For G a, finite group let α(G) denote the minimum number of vertices of the graphs X the automorphism group A(X) of which is isomorphic to G.

G. Sabidussi proved [1], that α(G)=0(n log d) where n=\G\ and d is the minimum number of generators of G.As 0(log n) is the best possible upper bound for d, the result established in [1] implies that α(G)=0(n log log n).
