In the application of graph theory to problems arising in network design, the requirements of the network can be expressed in terms of restrictions on the values of certain graph parameters such as connectivity, edge-connectivity, diameter, and independence number. In this paper, we focus on network

β¦ Synopsis
A graph is said to have property Pi,, if for every sequence of n + 1 points, there is another point adjacent only to the first point. It has previously been shown that almost all graphs have property Pi,,. It is easy to verify that for each n, there is a cube with this property. A more delicate question asks for the construction of the smallest graphs having property Pi,,. We fit+ that this problem is intimately related with the discovery of the highly symmetric graphs known as cages, and are thereby enabled to rpsolve this question for 1% sz ~6.

## Abstract Let __m__ and __n__ be nonnegative integers. Denote by __P__(__m,n__) the set of all triangleβfree graphs __G__ such that for any independent __m__βsubset __M__ and any __n__βsubset __N__ of __V__(__G__) with __M__ β© __N__ = Γ, there exists a unique vertex of __G__ that is adjacent to e
## Abstract Only recently have techniques been introduced that apply design theory to construct graphs with the __n__βe.c. adjacency property. We supply a new random construction for generating infinite families of finite regular __n__βe.c. graphs derived from certain resolvable Steiner 2βdesigns.
