Main Article Content

Mohsen Ghasemi

Abstract

A regular cover of a connected graph is called dihedral if its transformation group is dihedral. In this paper the author classifies all dihedral coverings of the complete graph $K_5$ whose fibre-preserving automorphism subgroups act arc-transitively.
