Abstract:
In this paper, we introduce a method for finding all edge-transitive graphs of small order, using faithful representations of transitive permutation groups of small degree, and we explain how we used this method to find all edge-transitive graphs of order up to 47, and all bipartite edge-transitive graphs of order up to 63. We also give an answer to a 1967 question of Folkman about semi-symmetric graphs of large valency; in fact we show that for semi-symmetric graphs of order 2n and valency d, the ratio d/n can be arbitrarily close to 1.
