Bounds for regular induced subgraphs of strongly regular graphs

Combinatorics 2022-02-22 v2

Abstract

Given feasible strongly regular graph parameters (v,k,λ,μ)(v,k,\lambda,\mu) and a non-negative integer dd, we determine upper and lower bounds on the order of a dd-regular induced subgraph of any strongly regular graph with parameters (v,k,λ,μ)(v,k,\lambda,\mu). Our new bounds are at least as good as the bounds on the order of a dd-regular induced subgraph of a kk-regular graph determined by Haemers. Further, we prove that for each non-negative integer dd, our new upper bound improves on Haemers' upper bound for infinitely many strongly regular graphs.
