By an
({r,m};g)-cage we mean a graph on a minimum number of vertices
f({r,m};g) with degree set
{r,m},
2
r<m, and girth
g. In this paper we improve the known lower bound for
f({r,m};g) for even girth
g
8. Moreover, we obtain for any integer
k
2 that
f({r,k(r-1)+1};6)=2k(r-1)2+2r where
r-1 a is prime power. This result supports the con
jecture that
f({r,m};6)=2(rm-m+1) for any
r<m posed by Yuansheng and Liang [The minimum number of vertices with girth 6 and degree set
D={r,m}, Discrete Math. 269 (2003) 249–258].
