Abstract

We consider the problem of constructing a graphG* from a collection of isomorphic copies of a graphG in such a way that for every two copies ofG, either no vertices or a section graph isomorphic to a graphH is identified. It is shown that ifG can be partitioned into vertex-disjoint copies ofH, thenG* can be made to have at most |H| orbits. A condition onG so thatG* can be vertextransitive is also included.
