Title: Radius, diameter, and minimum degree. (In English)
Source: J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B 47, No.1, 73-79 (1989).
Review: The authors prove that the diameter of a connected graph G with n vertices and minimum degree \delta \geq 2 is bounded from above by [3n/(\delta+1)]-1, and that this bound is asymptotically sharp where \delta is fixed and n tends to infinity. They show an analogous result for the radius of G, and also give upper bounds for triangle-free and C4-free connected graphs.
