Title
Saturation problems with regularity constraints
Abstract
For a graph F, we say that another graph G is F-saturated, if G is F-free and adding any edge to G would create a copy of F. We study for a given graph F and integer n whether there exists a regular n-vertex F-saturated graph, and if it does, what is the smallest number of edges of such a graph. We mainly focus on the case when F is a complete graph and prove for example that there exists a K-3-saturated regular graph on n vertices for every large enough n. We also study two relaxed versions of the problem: when we only require that no regular F-free supergraph of G should exist or when we drop the F-free condition and only require that any newly added edge should create a new copy of F.
