On finite Moufang polygons
We show that a finite generalized polygon Γ is Moufang with respect to a groupG if and only if for every flag {x, y} of Γ, the subgroupG1(x, y) ofG fixing every element incident with one ofx, y acts transitively on the set of apartments containing the elementsu, x, y, w, whereu≠y (resp.w≠x) is an arbitrary element incident withx (resp.y).

Symmetric graphs with projective subconstituents
Let P be an undirected graph and G a subgroup of aut(r) acting transitively on the vertex set of P. Let x be an arbitrary vertex of P. We denote by P(x) the set of vertices adjacent to x and by G(x)F(x) the permutation group induced by the stabilizer G (x) of x in G on P(x); G (x)r(X) is called the subconstituent of the pair (P, G). For each i E N let Gi(x) = {a E G(x)Ia E G(y) if a (x, y) 1 then s 3. In [8], it was shown that s 3. We prove the following partial result:

Permutation groups with projective unitary subconstituents
AssTRAcT. Let r be a finite directed graph with vertex set V(I) and edge set EQ7) and let G be a subgroup of aut(I) which we assume to act transitively on both V(r) and E(r). Suppose that for some prime power q, the stabilizer G(x) of a vertex x induces on both {yI(x,y) E E(r)) and {wl(w, x) E E)} a group lying between PSU(3, q2) and Pr1U(3, q2). It is shown that if G acts primitively on V(I), then for each edge (x, y), the subgroup of G(x) fixing every vertex in {wI(x, w) or (y, w) E E(r)) is trivial.

Bifurcation in difference approximations to two-point boundary value problems
Numerical methods for bifurcation problems of the form (*) LyAXf(y), By =0, where f(0) = 0 and f'(0) * 0, are considered. Here y is a scalar function, X is a real scalar, L is a linear differential operator and By = 0 represents some linear homogeneous two-point boundary conditions. Under certain assumptions, it is shown that if (*) is replaced by an appropriate difference scheme, then there exists a unique branch of nontrivial solutions of the discrete problem in a neighborhood of a branch of nontrivial solutions of (*) bifurcating from the trivial solution and that the discrete branch converges to the continuous one. Error estimates are derived and an illustrative numerical example is included.

The application of implicit Runge-Kutta and collection methods to boundary-value problems
The solution of a nonlinear system of first order differential equations with nonlinear boundary conditions by implicit Runge-Kutta methods based on interpolatory quadrature formulae is examined. An equivalence between implicit Runge-Kutta and collocation schemes is established. It is shown that the difference equations obtained have a unique solution in a neighbourhood of an isolated solution of the continuous problem, that this solution can be computed by Newton iteration and that it converges to the isolated solution. The order of convergence is equal to the degree of precision of the related quadra- ture formula plus one. The efficient implementation of the methods is discussed and numerical examples are given. 1. Introduction. We investigate the application of certain implicit Runge- Kutta methods (cf. Butcher (2)) to the numerical solution of nonlinear boundary- value problems of the form

A Geometric Characterization of Certain Groups of Lie Type
Let r be an undirected graph with vertex set V(r) and edge set E(r) and let G be a subgroup of Aut (r). For each {x, y} E E(r), we denote by G{x, y} the stabilizer of {x, y} in G (which mayor may not contain elements exchanging the vertices x and y). For each x E V(r) we denote by r(x) the set of vertices adjacent to x, by G(x) the stabilizer of x in G and, for each i E N, by Gi(x) the subgroup {a E Gla E G(u) for all u E V(r) with a(x, u) "'" i} where a(x, u) denotes the distance from x to u. An s-path (for sEN) is an (s + I)-tuple (xo, Xl. .•• , xs ) of vertices such that Xi E r(Xi-l) if 1"", i "'" s and Xi ¥Xi-Z if 2"", i "'" s. Let G(xo, ... , xs ) = G(xo) n··· n G(xs ) and Gi(xo, ... , xs ) = Gi(xo) n· .. n Gi(xs ) for each s-path (xo, ... , xs ) and each i E N. If H is any group acting on a set X, we denote by H X the permutation group on X induced by H. . In [12] we proved the following result.
