Semi-symmetric graph

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, an semi-symmetric graph is a graph that is edge-transitive and regular, but not vertex-transitive.

In other words, a regular graph is semi-symmetric if its automorphism group acts transitively upon its edges but not upon its vertices.

[edit] Examples and properties

  • Dragan Marušič and Aleksander Malnic have shown that the smallest cubic semi-symmetric graph is the Gray graph on 54 vertices.
  • Any semi-symmetric graph is bipartite.
