Comments

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.

Examples

			A generalized Petersen graph P(n,k) has girth 6 if and only if it has girth more than 5 and (n=6k or k=3 or 2k=n-2 or 3k=n+1 or 3k=n-1)
The smallest generalized Petersen graph with girth 6 is P(8,3)
