A Size Condition for Small Diameter Orientable Graphs

Abstract

In 2002, Koh and Tay conjectured that every bridgeless graph of order n5n\geq 5 and size at least (n2)n+5{n\choose 2}-n+5 has an orientation of diameter two. Later, Cochran, Czabarka, Dankelmann and Sz\'{e}kely proved this conjecture and asked what is the minimum number of edges required in a bridgeless graph of order nn to guarantee the existence of an orientation of diameter at most dd? We conjecture that the answer is (nd2)+n+2{n-d \choose 2}+n+2. We prove this conjecture for the case d=n2d=n-2 and prove the lower bound of this conjecture for the case 5dn25\leq d\leq n-2.
