An antipodal distance-regular graph of diameter four or five is a covering graph of a connected strongly regular graph. We give existence conditions for these graphs and show for some types of strongly regular graphs that no nontrivial covers exist.

✦ Synopsis
This paper shows how to construct infinitely many regular graphs of degrees five and six having given genus y > 0, which settles favorably Conjecture 1 stated by T. W. Tucker. Tucker has shown that there are infinitely many regular graphs of degrees four and three of arbitrary given genus (Theorem 1). He also proved that the number of regular graphs of degree greater than six embeddable in a given surface is finite (Corollary to Proposition 1). The case of the regular graphs of degrees six and five was left unanswered (Conjecture 1). This paper also shows a new way of constructing infinitely many regular graphs of degrees three and four of arbitrary genus y > 0.

In this paper, we obtain a relation between the spectral radius and the genus of a graph. In particular, we give upper bounds on the spectral radius of graphs with \(n\) vertices and small genus. " " 1995 Academic Press. Ins
Let G be a 2-connected d-regular graph on n rd (r 3) vertices and c(G) denote the circumference of G. Bondy conjectured that c(G) 2nÂ(r&1) if n is large enough. In this paper, we show that c(G) 2nÂ(r&1)+2(r&3)Â(r&1) for any integer r 3. In particular, G is hamiltonian if r=3. This generalizes a resu
## Abstract Examples are given to show that the nonorientable genus of a graph is not additive over its blocks. A nonorientable analog for the Battle, Harary, Kodama, and Youngs Theorem is proved; this completely determines the nonorientable genus of a graph in terms of its blocks. It is also shown
It can easily be seen that a conjecture of RUNGE does not hold for a class of graphs whose members will be called "almost regular". This conjecture is replaced by a weaker one, and a classification of almost regular graphs is given.
In this article new genus results for the tensor product H @ G are presented. The second factor G in H @ G is a Cayley graph. The imbedding technique used to establish these results combines surgery and voltage graph theory. This technique was first used by A. T. White [171. This imbedding technique
