Large Regular Planar Graphs
With Small Diameter
A n-regular graph is a graph in which every vertex has degree n . The diameter of a graph is the length of the longest distance in the graph. What is the largest number of vertices a planar n-regular graph with diameter d can have? Here are the best known bounds for small n and d . Click on the links for pictures.
