    • Much less known, however, is that there is a description of Aut(G), the automorphism group of G. The first compete characterization that we are aware of is contained in a paper by Ranum [1] near the turn of the last century. Beyond this, however, there are few other expositions [4]. Our goal is to fill this gap, thereby providing a much needed accessible and modern treatment. Our characterization of Aut(G) is accomplished in three main steps. The first observation is that it is enough to work… CONTINUE READING
