Abstract
We investigate a family of graphs relevant to the problem of finding large regular graphs with specified degree and diameter. Our family contains the largest known graphs for degree/diameter pairs (3, 7), (3, 8), (4, 4), (5, 3), (5, 5), (6, 3), (6, 4), (7, 3), (14, 3), and (16, 2). We also find a new bound for (3, 6) by an unrelated method. Β© 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Graph Theory 37: 118β124, 2001

This paper considers the (A, 0 ) problem: to maximize the order of graphs with given maximum degree A and diameter 0, of importance for its implications in the design of interconnection networks. Two cubic graphs of diameters 5 and 8 and orders 70 and 286, respectively, and a graph of degree 5, diam
Let vt(d, 2) be the largest order of a vertex-transitive graph of degree d and diameter 2. It is known that vt(d, 2)=d 2 +1 for d=1, 2, 3, and 7; for the remaining values of d we have vt(d, 2) d 2 &1. The only known general lower bound on vt(d, 2), valid for all d, seems to be vt(d, 2) w(d+2)Γ2x W(d
