This paper is to accompany the Census of Edge-Transitive Tetravalent Graphs, available at jan.ucc.nau.edu/~swilson/C4FullSite/index.html, which is a collection of all known edge-transitive graphs of valence 4 up to 512 vertices. The Census…
Transiso graph $\Gamma_d(G)$ is defined in for a finite group $G$ and a divisor $d$ of $|G|$. In the present paper, we have determined some finite groups $G$ for which the graphs $\Gamma_d(G)$ are complete for each divisor $d$ of $|G|$. We…
Let $\Gamma$ denote a $Q$-polynomial distance-regular graph with vertex set $X$ and diameter $D$. Let $A$ denote the adjacency matrix of $\Gamma$. For a vertex $x\in X$ and for $0 \leq i \leq D$, let $E^*_i(x)$ denote the projection matrix…
It is shown that each subgroup of odd index in an alternating group of degree at least 10 has all insoluble composition factors to be alternating. A classification is then given of 2-arc-transitive graphs of odd order admitting an…
This paper is an exploration of the faithful transitive permutation representations of the orientation-preserving automorphisms groups of highly symmetric toroidal maps and hypermaps. The main theorems of this paper give a list of all…
The operation of switching a graph $\Gamma$ with respect to a subset $X$ of the vertex set interchanges edges and non-edges between $X$ and its complement, leaving the rest of the graph unchanged. This is an equivalence relation on the set…
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 code $C$ in the Hamming graph $\varGamma=H(m,q)$ is $2\it{\text{-neighbour-transitive}}$ if ${\rm Aut}(C)$ acts transitively on each of $C=C_0$, $C_1$ and $C_2$, the first three parts of the distance partition of $V\varGamma$ with respect…
A directed acyclic graph G = (V, E) is pseudo-transitive with respect to a given subset of edges E1, if for any edge ab in E1 and any edge bc in E, we have ac in E. We give algorithms for computing longest chains and demonstrate geometric…
A graph H is a vertex-minor of a graph G if it can be reached from G by the successive application of local complementations and vertex deletions. Vertex-minors have been the subject of intense study in graph theory over the last decades…
We develop a new framework for analysing finite connected, oriented graphs of valency 4, which admit a vertex-transitive and edge-transitive group of automorphisms preserving the edge orientation. We identify a sub-family of "basic" graphs…
For an integer $s\geq1$ and a graph $\Gamma$, a path $(u_0, u_1, \ldots, u_{s})$ composed of vertices of $\Gamma$ is called an {\em $s$-geodesic} if it is a shortest path between $u_0$ and $u_s$. We say that $\Gamma$ is {\em $s$-geodesic…
We study transitivity properties of graphs with more than one end. We completely classify the distance-transitive such graphs and, for all $k \geq 3$, the $k$-CS-transitive such graphs.
We consider the classification problem for several classes of countable structures which are "vertex-transitive", meaning that the automorphism group acts transitively on the elements. (This is sometimes called homogeneous.) We show that…
We study vertex-quasiprimitive $2$-arc-transitive digraphs, reducing the problem of vertex-primitive $2$-arc-transitive digraphs to almost simple groups. This includes a complete classification of vertex-quasiprimitive $2$-arc-transitive…
A traversal of a connected graph is a linear ordering of its vertices all of whose initial segments induce connected subgraphs. Traversals, and their refinements such as breadth-first and depth-first traversals, are computed by various…
We consider codes of length $m$ over an alphabet of size $q$ as subsets of the vertex set of the Hamming graph $\Gamma=H(m,q)$. A code for which there exists an automorphism group $X\leq Aut(\Gamma)$ that acts transitively on the code and…
In this note, we study non-transitive graphs and prove a number of results when they satisfy a coarse version of transitivity. Also, for each finitely generated group $G$, we produce continuum many pairwise non-quasi-isometric regular…
A set of vertices of a graph is distinguishing if the only automorphism that preserves it is the identity. The minimal size of such sets, if they exist, is the distinguishing cost. The distinguishing costs of vertex transitive cubic graphs…
The Divisibility Graph of a finite group $G$ has vertex set the set of conjugacy class lengths of non-central elements in $G$ and two vertices are connected by an edge if one divides the other. We determine the connected components of the…
