Abstract
This paper considers the degree-diameter problem for undirected circulant graphs. For degrees 10 and 11, newly discovered families of circulant graphs of arbitrary diameter are presented which are largest known and are conjectured to be extremal. They are also the largest-known Abelian Cayley graphs of these degrees. For each such family, the order of every graph in the family is defined by a quintic polynomial function of the diameter which is specific to the family. The elements of the generating set for each graph are similarly defined by a set of polynomials in the diameter. The existence of the graphs in the degree 10 families has been proved for all diameters. These graphs are consistent with a conjecture on the order of extremal Abelian Cayley and circulant graphs of any degree and diameter.
