Two strong 3-flow theorems for planar graphs

چکیده
In 1972, Tutte posed the $3$-Flow Conjecture: that all $4$-edge-connected graphs have a nowhere zero $3$-flow. This was extended by Jaeger et al.(1992) to allow vertices prescribed, possibly non-zero difference (modulo $3$) between inflow and outflow. They conjectured $5$-edge-connected with valid prescription function $3$-flow meeting (we call this Strong Conjecture). Kochol (2001) showed replacing would suffice prove Conjecture Lovasz al.(2013) Conjectures hold if edge connectivity condition is relaxed $6$-edge-connected. Both problems are still open for graphs. The known planar graphs, as it dual of Grotzsch's Colouring Theorem. Steinberg Younger (1989) provided first direct proof using flows well projective Richter al.(2016) We provide two extensions their result, we developed in order

Separator Theorems and Turán-type Results for Planar Intersection Graphs
We establish several geometric extensions of the Lipton-Tarjan separator theorem for planar graphs. For instance, we show that any collection C of Jordan curves in the plane with a total of m crossings has a partition into three parts C = S ∪C1 ∪C2 such that |S| = O( √ m), max{|C1|, |C2|} ≤ 2 3 |C|, and no element of C1 has a point in common with any element of C2. These results are used to obt...
متن کاملStrong edge-colouring of sparse planar graphs
A strong edge-colouring of a graph is a proper edge-colouring where each colour class induces a matching. It is known that every planar graph with maximum degree∆ has a strong edge-colouring with at most 4∆ + 4 colours. We show that 3∆ + 1 colours suffice if the graph has girth 6, and 4∆ colours suffice if ∆ ≥ 7 or the girth is at least 5. In the last part of the paper, we raise some questions ...
متن کاملStrong Alliances in Graphs
For any simple connected graph $G=(V,E)$, a defensive alliance is a subset $S$ of $V$ satisfying the condition that every vertex $vin S$ has at most one more neighbour in $V-S$ than it has in $S$. The minimum cardinality of any defensive alliance in $G$ is called the alliance number of $G$, denoted $a(G)$. In this paper, we introduce a new type of alliance number called $k$-strong alliance numb...
متن کاملWEAK AND STRONG DUALITY THEOREMS FOR FUZZY CONIC OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS
The objective of this paper is to deal with the fuzzy conic program- ming problems. The aim here is to derive weak and strong duality theorems for a general fuzzy conic programming. Toward this end, The convexity-like concept of fuzzy mappings is introduced and then a speci c ordering cone is established based on the parameterized representation of fuzzy numbers. Un- der this setting, duality t...
متن کاملAcyclically 3-Colorable Planar Graphs
In this paper we study the planar graphs that admit an acyclic 3-coloring. We show that testing acyclic 3-colorability is NP-hard, even for planar graphs of maximum degree 4, and we show that there exist infinite classes of cubic planar graphs that are not acyclically 3-colorable. Further, we show that every planar graph has a subdivision with one vertex per edge that admits an acyclic 3-colori...
