2-Geodesic-transitive graphs of order twice a prime power

In this paper, we study 2-geodesic-transitive graphs of order twice an odd prime power. Classifications of corresponding basic graphs and such graphs with almost simple automorphism groups are given, and a reduction theorem for general case is obtained. Certain new 2-geodesic-transitive graphs are found, and a Magma code regarding 2-geodesic-transitive graphs is provided.
