Abstract: A emph{[z,r;g]-mixed cage} is a mixed graph z-regular by arcs, r-regular by edges, with girth g and minimum order. %In this paper we study structural properties of mixed cages: Let n[z,r;g] denote the order of a [z,r;g]-mixed cage. In this paper we prove that n[z,r;g] is a monotonicity function, with respect of g, for zin1,2, and we use it to prove that the underlying graph of a [z,r;g]-mixed cage is 2-connected, for zin1,2. We also prove that [z,r;g]-mixed cages are strong connected. We present bounds of n[z,r;g] and constructions of [z,r;5]-mixed graphs and show a [10,3;5]-mixed cage of order 50.
