Hamilton weights and Petersen minors

چکیده
A (1, 2)-eulerian weight w of a cubic graph is called a Hamilton weight if every faithful circuit cover of the graph with respect to w is a set of two Hamilton circuits. Let G be a 3-connected cubic graph containing no Petersen minor. It is proved in this paper that G admits a Hamilton weight if and only if G can be obtained from K4 by a series of4$Y-operations. As a byproduct of the proof of the main theorem, we also prove that if G is a permutation graph and w is a (1,2)-eulerian weight of G such that (G,w) is a critical contra pair, then the Petersen minor appears ``almost everywhere'' in the graph G. ß 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

On the Excluded Minors for the Matroids That Are Either Binary or Ternary
The classes of binary and ternary matroids are both relatively well understood as is their intersection, the class of regular matroids. This paper considers the union M of the classes of binary and ternary matroids. M is a minor-closed class and the focus of the paper is on determining its set of excluded minors. It is conjectured here that this set of excluded minors unique matroids that are o...
متن کاملHamilton paths in generalized Petersen graphs
This thesis puts forward the conjecture that for n > 3k with k > 2, the generalized Petersen graph, GP (n, k) is Hamilton-laceable if n is even and k is odd, and it is Hamilton-connected otherwise. We take the first step in the proof of this conjecture by proving the case n = 3k + 1 and k ≥ 1. We do this mainly by means of an induction which takes us from GP (3k + 1, k) to GP (3(k+2)+1, k+2). T...

متن کاملAn Identity for the Determinant
When the directed graph of an n–by–n matrix A does not contain a Hamilton cycle, we exhibit a formula for detA in terms of sums of products of proper principal minors of A. The set of minors involved depends upon the zero/nonzero pattern of A.
متن کاملCycle double covers and spanning minors II
In this paper we continue our investigations from [HM01] regarding spanning subgraphs which imply the existence of cycle double covers. We prove that if a cubic graph G has a spanning subgraph isomorphic to a subdivision of a bridgeless cubic graph on at most 10 vertices then G has a CDC. A notable result is thus that a cubic graph with a spanning Petersen minor has a CDC, a result also obtaine...
