Quasi-Quintic Graph


A quasi-quintic graph is a quasi-regular graph, i.e., a graph such that the degree of every vertex is the same delta except for a single vertex whose degree is Delta=delta+1 (Bozóki et al. 2022), where delta=5. By the handshaking lemma, such a graph necessarily has odd order: if it has n vertices, the sum of its vertex degrees is 5n+1 and must be even, so n is odd.

Quasi-QuinticGraphs

For n=7, 9, 11, ..., the numbers of quasi-quintic graphs are 1, 20, 3749, 1877695, ... (OEIS A398640). The corresponding numbers of connected quasi-quintic graphs are 1, 20, 3749, 1877694, ... (OEIS A398641).

The 23 disconnected graphs of order 15 are independently accounted for by the component recurrence C_5(7)R_5(8)+C_5(9)R_5(6)=1·3+20·1=23, where C_5(j) counts connected quasi-quintic graphs on j vertices and R_5(j) counts quintic graphs on j vertices. Examples are summarized in the following table and illustrated above.
