We consider the maximum number of vertices in a cubic graph with small diameter. We show that a cubic graph of diameter 4 has at most 40 vertices. (The Moore bound is 46 and graphs with 38 vertices are known.) We also consider bipartite cubic graphs of diameter 5, for which the Moore bound is 62. We

β¦ Synopsis
Stahl, S., Region distributions of some small diameter graphs, Discrete Mathematics 89 (1991) 281-299. Let G be a graph with a vertex u such that V(G) -{u} induces either a forest or a cycle. It is shown that the region distribution of G is approximately proportional to the Stirling numbers of the first kind.

We find an inequality involving the eigenvalues of a regular graph; equality holds if and only if the graph is strongly regular. We apply this inequality to the first subconstituents of a distance-regular graph and obtain a simple proof of the fundamental bound for distance-regular graphs, discovere
In this paper it is shown that for every fixed k 1> 3, G(n; d = k) = 2(~) (6.2 -k + o(1))", where G(n; d = k) denotes the number of graphs of order n and diameter equal to k. It is also proved that for every fixed k>~2, lim,~G(n;d=k)/G(n;d=k+ 1)=lim.o~G(n;d=n-k)/ G(n;d=n-k+ 1)= oo hold.
Some previously investigated infinite families of cubic graphs have the property that the average number of regions of a randomly selected orientable embedding is proportional to the number of their vertices. This paper demonstrates that this property is not true of connected graphs in general. That
It is known that the folded Johnson graphs J (2m, m) with m β₯ 16 are uniquely determined as distance regular graphs by their intersection array. We show that the same holds for m β₯ 6.
## Abstract Smallβdiameter myelinated CNS axons are preferentially affected in multiple sclerosis (MS) and in the hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP), in which the distal axon degenerates. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of these and other disorders involving axon
