论两种2-棱-连通图

无自圈的极小2-棱-连通图构造已由[1]及[3]给出,最近朱必文又得到了临界2-棱-连通图的构造本文研究了极小2-棱-连通图与临界2-棱-连通图之间的转化关系,从而得到了由前者过渡到后者的一种方法。本文在极小2-棱-连通图构造的基础上首先研究了临界-极小2-棱-连通图的构造,由此得出临界2-棱-连通图的一种非常简洁的递归结     

最大临界2-边连通图的结构

假若G是一个2-边连通图,但对G中任一点v,G\{v}不是2-边连通图,则称G为一个临界2-边连通图。具有最大边数的临界2-边连通图称为一个最大临界图。文[1]中,作者给出了p阶临界2-边连通图的边数的最大界f(p),列出了最大临界图结构的不同情况。并且他们猜测已经找出所有这类图。本文将证明他们的猜想是正确的。

Lower Bounds for Locally Highly Connected Graphs

We propose a conjecture regarding the lower bound for the number of edges in locally k-connected graphs and we prove it for \(k=2\). In particular, we show that every connected locally 2-connected graph is \(M_3\)-rigid. For the special case of surface triangulations, this fact was known before using topological methods. We generalize this result to all locally 2-connected graphs and give a purely combinatorial proof. Our motivation to study locally k-connected graphs comes from lower bound conjectures for flag triangulations of manifolds, and we discuss some more specific problems in this direction.     

Degree conditions restricted to induced paths for hamiltonicity of claw-heavy graphs

Broersma and Veldman proved that every 2-connected claw-free and P ₆-free graph is hamiltonian. Chen et al. extended this result by proving every 2-connected claw-heavy and P ₆-free graph is hamiltonian. On the other hand, Li et al. constructed a class of 2-connected graphs which are claw-heavy and P ₆-o-heavy but not hamiltonian. In this paper, we further give some Ore-type degree conditions restricting to induced copies of P ₆ of a 2-connected claw-heavy graph that can guarantee the graph to be hamiltonian. This improves some previous related results.     

On b-connectedness and b-disconnectedness and their applications

In this paper, by using b-open (=γ-open) sets we study the concept of b-separated sets. With this concept we study the notion of b-connected sets and strongly b-connected sets. We give some properties of such concepts with some b-separation axioms and compact spaces. Finally, we construct a new topological space on a connected graph.

Matching theory and Barnette's conjecture

Barnette's Conjecture claims that all cubic, 3-connected, planar, bipartite graphs are Hamiltonian. We give a translation of this conjecture into the matching-theoretic setting. This allows us to relax the requirement of planarity to give the equivalent conjecture that all cubic, 3-connected, Pfaffian, bipartite graphs are Hamiltonian.A graph, other than the path of length three, is a brace if it is bipartite and any two disjoint edges are part of a perfect matching. Our perspective allows us to observe that Barnette's Conjecture can be reduced to cubic, planar braces. We show a similar reduction to braces for cubic, 3-connected, bipartite graphs regarding four stronger versions of Hamiltonicity. Note that in these cases we do not need planarity.As a practical application of these results, we provide some supplements to a generation procedure for cubic, 3-connected, planar, bipartite graphs discovered by Holton et al. (1985) [14]. These allow us to check whether a graph we generated is a brace.     

Enumerative Properties of Rooted Circuit Maps

In 1966, Barnette introduced a set of graphs, called circuit graphs, which are obtained from 3-connected planar graphs by deleting a vertex. Circuit graphs and 3-connected planar graphs share many interesting properties which are not satisfied by general 2-connected planar graphs. Circuit graphs have nice closure properties which make them easier to deal with than 3-connected planar graphs for studying some graph-theoretic properties. In this paper, we study some enumerative properties of circuit graphs. For enumeration purpose, we define rooted circuit maps and compare the number of rooted circuit maps with those of rooted 2-connected planar maps and rooted 3-connected planar maps.     

Mutation on knots and Whitney’s 2-isomorphism theorem

Whitney’s 2-switching theorem states that any two embeddings of a 2-connected planar graph in S ² can be connected via a sequence of simple operations, named 2-switching. In this paper, we obtain two operations on planar graphs from the view point of knot theory, which we will term “twisting” and “2-switching” respectively. With the twisting operation, we give a pure geometrical proof of Whitney’s 2-switching theorem. As an application, we obtain some relationships between two knots which correspond to the same signed planar graph. Besides, we also give a necessary and sufficient condition to test whether a pair of reduced alternating diagrams are mutants of each other by their signed planar graphs.     

The connectivity of the basis graph of a branching greedoid

A result of Korte and Lovász states that the basis graph of every 2- connected greedoid is connected. We prove that the basis graph of every 3-connected branching greedoid is (δ -- 1)-connected, where δ is the minimum in-degree (disregarding the root) of the underlying rooted directed (multi) graph. We also give examples showing that this results is (in some sense) best possible.     

On even cycle decompositions of line graphs of cubic graphs

An even cycle decomposition of a graph is a partition of its edges into cycles of even length. In 2012, Markström conjectured that the line graph of every 2-connected cubic graph has an even cycle decomposition and proved this conjecture for cubic graphs with oddness at most 2. However, for 2-connected cubic graphs with oddness 2, Markström only considered these graphs with a chordless 2-factor. (A chordless 2-factor of a graph is a 2-factor consisting of only induced cycles.) In this paper, we first construct an infinite family of 2-connected cubic graphs with oddness 2 and without chordless 2-factors. We then give a complete proof of Markström’s result and further prove this conjecture for cubic graphs with oddness 4.
