摘要

The class of graphs with diameter 2 and girth 5 is finite (up to isomorphism). What if the girth 5 assumption is relaxed? Apart from stars, are there infinitely many triangle-free graphs with diameter 2 and no K2,3 subgraph? This question is related to the existence of triangle-free strongly regular graphs, but allowing for a range of co-degrees gives the question a more extremal flavour. More generally, for fixed s and t, are there infinitely many twin-free triangle-free Ks,t-free graphs with diameter 2? This paper presents partial results regarding these questions, including computational results, and potential Cayley-graph and probabilistic constructions.
