## Abstract Let ${\cal F}\_{{2}{k},{k}^{2}}$ consist of all simple graphs on 2__k__ vertices and ${k}^{2}$ edges. For a simple graph __G__ and a positive integer $\lambda$, let ${P}\_{G}(\lambda)$ denote the number of proper vertex colorings of __G__ in at most $\lambda$ colors, and let $f(2k, k^{2

✦ Synopsis
A graph is 2K,-free if it does not contain an independent pair of edges as an induced subgraph. We show that if G is 2K,-free and has maximum degree A(G) = D, then G has at most 5D2/4 edges if D is even. If D is odd, this bound can be improved to (5D* -20 + 1)/4. The extremal graphs are unique.

## Abstract A graph __g__ of diameter 2 is minimal if the deletion of any edge increases its diameter. Here the following conjecture of Murty and Simon is proved for __n__ < __n__~o~. If __g__ has __n__ vertices then it has at most __n__^2^/4 edges. The only extremum is the complete bipartite graph
