%N Number of nonisomorphic bipartite generalized Petersen graphs P(2n,k) with girth 8 on 4n vertices for 1<=k<n.

%C The generalized Petersen graph P(n,k) is a graph with vertex set V(P(n,k)) = {u_0,u_1,...,u_{n-1},v_0,v_1,...,v_{n-1}} and edge set E(P(n,k)) = {u_i u_{i+1}, u_i v_i, v_i v_{i+k} : i=0,...,n-1}, where the subscripts are to be read modulo n.

%e A generalized Petersen graph P(n,k) is bipartite if and only if n is even and k is odd; it has girth 8 if and only if it has girth more than 6

%e The smallest bipartite generalized Petersen graph with girth 8 is P(18,5)
