Abstract

A graph \(G\) is diameter \(2\)-critical if its diameter is two and the deletion of any edge increases the diameter. Murty and Simon conjectured that the number of edges in a diameter-\(2\)-critical graph \(G\) of order \(n\) is at most \(\lfloor n^2/4 \rfloor \) and that the extremal graphs are the complete bipartite graphs \(K_{{\lfloor n/2 \rfloor },{\lceil n/2 \rceil }}\). We survey the progress made to date on this conjecture, concentrating mainly on recent results developed from associating the conjecture to an equivalent one involving total domination.
