β¦ Synopsis
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 proofs in this paper are derived with the aid of a computer.

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
## 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
A graph is called weakly pancyclic if it contains cycles of all lengths between its girth and circumference. In answer to a question of ErdΕs, we show that a Hamiltonian weakly-pancyclic graph of order n can have girth as large as about 2 n/ log n. In contrast to this, we show that the existence of
Let n β₯ 3 be a positive integer, and let G be a simple graph of order v containing no cycles of length smaller than n + 1 and having the greatest possible number of edges (an extremal graph). Does G contain an n + 1-cycle? In this paper we establish some properties of extremal graphs and present sev
It is shown that a 3-connected planar graph with minimum valency 4 is edge-reconstructible if no 4-vertex is adjacent to a 5-vertex. ## 1. Introduction In this paper, all graphs G=(V(G),E(G)) considered will be finite and simple. A connected graph G is said to have connectivity k o = ko(G) if the
