On Nowhere Zero 4-Flows in Regular Matroids

نویسندگان

چکیده

Walton and Welsh proved that if a co-loopless regular matroid M does not have minor in {M(K(3,3)),M∗(K5)}, then admits nowhere zero 4-flow. Lai, Li Poon {M(K5),M∗(K5)}, We prove {M((P10)¯3 ),M∗(K5)}, 4-flow where (P10)¯3 is the graph obtained from Petersen P10by contracting 3 edges of perfect matching. As both M(K3,3) M(K5) are contractions M((P10)¯3), our result extends results Poon.

Nowhere zero 4-flow in regular matroids

Jensen and Toft [10] conjectured that every 2-edge-connected graph without a K5minor has a nowhere zero 4-flow. Walton and Welsh [24] proved that if a coloopless regular matroid M does not have a minor in {M(K3,3),M(K5)}, then M admits a nowhere zero 4-flow. In this note, we prove that if a coloopless regular matroid M does not have a minor in {M(K5),M(K5)}, then M admits a nowhere zero 4-flow....

Nowhere-zero Flows in Regular Matroids and Hadwiger’s Conjecture

We present a tool that shows, that the existence of a k-nowhere-zero-flow is compatible with 1-,2and 3-sums in regular matroids. As application we present a conjecture for regular matroids that is equivalent to Hadwiger’s conjecture for graphs and Tuttes’s 4and 5-flow conjectures.

Nowhere-zero flows on signed regular graphs

We study the flow spectrum S(G) and the integer flow spectrum S(G) of odd regular graphs. We show that there are signed graphs where the difference between the integer flow number and the flow number is greater than or equal to 1, disproving a conjecture of Raspaud and Zhu [7]. Let G be a (2t + 1)-regular graph. We show that if r ∈ S(G), then r = 2 + 1t or r ≥ 2 + 2 2t−1 . This result generaliz...

Nowhere-Zero 5-Flows On Cubic Graphs with Oddness 4

Tutte’s 5-Flow Conjecture from 1954 states that every bridgeless graph has a nowhere-zero 5-flow. In 2004, Kochol proved that the conjecture is equivalent to its restriction on cyclically 6-edge connected cubic graphs. We prove that every cyclically 6-edge-connected cubic graph with oddness at most 4 has a nowhere-zero 5-flow.

Nowhere-zero 5-flows

We prove that every cyclically 6-edge-connected cubic graph with oddness at most 4 has a nowhere-zero 5-flow. Therefore, a possible minimum counterexample to the 5-flow conjecture has oddness at least 6.
