We present a partial classification of those finite linear spaces S on which an almost simple group G with socle PSL(3, q) acts line-transitively. A linear space S is an incidence structure consisting of a set of points Π and a set of lines Λ in the power set of Π such that any two points are incident with exactly one line. The linear space is called non-trivial if every line contains at least ...

The finite flag-transitive linear spaces which have an insoluble automorphism group were given a precise description in [BDD+90], and their classification has recently been completed (see [Lie98] and [Sax02]). However, the remaining case where the automorphism group is a subgroup of one-dimensional affine transformations has not been classified and bears a variety of known examples. Here we giv...

In this paper we complete a classification of finite linear spaces S with line size at most 12 admitting a line-transitive point-imprimitive subgroup of automorphisms. The examples are the Desarguesian projective planes of orders 4, 7, 9 and 11, two designs on 91 points with line size 6, and 467 designs on 729 points with line size 8.

For two normal edge-transitive Cayley graphs on groups H and K which have no common direct factor and $gcd(|H/H^prime|,|Z(K)|)=1=gcd(|K/K^prime|,|Z(H)|)$, we consider four standard products of them and it is proved that only tensor product of factors can be normal edge-transitive.

Average distance is an important parameter for measuring the communication cost of computer networks. A popular approach for its computation is to first partition the edge set of a network into convex components using the transitive closure of the Djoković-Winkler’s relation and then to compute the average distance from the respective invariants of the components. In this paper we refine this i...

We prove the optimality of the move-to-front rule in the class of on-line selforganizing sequential search heuristics for data structures, taking advantage of the fact that the sequence of requested items is a Markov chain F whose symmetry group GF acts transitively on the set S of items (F is then said to be state-transitive ). We state corresponding general results on controlled Markov chains...

Let $1 be a finite affine translation plane. If 21 contains a subplane, collineation group pair (2I0, A) such that: * A leaves each point of 2t0 fixed and acts transitively on the points of / \ { / n 2I0}, for / a line of 21 with / n 2l0 a line of 2l0, then 21 is said to be tangentially transitive with respect to 2l0. Jha in his thesis [3] has proved that if 21 is tangentially transitive with r...
