A Note on a Broken-Cycle Theorem for Hypergraphs

Martin Trinks (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Whitney’s Broken-cycle Theorem states the chromatic polynomial of a graph as a sum over special edge subsets. We give a definition of cycles in hypergraphs that preserves the statement of the theorem there

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.

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.
