β¦ Synopsis
The analogue of Menger's Theorem on connectivity has been investigated for graphs of low diameter in which the removal of a set of lines increases the diameter. When the diameter is at most three, such a theorem has been proven already. Also, examples have been constructed to show that the result does not always hold for graphs of diameter four or more. The line persistence of a graph is the minimum number of lines which must be removed to increase its diameter. Our present purpose is to characterize graphs of diameter four having two as the line persistence.

Concern over fault tolerance in the design of interconnection networks has stimulated interest in ΓΏnding large graphs with maximum degree and diameter D such that the subgraphs obtained by deleting any set of s vertices have diameter at most D , this value being close to D or even equal to it.

An antipodal distance-regular graph of diameter four or five is a covering graph of a connected strongly regular graph. We give existence conditions for these graphs and show for some types of strongly regular graphs that no nontrivial covers exist.
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
Because of their good properties, iterated line digraphs (specially Kautz and de Bruijn digraphs) have been considered to design interconnection networks. The diameter-vulnerability of a digraph is the maximum diameter of the subdigraphs obtained by deleting a fixed number of vertices or arcs. For a
