Since decades transitive graphs are a topic of great interest. The study of s-edge transitive (undirected) graphs goes back to Tutte [13], who showed that finite cubic graphs cannot be s-edge transitive for s> 5. Weiss [14] proved several years later that the only finite connected s-edge transitive graphs with s = 8 are the cycles. Considering directed graphs the situation is much more involved...

The symmetry properties of mathematical structures are often important for understanding these structures. Graphs sometimes have a large group of symmetries, especially when they have an algebraic construction such as the Cayley graphs. These graphs are constructed from abstract groups and are vertex-transitive and this is the reason for their symmetric appearance. Some Cayley graphs have even ...

A characterisation is given of edge-transitive Cayley graphs of valency 4 on odd number of vertices. The characterisation is then applied to solve several problems in the area of edge-transitive graphs: answering a question proposed by Xu (1998) regarding normal Cayley graphs; providing a method for constructing edge-transitive graphs of valency 4 with arbitrarily large vertex-stabiliser; const...

This paper concerns finite, edge-transitive direct and strong products, as well as infinite weak Cartesian products. We prove that the direct product of two connected, non-bipartite graphs is edge-transitive if and only if both factors are edgetransitive and at least one is arc-transitive, or one factor is edge-transitive and the other is a complete graph with loops at each vertex. Also, a stro...

Slovenija Abstract A vertex-transitive graph is said to be 1 2-transitive if its automor-phism group is vertex and edge but not arc-transitive. Some recent results on 1 2-transitive graphs are given, a few open problems proposed , and possible directions in the research of the structure of these graphs discussed. 1 In the beginning Throughout this paper graphs are simple and, unless otherwise s...

In this paper, we prove that every vertex-transitive graph can be expressed as the edge-disjoint union of symmetric graphs. We define a multicycle graph and conjecture that every vertex-transitive graph cam be expressed as the edge-disjoint union of multicycles. We verify this conjecture for several subclasses of vertextransitive graphs, including Cayley graphs, multidimensional circulants, and...
