Abstract

We call a strongly regular graph with \(v = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} m \\ 2 \\ \end{array} } \right)\) and k = 2(m − 2) a Higman graph. In Higman graphs, the parameter µ takes values 4, 6, 7, and 8. We find possible orders of automorphisms of Higman graphs with µ = 6 and study the structure of fixed-point subgraphs of these automorphisms.
