The k-diameter of a graph Gamma is the largest pairwise minimum distance of a set of k vertices in Gamma, i.e., the best possible distance of a code of size k in Gamma. A k-diameter for some k is called a multidiameter of the graph. We study the function N (k, Delta, D), the largest size of a graph of degree at most a and k-diameter D. The graphical analogues of the Gilbert bound and the Hamming bound in coding theory are derived. Constructions of large graphs with given degree and k-diameter are given. Eigenvalue upper bounds are obtained. By combining sphere packing arguments and eigenvalue bounds, new lower bounds on spectral multiplicity are derived. A bound on the error coefficient of a binary code is given. (C) 1999 Academic Press. |
