Classification of Two-regular Digraphs with Maximum Diameter

چکیده
The Klee-Quaife problem is finding the minimum order μ(d, c, v) of the (d, c, v) graph, which is a c-vertex connected v-regular graph with diameter d. Many authors contributed finding μ(d, c, v) and they also enumerated and classified the graphs in several cases. This problem is naturally extended to the case of digraphs. So we are interested in the extended Klee-Quaife problem. In this paper, we deal with an equivalent problem, finding the maximum diameter of digraphs with given order, focused on 2-regular case. We show that the maximum diameter of strongly connected 2-regular digraphs with order n is n − 3, and classify the digraphs which have diameter n− 3. All 15 nonisomorphic extremal digraphs are listed.

On diregularity of digraphs of defect two
Since Moore digraphs do not exist for k 6= 1 and d 6= 1, the problem of finding the existence of digraph of out-degree d ≥ 2 and diameter k ≥ 2 and order close to the Moore bound becomes an interesting problem. To prove the non-existence of such digraphs, we first may wish to establish their diregularity. It is easy to show that any digraph with out-degree at most d ≥ 2, diameter k ≥ 2 and orde...
متن کاملRegular digraphs of diameter 2 and maximum order
It is known that Moore digraphs of degree d > 1 and diameter k > 1 do not exist (see [16] or [4]). For degree 2, it has been shown that for diameter k ~ 3 there are no digraphs of order 'close' to, i.e., one less than, the Moore bound (14). For diameter 2, it is known that digraphs close to Moore bound exist for any degree because the line digraphs of complete digraphs are an example of such di...
متن کاملDesign of a D-connected Digraph with a Minimum Number of Edges and a Quasiminimal Diameter: II
For designing reliable and efficient communications networks, the problem of constructing a maximally connected d-regular digraph (directed graph) with a small diameter is investigated. A maximally connected d-regular digraph with a diameter at most two larger than the lower bound for any number of nodes n > 2d and any d > 3 is constructed. Since the diameter of this digraph is quasiminimal (at...
متن کاملOn the construction of radially Moore digraphs
A digraph with maximum out-degree d and radius k has at most 1+d+ · · ·+d vertices, as the Moore bound states. Regular digraphs attaining such a bound and whose diameter is at most k + 1 are called radially Moore digraphs. Knor [4] proved that these extremal digraphs do exist for any value of d ≥ 1 and k ≥ 1. In this paper, we introduce a digraph operator, based on the line digraph, which allow...
متن کاملMoore graphs and beyond: A survey of the degree/diameter problem
The degree/diameter problem is to determine the largest graphs or digraphs of given maximum degree and given diameter. General upper bounds – called Moore bounds – for the order of such graphs and digraphs are attainable only for certain special graphs and digraphs. Finding better (tighter) upper bounds for the maximum possible number of vertices, given the other two parameters, and thus attack...
