The paper is concerned with the existence of a universal graph at
the successor of a strong limit singular μ of cofinality
\aleph0. Starting from the assumption of the existence of a
supercompact cardinal, a model is built in which for some such
μ there are μ++ graphs on μ+ that taken jointly
are universal for the graphs on μ+, while $2μ+ \gg
μ++$.
The paper also addresses the general problem of obtaining a
framework for consistency results at the successor of a singular
strong limit starting from the assumption that a supercompact
cardinal κ exists. The result on the existence of universal
graphs is obtained as a specific application of a more general
method.
