β¦ Synopsis
A graph is (t; r)-regular i it has at least one independent t-set of vertices and the open neighborhood of any such set contains exactly r vertices. Our goal is to show that when t ΒΏ 3 and the order is su ciently large, then the structure of (t; r)-regular graphs is similar to, but not exactly the same as the structure of (2; r)-regular graphs as derived by Faudree and Knisley. That is, there is an "almost" complete kernel of order at most r surrounded by satellite cliques, all of the same order, which are "mostly" joined to the kernel.

## Abstract Let __B(G)__ be the edge set of a bipartite subgraph of a graph __G__ with the maximum number of edges. Let __b~k~__ = inf{|__B(G)__|/|__E(G)__β__G__ is a cubic graph with girth at least __k__}. We will prove that lim~k β β~ __b~k~__ β₯ 6/7.
## Abstract A graph is walkβregular if the number of closed walks of length β rooted at a given vertex is a constant through all the vertices for all β. For a walkβregular graph __G__ with __d__+1 different eigenvalues and spectrally maximum diameter __D__=__d__, we study the geometry of its __d__β
## Abstract The girth pair of a graph gives the length of a shortest odd and a shortest even cycle. The existence of regular graphs with given degree and girth pair was proved by Harary and KovΓ‘cs [Regular graphs with given girth pair, J Graph Theory 7 (1983), 209β218].

## 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__.
