Recently, O'Keefe and Wong have shown that a smallest graph of girth 10 and valency 3 (a (3,lO)-cage) must have 70 vertices. There are three non-isomorphic (3,10)-cages which have been known for some while. In this papel, it is shown that these are the only three possible (3,lO)-cages. Some of the p
## Abstract The odd girth of a graph __G__ is the length of a shortest odd cycle in __G__. Let __d__(__n, g__) denote the largest __k__ such that there exists a __k__βregular graph of order __n__ and odd girth __g__. It is shown that __d____n, g__ β₯ 2|__n__/__g__β₯ if __n__ β₯ 2__g__. As a consequenc
Let G be a regular graph of girth n( 2 5 ) and valency k ( r 3 ) , that has the least possible number f(k, n ) of vertices. Although the existence of such a graph was proved by Erdos and Sachs (see Ref. 6, p. 82), only a few cases have been solved (see Refs. 2-7). Recently, O'Keefe and Wong have sho
