Abstract

A graph is diameter two edge-critical if its diameter is two and the deletion of any edge increases the diameter. Murty and Simon conjectured that the number of edges in a diameter two edge-critical graph on nn vertices is at most n24\lfloor \frac{n^{2}}{4} \rfloor and the extremal graph is the complete bipartite graph Kn2,n2K_{\lfloor \frac{n}{2} \rfloor, \lceil \frac{n}{2} \rceil}. In the series papers [7-9], the Murty-Simon Conjecture stated by Haynes et al. is not the original conjecture, indeed, it is only for the diameter two edge-critical graphs of even order. In this paper, we completely prove the Murty-Simon Conjecture for the graphs whose complements have vertex connectivity \ell, where =1,2,3\ell = 1, 2, 3; and for the graphs whose complements have an independent vertex cut of cardinality at least three.
