摘要
A Cayley graph Г=Cay(G,S)is said to be normal if G is normal in Aut Г.In this paper,we investigate the normality problem of the connected 11-valent symmetric Cayley graphs Г of finite nonabelian simple groups G,where the vertex stabilizer A_(u) is soluble for A=Aut Г and v∈∨Г.We prove that either Г is normal or G=A_(5),A_(10),A_(54),A_(274),A_(549) or A_(1099).Further,11-valent symmetric nonnormal Cayley graphs of As,A54 and A274 are constructed.This provides some more examples of nonnormal 11-valent symmetric Cayley graphs of finite nonabelian simple groups after the first graph of this kind(of valency 11)was constructed by Fang,Ma and Wang in 2011.
