Complete characterization of almost Moore digraphs of degree three

Abstract: It is well known that Moore digraphs do not exist except for trivial cases (degree 1 or diameter 1), but there are digraphs of diameter two and arbitrary degree which miss the Moore bound by one. No 112 examples of such digraphs of diameter at least three are known, although several necessary conditions for their existence have been obtained. In this paper, we prove that digraphs of degree three and diameter k ! 3 which miss the Moore bound by one do not exist. ß

“…Recall that a Moore graph or digraph is a graph or digraph that meets the Moore bound or directed Moore bound, respectively. Let us refer to the survey [30] and articles [8,[10][11][12][13] for more information pertaining to the Moore graphs.…”

“…Let G be a digraph of maximum outdegree d, diameter k and order M (d, k) − δ, then we say G is a (d, k, −δ)-digraph or alternatively a (d, k)-digraph of defect δ. When δ < M (d, k − 1) we have out-regularity, see [5], whereas in general it is not known if we also have in-regularity. Of special interest is the case δ = 1, and a (d, k, −1)-digraph is also denoted as an almost Moore digraph.…”

“…Of special interest is the case δ = 1, and a (d, k, −1)-digraph is also denoted as an almost Moore digraph. Almost Moore digraphs do exist for k = 2 as the line digraphs of K d+1 for any d ≥ 2, see [9], whereas (2, k, [10], [5], [7] and [8]. We do know that almost Moore digraphs are diregular for d > 1 and k > 1, see [11].…”

“…For diameter k 3, it is known that there are no (2, k)-digraphs [13]. Recently, it has been proved that, for d 3, there are no (3, k)-digraphs [4]. Thus, it remains to investigate the existence of (d, k)-digraphs when d 4 and k 3.…”
