Nov 28, 2012 at 1:58 comment added Gordon Royle @Brendan: easy to go higher, but I should be marking and writing papers and grant applications, not getting sidetracked by appealing MO problems :-(.
Nov 27, 2012 at 22:46 comment added Brendan McKay @gordon-royle: Try larger sizes for almost-regular graphs, you'll be able to go further. For example "geng -d6D7 12" only takes 30 sec.
Nov 27, 2012 at 19:26 comment added Harry Altman For those wondering what this graph looks like: Take 3 copies of the diamond graph and glue them together at the degree-2 vertices so as to form a triangle.
Nov 27, 2012 at 15:22 comment added Felix Goldberg I ran lots of random graphs but found none; probably my parameters were not good...
Nov 27, 2012 at 14:18 comment added Gordon Royle This was a 3-second computer search. Or rather, I already had Brendan's program to generate the graphs and a program implementing Floyd's all-pairs-shortest paths algorithm. So all I had to write was something to check the row sums. Interestingly there are no non-regular examples on 10 vertices. I think Brendan's comment about cartesian product is correct, so there's no limit on diameter or non-regularity. It would still be interesting to see if these are special in any way; the example above has only 4 distinct eigenvalues, which may be relevant.
Nov 27, 2012 at 11:15 comment added Felix Goldberg Gordon, thanks for the nice example. I had a feeling there had to be one! Did you find it in some "smart" way or by search?
