Decomposing infinite 2-connected graphs into 3-connected components.
Using a Δ-matroid associated with a map, Anderson et al (J. Combin. Theory (B) 66 (1996) 232-246) showed that one can decide in polynomial time if a medial graph (a 4-regular, 2-face colourable embedded graph) in the sphere, projective plane or torus has two Euler tours that each never cross themselves and never use the same transition at any vertex. With some simple observations, we extend this to the Klein bottle and the sphere with 3 crosscaps and show that the argument does not work in any other...
An additive hereditary graph property is a set of graphs, closed under isomorphism and under taking subgraphs and disjoint unions. Let ₁,...,ₙ be additive hereditary graph properties. A graph G has property (₁∘...∘ₙ) if there is a partition (V₁,...,Vₙ) of V(G) into n sets such that, for all i, the induced subgraph is in . A property is reducible if there are properties , such that = ∘ ; otherwise it is irreducible. Mihók, Semanišin and Vasky [8] gave a factorisation for any additive hereditary...
