Cubic Vertex-Transitive Graph


CubicVertex-Transitive

A cubic vertex-transitive graph is a cubic graph that is vertex transitive. Read and Wilson (1998, pp. 161-163) enumerate all connected cubic vertex-transitive graphs on 34 and fewer nodes, some of which are illustrated above. The numbers of such graphs on n=2, 4, 6, ... nodes are 0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 3, 4, 5, 7, 3, 11, 5, 6, 10, 10, 5, ... (OEIS A032355).

The cubic symmetric graphs are a special case of the cubic vertex-transitive graphs (i.e., those that are also edge-transitive).

Classes of connected cubic vertex-transitive graphs include the prism graphs, even Möbius ladders, and crossed prism graphs. Specific cases are summarized in the following table.
