An improved Moore bound for mixed graphs

Combinatorics 2018-04-26 v3

Abstract

A mixed graph GG can contain both (undirected) edges and arcs (directed edges). Here we derive an improved Moore-like bound for the maximum number of vertices of a mixed graph with diameter at least three. Moreover, a complete enumeration of all optimal (1,1)(1,1)-regular mixed graphs with diameter three is presented, so proving that, in general, the proposed bound cannot be improved.
