چکیده

Regular digraphs of degree d > 1, diameter k > 1 and order N(d, k) = d+· · ·+dk will be called almost Moore (d, k)-digraphs. So far, the problem of their existence has only been solved when d = 2, 3 or k = 2, 3. In this paper we prove that almost Moore digraphs of diameter 4 do not exist for any degree d.

On the nonexistence of almost Moore digraphs of diameter four

Almost Moore digraphs appear in the context of the degree/diameter problem as a class of extremal directed graphs, in the sense that their order is one less than the unattainable Moore bound M(d, k) = 1 + d + · · · + d, where d > 1 and k > 1 denote the maximum out-degree and diameter, respectively. So far, the problem of their existence has only been solved when d = 2, 3 or k = 2, 3. In this pa...

Further results on almost Moore digraphs

The nonexistence of digraphs with order equal to the Moore bound Md;k = 1+d+: : :+d k for d; k > 1 has lead to the study of the problem of the existence ofàlmost' Moore digraphs, namely digraphs with order close to the Moore bound. In 1], it was shown that almost Moore digraphs of order Md;k ? 1, degree d, diameter k (d; k 3) contain either no cycle of length k or exactly one such cycle. In thi...

Subdigraphs of almost Moore digraphs induced by fixpoints of an automorphism

The degree/diameter problem for directed graphs is the problem of determining the largest possible order for a digraph with given maximum outdegree d and diameter k. An upper bound is given by the Moore bound M(d, k) = ∑k i=0 d i and almost Moore digraphs are digraphs with maximum out-degree d, diameter k and order M(d, k)− 1. In this paper we will look at the structure of subdigraphs of almost...

Multipartite Moore Digraphs

We derive some Moore-like bounds for multipartite digraphs, which extend those of bipartite digraphs, assuming that every vertex of a given partite set is adjacent to the same number of vertices (δ) in each of the other independent sets. We determine when a Moore multipartite digraph is weakly distanceregular. Within this framework, some necessary conditions for the existence of a Moore r-parti...
