Abstract

A class of simple undirected graphs is small if it contains at most n!@a^n labeled graphs with n vertices, for some constant @a. We prove that for any constants c,@e0, the class of graphs with expansion bounded by the function f(r)=c^r^^^1^^^/^^^3^^^-^^^@e is small. Also, we show that the class of graphs with expansion bounded by 6@?3^r^l^o^g^(^r^+^e^) is not small.
