(a) (b) Fig. 1.13. Construction of the Folkman graph b) The Folkman graph, depicted in Figure 1.13b, is the 4-regular graph obtained from the graph of Figure 1.13a by replacing each vertex v of degree eight by two vertices of degree four, both of which have the same four neighbours as v. Show that the Folkman graph is edge-transitive but not vertex-transitive. (J. Folkman) 1.2.19 Generalized Petersen Graph Let k and n be positive integers, with n > 2k.

Such constructions are often quite straightforward, but in some instances they rely on experience and insight
