## Abstract We generalize the concept of the diameter of a graph __G__ = (__N, A__) to allow for location of points not on the nodes. It is shown that there exists a finite set of candidate points which determine this __generalized diameter.__ Given the matrix of shortest paths, an __o__ (|__A__|^2

โฆ Synopsis
We prove the following theorem. If G b a connected finite graph of order p, and S is a k-subset of V(G) (where k 2 2), then there is a pair of vertices in S which are at a dbtance ~2 [(p -1)/k]
if k does not divide p, and ~2 I@ -1)/k j + 1 otherwise.

## Abstract Given a connected graph ฮ of order __n__ and diameter __d__, we establish a tight upper bound for the order of the automorphism group of ฮ as a function of __n__ and __d__, and determine the graphs for which the bound is attained. ยฉ 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory.
For a graph G, let e(G) denote the minimum value of the diameters diamD of D, where D runs through all the orientations of G. In this paper, we obtain some results on e(G) for complete multipartite graphs G, which extend some known results due to Boesch and Tindell [1] and Maurer [4].
A lower bound is given for the harmonic mean of the growth in a finite undirected graph 1 in terms of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian of 1. For a connected graph, this bound is tight if and only if the graph is distance-regular. Bounds on the diameter of a ``sphere-regular'' graph follow. Finally,
## 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 a
