Note on Hamilton Circuits and Hamilton Paths.
A graph is called improperly -colorable if the vertex set can be partitioned into subsets such that the graph induced by the vertices of has maximum degree at most for all . In this paper, we mainly study the improper coloring of -planar graphs and show that -planar graphs with girth at least are -colorable.
Let the number of -element sets of independent vertices and edges of a graph be denoted by and , respectively. It is shown that the graphs whose every component is a circuit are the only graphs for which the equality is satisfied for all values of .
In this paper we characterize -chromatic graphs without isolated vertices and connected -chromatic graphs having a minimal number of edges.
Chartrand and Kronk in 1969 showed that there are planar graphs whose vertices cannot be partitioned into two parts inducing acyclic subgraphs. In this note we show that the same is true even in the case when one of the partition classes is required to be triangle-free only.
In this note we show that deciding the existence of a Hamiltonian cycle in a cubic plane graph is equivalent to the problem of the existence of an associated cubic plane multi-3-gonal graph with a Hamiltonian cycle which takes alternately left and right edges at each successive vertex, i.ei̇t is also a Petrie cycle. The Petrie Hamiltonian cycle in an -vertex plane cubic graph can be recognized by an -algorithm.
