My god O_O SO you are basically saying I'm not sending enough ? :-D

To be honest I have tried to implement some of them, but felt I should ask for the help of Sage's algebraists... This one, for example : is there any way to build it using Sage's tools ?

Many of these graphs can be trivially generated in GAP using its package Grape (a part of the optional gap_packages spkg) and a library of primitive groups (a part of optional databases_gap spkg). E.g. here is how to get Schlaefli graph:

sage: gap.load_package('grape')
sage: gap.eval('G:=NullGraph(PrimitiveGroup(27,12),27);')
'rec( isGraph := true, order := 27, group := PSp(4, 3), \n  schreierVector := [ -1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 2, 1, \n      2, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2 ], adjacencies := [ [  ] ], \n  representatives := [ 1 ], isSimple := true )'
sage: gap.eval('AddEdgeOrbit(G,[1,2]);')
''
sage: gap.eval('VertexDegrees(G);')
'[ 10 ]'
sage: edges=gap('Orbit(G.group,[1,2],OnSets)')
sage: len(edges)
135
sage: schlaefli=Graph([[int(x[1])-1,int(x[2])-1] for x in edges])
sage: schlaefli.degree()
[10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10]
sage: schlaefli.diameter()
2

IMHO there is a more fundamental issue here: Sage should handle such graphs in an efficient way --- just keeping all the edges is pretty much a waste, in particular for bigger examples with hundreds of vertices...

actually, Grape isn't even needed (I mentioned it for illustrative purposes): to construct the Sage graph, all you need is the following:

sage: edges=gap('Orbit(PrimitiveGroup(27,12),[1,2],OnSets)')
sage: schlaefli=Graph([[int(x[1])-1,int(x[2])-1] for x in edges])

PS. To get e.g. Hall-Janko graph, use PrimitiveGroup(100,1)...

Fullerens are in fact a family, that can be generated. G.Brinkmann wrote a program called fullgen  http://cs.anu.edu.au/~bdm/plantri/ that does just this, generating all non-isomorphic fullerens with given number of hexagonal faces. Unfortunately it has a weird license, so it cannot be just hooked up to Sage, at least not in a standard package.

I have been sighing at plantri for a while.... I *need* to generate random planar graphs :-p

Sage way: throw random points on the sphere, generate the facets of their convex closuse (using e.g. cdd), then take the skeleton of the polytope (again, using cdd). Slow, but trivial to code :-)

The underlying architecture is already in place; one needs only to implement a GraphBackend? which represents the graph in question. Implementing simple methods such as has_edge, has_vertex, etc. one can then get the rest of the methods automatically. Check out the source!

I am not sure I understand how to implement things like add_vertex() and add_edge() - as we would start with a permutation group G, the set of vertices is the domain of the group, and edges cannot be added one by one, but only as whole G-orbits. (Alternatively, not all orbits of G are used as the vertex set, and then adding a vertex would mean adding its G-orbit.)

Well, you can always raise an error in the add_vertex function:

RuntimeError?: You can't add vertices to this kind of graph.

Or something similar. Then whenever you called a function which tried to add a vertex you would get that error, but the rest of the graph library would work just fine.

It's nice to have them explicitly constructed so you get a nice picture in a plot, though. I have a really old patch lying around for the Balaban 11-cage, I'll see if I can rebase it...

[ncohen]

Well David, all of your graphs are now Sage patches or are included already. My only regret is that I found not nice embedding for Tutte's 12 cage :-/

Brinkmann's student J. Goedgebeur implemented a new version using a different algorithm which is faster for the `small' cases:  http://caagt.ugent.be/buckygen/ This program is available under the GPL, so I assume it can be integrated in Sage. I'm willing to work on this. I have some familiarity with the program, since I integrated it into CaGe ( http://caagt.ugent.be/CaGe).
