Special infinite families of regular graphs of unbounded degree and of bounded diameter (small world graphs) are considered. Two families of small world graphs Gi and Hi form a family of non-Sunada twins if Gi and Hi are isospectral of bounded diameter but groups Aut(Gi) and Aut(Hi) are nonisomorphic. We say that a family of non-Sunada twins is unbalanced if each Gi is edge-transitive but each Hi is edge-intransitive. If all Gi and Hi are edge-transitive we have a balanced family of small world

... non-Sunada twins. We say that a family of non-Sunada twins is strongly unbalanced if each Gi is edge-transitive but each Hi is edge-intransitive. We use term edge disbalanced for the family of non-Sunada twins such that all graphs Gi and Hi are edge-intransitive. We present explicit constructions of the above defined families. Two new families of distance-regular—but not distance-transitive—graphs will be introduced.
