✦ Synopsis


Suppose G is a graph of n vertices and diameter at most d having the property that, after deleting any vertex, the resulting subgraph has diameter at most 6. Then G contains at least max{n. r(4n -8)/31} edges if 4 s d s 6 .

1. Introduction

We consider finite undirected simple graphs. (Terminologies not defined here can be found in 121.) The set of vertices (resp. the set of edges) of a graph G is denoted by V ( G ) (resp. E ( G ) ) . The edge joining two vertices x and y is denoted by ( x , y ) . and for subsets X ,

denotes the set of edges joining X and Y. For a vertex x in V ( G ) , the set of vertices adjacent to x is denoted by T(x) and N(.x) = T(x) u {x}.

Set deg(x)

N ( X ) = (J N ( x ) .

AEX

A subset X may be identified with the induced subgraph ( X ) , and Gu = (V(G) -u) for u E V ( C ) . For u,u in V(G), d(rr,u) denotes the distance between u and u , and d ( G ) is the diameter of G. For a real number z rzl is the least integer not less than z.
