Abstract

Let G=(V,E)G = (V, E) be a graph and λ\lambda a non-negative integer. A graph GG is called a (λ,1)(\lambda, 1)-{\em graph} if (c0) (c0) GG is neither a complete graph no an edge-empty graph, (c1) (c1) every edge in GG belongs to exactly λ\lambda triangles, and (c2)(c2) every two non-adjacent vertices in GG are the end-vertices of exactly one two-edge path in GG. It turns out that there are infinitely many feasible 4-tuples (v,d,λ,1)(v, d, \lambda, 1) with λ1\lambda \ge 1. On the other hand (and this is our main result), there is no (v,d,λ,1)(v, d, \lambda, 1)-graphs with λ1\lambda \ge 1. As a byproduct, we obtain a generalization of the classical Friendship Theorem.
