Motivated by a result from additive number theory, Hegarty raised the question of how many new edges G has when G is a regular, connected graph with diameter at least r. We address this question for r ≠ 3, 6. We give a lower bound for the number of edges in the rth power of G in terms of the order of G and the minimal degree of G. As a corollary, for r ≠3, 6, we determine how small the ratio e(G )/e(G) can be for regular, connected graphs of diameter at least r. r r r date: 2014-01-14 date_type: published official_url: https://ajc.maths.uq.edu.au/pdf/58/ajc_v58_p347.pdf oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1798239 lyricists_name: Pokrovskiy, Alexey lyricists_id: APOKR39 actors_name: Pokrovskiy, Alexey actors_id: APOKR39 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Australasian Journal of Combinatorics volume: 58 number: 2 pagerange: 347-357 issn: 2202-3518 citation: Pokrovskiy, A; (2014) Edge growth in graph powers.
