Quartic Symmetric Graph


QuarticSymmetricGraphs

A quartic symmetric graph is a symmetric graph that is also quartic (i.e., regular of degree 4). The numbers of symmetric quartic graphs on n=1, 2, ... are 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, ... (OEIS A087101). Some quartic symmetric graphs are illustrated above and listed in the following table.

Bouwer (1970) discovered a class of quartic symmetric graphs, the smallest being the B(N,6,9) 54-node Bouwer graph, that are not 1-arc-transitive. An example with 27 nodes (now called the Doyle graph) was subsequently found by Doyle (1976) and Holt (1981).
