✦ Synopsis


We enumerate, up to isomorphism, several classes of labeled vertex-transitive digraphs with a prime number of vertices.

There are many unsolvedi enumeration problems stated in [S]. Recently, Robinson in [8] posed more enumeration problems. Here, we give some partial answer to the problems posed on p. 181 in [S], i.e., bj using some of the results in [3] and [4], we enumerate several classes of labeled vertex-transitive digraphs with a prime number, p, of vertices; specifically, we count those that are symmetric (both vertex-tracsitive and edge-transitive), those with a given group of automorphisms and those that are self-complementary.

Roughly, our method is to use the group of automorphisms, P6lya's and de Bruijn's enumeration theorems and the following lemma.

If a graph G with cycle rank p contains both spanning trees with rn and with n end-vertices, rn < n, then G has at least 2p spanning trees with k end-vertices for each integer k, rn < k < n. Moreover, the lower bound of 2p is best possible. [ l ] and Schuster [4] independently proved that such span
