It is known that for each d there exists a graph of diameter two and maximum degree d which has at least (d/2) (d + 2)/2 vertices. In contrast with this, we prove that for every surface S there is a constant d S such that each graph of diameter two and maximum degree d β₯ d S , which is embeddable in

Let vt(d, 2) be the largest order of a vertex-transitive graph of degree d and diameter 2. It is known that vt(d, 2)=d 2 +1 for d=1, 2, 3, and 7; for the remaining values of d we have vt(d, 2) d 2 &1. The only known general lower bound on vt(d, 2), valid for all d, seems to be vt(d, 2) w(d+2)Γ2x W(d
A maximal planar graph is a simple planar graph in which every face is a triangle. We show here that such graphs with maximum degree A and diameter two have no more than :A + 1 vertices. We also show that there exist maximal planar graphs with diameter two and exactly LiA + 1 J vertices.
It is proved that a planar graph with maximum degree β β₯ 11 has total (vertex-edge) chromatic number β + 1.
Given a graph G, a total k-coloring of G is a simultaneous coloring of the vertices and edges of G with at most k colors. If β(G) is the maximum degree of G, then no graph has a total β-coloring, but Vizing conjectured that every graph has a total (β + 2)-coloring. This Total Coloring Conjecture rem
