摘要

A nut graph is a nontrivial graph whose adjacency matrix has a one-dimensional null space spanned by a vector without zero entries. Recently, it was shown that a nut graph has more edge orbits than vertex orbits. It was also shown that for any even \(r \ge 2\) r 2 and any \(k \ge r + 1\) k r + 1 , there exist infinitely many nut graphs with r vertex orbits and k edge orbits. Here, we extend this result by finding all the pairs (rk) for which there exists a nut graph with r vertex orbits and k edge orbits. In particular, we show that for any \(k \ge 2\) k 2 , there are infinitely many Cayley nut graphs with k edge orbits and k arc orbits.
