Disjoint 5-cycles in a graph

Hong Wang (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We prove that if G is a graph of order 5k and the minimum degree of G is at least 3k then G contains k disjoint cycles of length 5.

Edge cycle extendable graphs

Terry A. McKee (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph is edge cycle extendable if every cycle C that is formed from edges and one chord of a larger cycle C⁺ is also formed from edges and one chord of a cycle C' of length one greater than C with V(C') ⊆ V(C⁺). Edge cycle extendable graphs are characterized by every block being either chordal (every nontriangular cycle has a chord) or chordless (no nontriangular cycle has a chord); equivalently, every chord of a cycle of length five or more has a noncrossing chord.

Symmetric Hamilton Cycle Decompositions of Complete Multigraphs

V. Chitra, A. Muthusamy (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let n ≥ 3 and ⋋ ≥ 1 be integers. Let ⋋Kn denote the complete multigraph with edge-multiplicity ⋋. In this paper, we show that there exists a symmetric Hamilton cycle decomposition of ⋋K2m for all even ⋋ ≥ 2 and m ≥ 2. Also we show that there exists a symmetric Hamilton cycle decomposition of ⋋K2m − F for all odd ⋋ ≥ 3 and m ≥ 2. In fact, our results together with the earlier results (by Walecki and Brualdi and Schroeder) completely settle the existence of symmetric Hamilton cycle decomposition...
