Pairs of edge disjoint Hamiltonian circuits in 5-connected planar graphs.
Several authors have studied the graphs for which every edge is a chord of a cycle; among 2-connected graphs, one characterization is that the deletion of one vertex never creates a cut-edge. Two new results: among 3-connected graphs with minimum degree at least 4, every two adjacent edges are chords of a common cycle if and only if deleting two vertices never creates two adjacent cut-edges; among 4-connected graphs, every two edges are always chords of a common cycle.
Minimum disconnecting cuts of connected graphs provide fundamental information about the connectivity structure of the graph. Spectral methods are well-known as stable and efficient means of finding good solutions to the balanced minimum cut problem. In this paper we generalise the standard balanced bisection problem for static graphs to a new “dynamic balanced bisection problem”, in which the bisecting cut should be minimal when the vertex-labelled graph is subjected to a general sequence of vertex...
