Abstract

In a recent paper, Gerbner, Patk\'{o}s, Tuza and Vizer studied regular FF-saturated graphs. One of the essential questions is given FF, for which nn does a regular nn-vertex FF-saturated graph exist. They proved that for all sufficiently large nn, there is a regular K3K_3-saturated graph with nn vertices. We extend this result to both K4K_4 and K5K_5 and prove some partial results for larger complete graphs. Using a variation of sum-free sets from additive combinatorics, we prove that for all k2k \geq 2, there is a regular C2k+1C_{2k+1}-saturated with nn vertices for infinitely many nn. Studying the sum-free sets that give rise to C2k+1C_{2k+1}-saturated graphs is an interesting problem on its own and we state an open problem in this direction.
