%0 Journal Article %T Edge growth in graph squares %A Michael Goff %J Mathematics %D 2011 %I arXiv %X We resolve a conjecture of Hegarty regarding the number of edges in the square of a regular graph. If $G$ is a connected $d$-regular graph with $n$ vertices, the graph square of $G$ is not complete, and $G$ is not a member of two narrow families of graphs, then the square of $G$ has at least $(2-o_d(1))n$ more edges than $G$. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1112.5157v1
