A note on the generalized Petersen graphs that are also Cayley graphs (Q1354730)

The aim of this note is to present a short proof of a result of \textit{R. Nedela} and \textit{M. Škoviera} [J. Graph Theory 19, No. 1, 1-11 (1995; Zbl 0812.05026)] concerning those generalized Petersen graphs that are also Cayley graphs. In that paper the authors chose the heavy weaponry of regular maps on closed connected orientable surfaces. Our proof relies on the general characterization of Cayley graphs [\textit{G. Sabidussi}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 9, 800-804 (1958; Zbl 0091.37701)] and on the complete determination of the automorphism groups of the generalized Petersen graphs; see \textit{R. Frucht}, \textit{J. E. Graver} and \textit{M. E. Watkins} [Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc. 70, 211-218 (1971; Zbl 0221.05069)]. With both of them in hand, it is easy to find the intersection of the two graph families.
