Miklavič and Šparl [Discrete Appl. Math. 244 (2018), 143--154] conjectured that if $n &gt; n_k$ where where $n_k = 11$ if $k = 2$, $n_k = (k+1)^2$ if $k$ is odd, and $n_k = k(k +2)$ if $k \ge 4$ is even, then the generalized Petersen graph $GP(n,k)$  is not $\ell$-distance-balanced for any $1\le \ell&lt;{\rm diam}(GP(n,k))$. In the seminal paper, the conjecture was verified for $k=2$. In this paper we prove that the conjecture holds for $k=3$ and for $k=4$.</dc:description><dc:date>2025</dc:date><dc:date>2025-11-07 09:01:14</dc:date><dc:type>Članek v reviji</dc:type><dc:identifier>175773</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>UDK: 519.17</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>ISSN pri članku: 1669-9637</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>DOI: 10.33044/revuma.4824</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>COBISS_ID: 256284675</dc:identifier><dc:language>sl</dc:language></metadata>
