## Abstract We generalize the concept of the diameter of a graph __G__ = (__N, A__) to allow for location of points not on the nodes. It is shown that there exists a finite set of candidate points which determine this __generalized diameter.__ Given the matrix of shortest paths, an __o__ (|__A__|^2

β¦ Synopsis
A lower bound is given for the harmonic mean of the growth in a finite undirected graph 1 in terms of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian of 1. For a connected graph, this bound is tight if and only if the graph is distance-regular. Bounds on the diameter of a ``sphere-regular'' graph follow. Finally, a lower bound is given for the growth in an infinite undirected graph of bounded degree in terms of the spectrum of its Laplacian.

It has been proved that if the diameter D of a digraph G satisfies D Υ 2α Οͺ 2, where α is a parameter which can be thought of as a generalization of the girth of a graph, then G is superconnected. Analogously, if D Υ 2α Οͺ 1, then G is edge-superconnected. In this paper, we studied some similar condi
Recently, it was proved that if the diameter D of a graph G is small enough in comparison with its girth, then G is maximally connected and that a similar result also holds for digraphs. More precisely, if the diameter D of a digraph G satisfies D 5 21 -1, then G has maximum connectivity ( K = 6 ) .
## Abstract Let __u__ and __v__ be any two distinct nodes of an undirected graph __G__, which is __k__βconnected. A container __C__(__u__,__v__) between __u__ and __v__ is a set of internally disjoint paths {__P__~1~,__P__~2~,β¦,__P__~__w__~} between __u__ and __v__ where 1 β€ __w__ β€ __k__. The widt
