We define three families @Z and @3 of special tetravalent metacirculant graphs and show that any non-Cayley tetravalent metacirculant graph is isomorphic to a union of disjoint copies of a graph in one of the families a2 or as. Using this result we prove further that every connected non-Cayley tetra

✦ Synopsis
Let X be a vertex-transitive graph, that is, the automorphism group Aut(X ) of X is transitive on the vertex set of X . The graph X is said to be symmetric if Aut(X ) is transitive on the arc set of X . Suppose that Aut(X ) has two orbits of the same length on the arc set of X . Then X is said to be half-arc-transitive or half-edge-transitive if Aut(X ) has one or two orbits on the edge set of X , respectively. Stabilizers of symmetric and half-arc-transitive graphs have been investigated by many authors. For example, see Tutte [Canad J Math 11 (1959), 621-624] and Conder and Marušič [J Combin Theory Ser B 88 (2003), 67-76]. It is trivial to construct connected tetravalent symmetric graphs with arbitrarily large stabilizers, and by Marušič [Discrete Math 299 (2005), 180-193], connected tetravalent half-arc-transitive graphs can have arbitrarily large stabilizers. In this article, we show that connected tetravalent half-edge-transitive graphs can

## Abstract For any __d__⩾5 and __k__⩾3 we construct a family of Cayley graphs of degree __d__, diameter __k__, and order at least __k__((__d__−3)/3)^__k__^. By comparison with other available results in this area we show that our family gives the largest currently known Cayley graphs for a wide ra
## Abstract In 1983, the second author [D. Marušič, Ars Combinatoria 16B (1983), 297–302] asked for which positive integers __n__ there exists a non‐Cayley vertex‐transitive graph on __n__ vertices. (The term __non‐Cayley numbers__ has later been given to such integers.) Motivated by this problem,
