Let G be a graph and C be a set of cycles of G. The tree graph of G defined by C, is the graph T(G,C) that has one vertex for each spanning tree of G, in which two trees T and T' are adjacent if their symmetric difference consists of two edges and the unique cycle contained in T ∪ T' is an element of C. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for this graph to be connected for the case where every edge of G belongs to at most two cycles in C.
If G is a minimally 3-connected graph and C is a double cover of the set of edges of G by irreducible walks, then |E(G)| ≥ 2| C| - 2.
A set of vertices D of a graph G is a distance 2-dominating set of G if the distance between each vertex u ∊ (V (G) − D) and D is at most two. Let γ2(G) denote the size of a smallest distance 2-dominating set of G. For any permutation π of the vertex set of G, the prism of G with respect to π is the graph πG obtained from G and a copy G′ of G by joining u ∊ V(G) with v′ ∊ V(G′) if and only if v′ = π(u). If γ2(πG) = γ2(G) for any permutation π of V(G), then G is called a universal γ2-fixer. In this...
