Abstract:
For undirected circulant networks, the maximization problem for the number of nodes under given degree and diameter of a graph is considered. A new lower estimate is obtained for the attainable number of nodes in the circulant graphs of dimension 4 and any diameter. Some new infinite families of circulants reaching this estimate are constructed. For graphs of these families, some analytical descriptions are given.
Keywords:undirected circulant graphs, diameter, maximum order of a graph.
