A quasi-quintic graph is a quasi-regular graph, i.e., a graph such that the degree of every vertex is the same except for a single vertex whose degree is
(Bozóki et al. 2022), where
. By the handshaking
lemma, such a graph necessarily has odd order: if it has
vertices, the sum of its vertex
degrees is
and must be even, so
is odd.
For ,
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 ,
where
counts connected quasi-quintic graphs on
vertices and
counts quintic graphs
on
vertices. Examples are summarized in the following table and illustrated above.
