A simple undirected graph is said to be semisymmetric if it is regular and edge-transitive but not vertex-transitive. This paper uses the groups PSL(2, p) and PGL(2, p), where p is a prime, to construct two new infinite families of trivalent semisymmetric graphs.

β¦ Synopsis
A regular and edge-transitive graph that is not vertex-transitive is said to be semisymmetric. Every semisymmetric graph is necessarily bipartite, with the two parts having equal size and the automorphism group acting transitively on each of these two parts. A semisymmetric graph is called biprimitive, if its automorphism group acts primitively on each part. In this article, a clas- sification of biprimitive semisymmetric graphs arising from the action of the group P SL(2, p), p β‘ Β±1(mod 8) a prime, acting on cosets of S 4 is given, resulting in

A graph is 1-regular if its automorphism group acts regularly on the set of its arcs. Miller [J. Comb. Theory, B, 10 (1971), 163-182] constructed an infinite family of cubic 1-regular graphs of order 2 p, where p β₯ 13 is a prime congruent to 1 modulo 3. MaruΕ‘iΔ and Xu [J. Graph Theory, 25 (1997), 13
## Abstract In this paper, it is proven that for each __k__ β₯ 2, __m__ β₯ 2, the graph Ξ~__k__~(__m,β¦,m__), which consists of __k__ disjoint paths of length __m__ with same ends is chromatically unique, and that for each __m, n__, 2 β€ __m__ β€ __n__, the complete bipartite graph __K__~__m,n__~ is chr
for all w in G. G is called reach-preservable if each of its spanning trees contains at least one reachpreserving vertex. We show that K 2,n is reach-preservable. We show that a graph is bipartite if and only if given any pair of vertices, there exists a spanning tree in which both vertices a reach-
## Abstract Let __G__ be a 4βregular planar graph and suppose that __G__ has a cycle decomposition __S__ (i.e., each edge of __G__ is in exactly one cycle of the decomposition) with every pair of adjacent edges on a face always in different cycles of __S__.

A simple 6-(22,8,60) designs is exhibited. It is then shown using Qui-rong Wu's generalization of a result of Luc Teirlinck that this design together with our 6-(14,7,4) design implies the existence of simple 6-(23 + 16m,8,4(m + I) (16m + 17)) designs for all positive integers m. All the above ment
