Abstract
For a graph , we say that another graph is -saturated, if is -free and adding any edge to would create a copy of . We study for a given graph and integer whether there exists a regular -vertex -saturated graph, and if it does, what is the smallest number of edges of such a graph. We mainly focus on the case when is a complete graph and prove for example that there exists a -saturated regular graph on vertices for every large enough . We also study two relaxed versions of the problem: when we only require that no regular -free supergraph of should exist or when we drop the -free condition and only require that any newly added edge should create a new copy of .
