A note on a new condition implying pancyclism

Evelyne Flandrin, Hao Li, Antoni Marczyk, Mariusz Woźniak (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

We first show that if a 2-connected graph G of order n is such that for each two vertices u and v such that δ = d(u) and d(v) < n/2 the edge uv belongs to E(G), then G is hamiltonian. Next, by using this result, we prove that a graph G satysfying the above condition is either pancyclic or isomorphic to K n / 2 , n / 2 .

A note on another construction of graphs with 4 n + 6 vertices and cyclic automorphism group of order 4 n

Peteris Daugulis (2017)

Archivum Mathematicum

The problem of finding minimal vertex number of graphs with a given automorphism group is addressed in this article for the case of cyclic groups. This problem was considered earlier by other authors. We give a construction of an undirected graph having 4 n + 6 vertices and automorphism group cyclic of order 4 n , n 1 . As a special case we get graphs with 2 k + 6 vertices and cyclic automorphism groups of order 2 k . It can revive interest in related problems.

A note on arc-disjoint cycles in tournaments

Jan Florek (2014)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We prove that every vertex v of a tournament T belongs to at least m a x m i n δ ( T ) , 2 δ ( T ) - d T ( v ) + 1 , m i n δ ¯ ( T ) , 2 δ ¯ ( T ) - d ¯ T ( v ) + 1 arc-disjoint cycles, where δ⁺(T) (or δ¯(T)) is the minimum out-degree (resp. minimum in-degree) of T, and d T ( v ) (or d ¯ T ( v ) ) is the out-degree (resp. in-degree) of v.

A Note on Barnette’s Conjecture

Jochen Harant (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Barnette conjectured that each planar, bipartite, cubic, and 3-connected graph is hamiltonian. We prove that this conjecture is equivalent to the statement that there is a constant c > 0 such that each graph G of this class contains a path on at least c|V (G)| vertices.

A note on careful packing of a graph

M. Woźniak (1995)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Let G be a simple graph of order n and size e(G). It is well known that if e(G) ≤ n-2, then there is an edge-disjoint placement of two copies of G into Kₙ. We prove that with the same condition on size of G we have actually (with few exceptions) a careful packing of G, that is an edge-disjoint placement of two copies of G into Kₙ∖Cₙ.

A note on cyclic chromatic number

Jana Zlámalová (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A cyclic colouring of a graph G embedded in a surface is a vertex colouring of G in which any two distinct vertices sharing a face receive distinct colours. The cyclic chromatic number χ c ( G ) of G is the smallest number of colours in a cyclic colouring of G. Plummer and Toft in 1987 conjectured that χ c ( G ) Δ * + 2 for any 3-connected plane graph G with maximum face degree Δ*. It is known that the conjecture holds true for Δ* ≤ 4 and Δ* ≥ 18. The validity of the conjecture is proved in the paper for some special classes...

A note on degree-continuous graphs

Chiang Lin, Wei-Bo Ou (2007)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The minimum orders of degree-continuous graphs with prescribed degree sets were investigated by Gimbel and Zhang, Czechoslovak Math. J. 51 (126) (2001), 163–171. The minimum orders were not completely determined in some cases. In this note, the exact values of the minimum orders for these cases are obtained by giving improved upper bounds.
