Abstract
A graph is said to be detour‐saturated if the addition of any edge results in an increased greatest path length. In this paper, we add to the relatively small amount that is known about detour‐saturated graphs. Our main result is a determination of all connected detour‐saturated graphs with exactly one cycle. (The family of detour‐saturated trees was found by Kászonyi and Tuza 7.) We also show that the smallest detour‐saturated graph of girth 5 is the graph obtainable from the Petersen graph by splitting one of its vertices into three, each of degree 1. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract The conditional diameter __D__~__𝒫__~(__G__) of a connected graph __G__ is a measure of the maximum distance between two subsets of vertices satisfying a given property __𝒫__ of interest. For any given integer __k__ ≥ 1, a connected graph __G__ is said to be conditional diameter __k__‐s
## Abstract A graph is __C__~5~‐saturated if it has no five‐cycle as a subgraph, but does contain a __C__~5~ after the addition of any new edge. We prove that the minimum number of edges in a __C__~5~ ‐saturated graph on __n__≥11 vertices is __sat__(__n, C__~5~)=⌈10(__n__−1)/7⌉−1 if __n__∈__N__~0~=
## Abstract A graph is __Ramsey unsaturated__ if there exists a proper supergraph of the same order with the same Ramsey number, and __Ramsey saturated__ otherwise. We present some conjectures and results concerning both Ramsey saturated and unsaturated graphs. In particular, we show that cycles __
