Let G be 2-connected graph with girth g and minimum degree d. Then each, pair of verticfs of G is joined by a path of length a t least maxi? (dl)g, ( d -?) (g -4) + 2) if g B 4, and the length of a longest cycle of G is at least max{[(d -1) (g -2) + 21, [(2d -3) (g -4) + 41).

We prove several tight lower bounds in terms of the order and the average degree for the independence number of graphs that are connected and/or satisfy some odd girth condition. Our main result is the extension of a lower bound for the independence number of triangle-free graphs of maximum degree a
We prove that in a graph of order n and minimum degree d, the mean distance Β΅ must satisfy This asymptotically confirms, and improves, a conjecture of the computer program GRAFFITI. The result is close to optimal; examples show that for any d, Β΅ may be larger than n/(d + 1).
95-99 mistakenly attributes the computer program GRAFFITI to Fajtlowitz and Waller, instead of just Fajtlowitz. (Our apologies to Siemion Fajtlowitz.) Note also that one of the ''flaws'' we note for Conjecture 62 (that it was made for graphs regular of degree d, vice graphs of minimum degree d) was
The average distance Β΅(G) of a connected graph G of order n is the average of the distances between all pairs of vertices of G, i.e., Β΅(G) = ( n 2 ) -1 {x,y}βV (G) d G (x, y), where V (G) denotes the vertex set of G and d G (x, y) is the distance between x and y. We prove that every connected graph
