For integers k ≥ 2, g ≥ 3 and d ≥ 1, we define a (k; g, d)-graph to be a k-regular graph with girth g and diameter d. We denote by n₀(k; g, d) the smallest possible order of such a graph, and, if such a graph exists, we call it a (k; g, d)-cage. In particular, we focus on (k; 5, 4)-graphs. We show that n₀(k; 5, 4) ≥ k² + k + 2 for all k, and report on the determination of all (k; 5, 4)-cages for k = 3, 4 and 5 and of examples with k = 6, and describe some examples of (k; 5, 4)-graphs which prove that n₀(k; 5, 4) ≤ 2k² for infinitely many k.</dc:description><dc:date>2025</dc:date><dc:date>2025-06-10 08:50:21</dc:date><dc:type>Članek v reviji</dc:type><dc:identifier>21342</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>UDK: 519.17</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>ISSN pri članku: 2590-9770</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>DOI: 10.26493/2590-9770.1743.19f</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>COBISS.SI-ID: 238839043</dc:identifier><dc:language>sl</dc:language></metadata>
