Arc-transitive graph
Appearance
In mathematics, an arc-transitive graph is a graph G such that, given any two edges e1 = u1v1 and e2 = u1v1 of G, there are two automorphisms
- f : G → G, g : G → G
such that
- f ( e1 ) = e2, g ( e1 ) = e2
and
- f ( u1 ) = u2, f ( v1 ) = v2,
- g ( u1 ) = v2, g ( v1 ) = u2.
In other words, a graph is arc-transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively upon its arcs.
