let $G$ be a block-transitive automorphism group of a nontrivial $3$-$(v,k,\lambda)$ design $\mathcal{D}$ with $k\le…

The connective constant $\mu(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the exponential growth rate of the number of self-avoiding walks starting at a given vertex. We investigate the validity of the inequality $\mu \ge \phi$ for infinite, transitive, simple,…

We consider orbit partitions of groups of automorphisms for the symplectic graph and apply Godsil-McKay switching. As a result, we find four families of strongly regular graphs with the same parameters as the symplectic graphs, including…

In this article, we investigate symmetric designs admitting a flag-transitive and point-primitive affine automorphism group. We prove that if an automorphism group $G$ of a symmetric $(v,k,\lambda)$ design with $\lambda$ prime is…

A non-complete graph $\Gamma$ is said to be $(G,2)$-distance transitive if $G$ is a subgroup of the automorphism group of $\Gamma$ that is transitive on the vertex set of $\Gamma$, and for any vertex $u$ of $\Gamma$, the stabilizer $G_u$ is…
