Classification of the pentavalent symmetric graphs of order \(18p\). (English) Zbl 1429.05086

Summary: A graph is symmetric if its automorphism group is transitive on the arc set of the graph. In this paper, we give a complete classification of connected pentavalent symmetric graphs of order \(18p\), for each prime \(p\). It is shown that, such graphs there exist if and only if \(p = 2, 7\) or 19, and up to isomorphism, there are only four such graphs.
