New family of small regular graphs of girth 5
A (k, g)-cage is a k-regular graph of girth g of minimum order. In this work, we focus on girth g = 5, where cages are known only for degrees k ≤ 7. When k ≥ 8, except perhaps for k = 57, the order of a (k, 5)-cage is strictly greater than 1 + k2. Considering the relationship between finite geometri...

| Resumo: | A (k, g)-cage is a k-regular graph of girth g of minimum order. In this work, we focus on girth g = 5, where cages are known only for degrees k ≤ 7. When k ≥ 8, except perhaps for k = 57, the order of a (k, 5)-cage is strictly greater than 1 + k2. Considering the relationship between finite geometries and graphs we establish upper constructive bounds that improve the best so far. |
