本文中未经说明的术语和记号采自[2].设 G=(V,E)是一个简单图。G 的顶点数记作 n(G),边数记作 m(G),即 n(G)=|V|,m(G)=|E|.假设 G 是3-边连通图.G 的顶点 v(?)V 称为 G 的临界点,如果 G-v 不是3-边连通的;否则称为 G 的非临界点.如果每个 v(?)V 都是 G 临界点,则称 G 是临界3-边连通图.临界3-边连通图类记作 A,A_n 是 A 中所有 n 阶图的集合.假设 G(?)A,则对每个 v∈A,     

3-边可染的3-正则图（英文）

若一个连通图的每条边都包含在某一完美匹配中,则称之为匹配覆盖图.设G是一个3-连通图,若去掉G的任意两个顶点后得到的子图仍有完美匹配,则称G是一个brick.而brick的重要性在于它是匹配覆盖图的组成结构因子.3-边可染3-正则5的刻画问题是一个NP-完全问题.本文将此问题规约到3-正则匹配覆盖图上,进而规约到其组成结构因子brick上.我们证明了:一个3-正则图是3-边可染的当且仅当它的所有brick是3-边可染的.

5连通图中的可去边

An edge e of a k-connected graph G is said to be a removable edge if G O e is still k-connected, where G e denotes the graph obtained from G by deleting e to get G - e, and for any end vertex of e with degree k - 1 in G- e, say x, delete x, and then add edges between any pair of non-adjacent vertices in NG-e （x）. The existence of removable edges of k-connected graphs and some properties of 3-connected and 4-connected graphs have been investigated [1, 11, 14, 15]. In the present paper, we investigate some properties of 5-connected graphs and study the distribution of removable edges on a cycle and a spanning tree in a 5- connected graph. Based on the properties, we proved that for a 5-connected graph G of order at least 10, if the edge-vertex-atom of G contains at least three vertices, then G has at least （3│G│ ＋ 2）/2 removable edges.     

Removable Edges and Chords of Longest Cycles in 3-Connected Graphs

We verify two special cases of Thomassen’s conjecture of 1976 stating that every longest cycle in a 3-connected graph contains a chord.We prove that Thomassen’s conjecture is true for two classes of 3-connected graphs that have a bounded number of removable edges on or off a longest cycle. Here an edge e of a 3-connected graph G is said to be removable if G – e is still 3-connected or a subdivision of a 3-connected (multi)graph.We give examples to showthat these classes are not covered by previous results.     

Removable edges in 3-connected graphs

An edge e of a 3-connected graph G is said to be removable if G - e is a subdivision of a 3-connected graph. If e is not removable, then e is said to be nonremovable. In this paper, we study the distribution of removable edges in 3-connected graphs and prove that a 3-connected graph of order n ≥ 5 has at most [(4 n — 5)/3] nonremovable edges.     

Removable edges in a 5-connected graph and a construction method of 5-connected graphs

An edge e of a k-connected graph G is said to be a removable edge if G?e is still k-connected. A k-connected graph G is said to be a quasi (k+1)-connected if G has no nontrivial k-separator. The existence of removable edges of 3-connected and 4-connected graphs and some properties of quasi k-connected graphs have been investigated [D.A. Holton, B. Jackson, A. Saito, N.C. Wormale, Removable edges in 3-connected graphs, J. Graph Theory 14(4) (1990) 465-473; H. Jiang, J. Su, Minimum degree of minimally quasi (k+1)-connected graphs, J. Math. Study 35 (2002) 187-193; T. Politof, A. Satyanarayana, Minors of quasi 4-connected graphs, Discrete Math. 126 (1994) 245-256; T. Politof, A. Satyanarayana, The structure of quasi 4-connected graphs, Discrete Math. 161 (1996) 217-228; J. Su, The number of removable edges in 3-connected graphs, J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 75(1) (1999) 74-87; J. Yin, Removable edges and constructions of 4-connected graphs, J. Systems Sci. Math. Sci. 19(4) (1999) 434-438]. In this paper, we first investigate the relation between quasi connectivity and removable edges. Based on the relation, the existence of removable edges in k-connected graphs (k?5) is investigated. It is proved that a 5-connected graph has no removable edge if and only if it is isomorphic to K₆. For a k-connected graph G such that end vertices of any edge of G have at most k-3 common adjacent vertices, it is also proved that G has a removable edge. Consequently, a recursive construction method of 5-connected graphs is established, that is, any 5-connected graph can be obtained from K₆ by a number of θ⁺-operations. We conjecture that, if k is even, a k-connected graph G without removable edge is isomorphic to either K_k+1 or the graph H_k/2+1 obtained from K_k+2 by removing k/2+1 disjoint edges, and, if k is odd, G is isomorphic to K_k+1.
