Popis: A graph whose full automorphism group is isomorphic to a finite group G is called a G-graph, and we let $$\alpha (G)$$ denote the minimal number of vertices among all G-graphs. The value of $$\alpha (G)$$ has been established for numerous infinite families of groups. In this article, we expand upon the subject matter of vertex-minimal G-graphs by computing the value of $$\alpha (G)$$ when G is isomorphic to either a quasi-dihedral group or a quasi-abelian group. These results completely establish the value of $$\alpha (G)$$ when G is a member of one of the six infinite families of 2-groups that contain a cyclic subgroup of index 2.
