EdgeTransitiveGraphQ

EdgeTransitiveGraphQ[g]

yields True if the graph g is a edge-transitive graph and False otherwise.

Details

  • A graph g is edge transitive if for any edges e1 and e2 of g, there is an automorphism of g that maps e1 to e2.
  • EdgeTransitiveGraphQ is typically used to test whether all edges in a graph have identical neighborhoods.

Examples

open all close all

Basic Examples  (2)

Test whether a graph is edge transitive:

A wheel graph is not edge transitive:

EdgeTransitiveGraphQ gives False for anything that is not an edge-transitive graph:

EdgeTransitiveGraphQ works with large graphs:

Applications  (1)

Properties & Relations  (5)

Connected edge-transitive graphs are either vertex transitive or bipartite:

Use VertexTransitiveGraphQ to test whether a connected graph is edge transitive:

THe edge-transitive graphs need not be vertex transitive:

The vertex connectivity of an edge-transitive graph equals its minimum degree:
