A graph is vertex-transitive or symmetric if its automorphism group acts transitively on vertices or ordered adjacent pairs of vertices of the graph, respectively. Let G be a finite group and S a subset of G such that 1 / ∈ S and S = {s -1 | s ∈ S}. The Cayley graph Cay(G, S) on G with respect to S

✦ Synopsis
A graph is vertex‐transitive if its automorphism group acts transitively on vertices of the graph. A vertex‐transitive graph is a Cayley graph if its automorphism group contains a subgroup acting regularly on its vertices. In this article, the tetravalent vertex‐transitive non‐Cayley graphs of order 4__p__ are classified for each prime p. As a result, there are one sporadic and five infinite families of such graphs, of which the sporadic one has order 20, and one infinite family exists for every prime p>3, two families exist if and only if p≡1 (mod 8) and the other two families exist if and only if p≡1 (mod 4). For each family there is a unique graph for a given order. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

It is shown that, for a positive integer s, there exists an s-transitive graph of odd order if and only if s 3 and that, for s=2 or 3, an s-transitive graph of odd order is a normal cover of a graph for which there is an automorphism group that is almost simple and s-transitive.
