چکیده

We give here some new lower bounds on the order of a largest induced forest in planar graphs with girth 4 and 5. In particular we prove that a triangle-free planar graph of order n admits an induced forest of order at least 6n+7 11 , improving the lower bound of Salavatipour [M. R. Salavatipour, Large induced forests in trianglefree planar graphs, Graphs and Combinatorics, 22:113–126, 2006]. We also prove that a planar graph of order n and girth at least 5 admits an induced forest of order at least 44n+50 69 .

Covering planar graphs with degree bounded forests

We prove that every planar graphs has an edge partition into three forests, one having maximum degree 4. This answers a conjecture of Balogh et al. (J. Combin. Theory B. 94 (2005) 147-158).We also prove that every planar graphs with girth g ≥ 6 (resp. g ≥ 7) has an edge partition into two forests, one having maximum degree 4 (resp. 2).

The coloring game on planar graphs with large girth, by a result on sparse cactuses

We denote by χg(G) the game chromatic number of a graph G, which is the smallest number of colors Alice needs to win the coloring game on G. We know from Montassier et al. [M. Montassier, P. Ossona de Mendez, A. Raspaud and X. Zhu, Decomposing a graph into forests, J. Graph Theory Ser. B, 102(1):38-52, 2012] and, independantly, from Wang and Zhang, [Y. Wang and Q. Zhang. Decomposing a planar gr...

Colorings and girth of oriented planar graphs

Homomorphisms between graphs are studied as a generalization of colorings and of chromatic number. We investigate here homomorphisms from orienta-tions of undirected planar graphs to graphs (not necessarily planar) containing as few digons as possible. We relate the existence of such homomorphisms to girth and it appears that these questions remain interesting even under large girth assumption ...

Complexity dichotomy for oriented homomorphism of planar graphs with large girth

We consider the complexity of oriented homomorphism and two of its variants, namely strong oriented homomorphism and pushable homomorphism, for planar graphs with large girth. In each case, we consider the smallest target graph such that the corresponding homomorphism is NP-complete. These target graphs T4, T5, and T6 have 4, 5, and 6 vertices, respectively. For i ∈ {4, 5, 6} and for every g, w...

Acircuitic directed star arboricity of planar graphs with large girth

A directed star forest is a forest all of whose components are stars with arcs emanating from the center to the leaves. The acircuitic directed star arboricity of an oriented graph G is the minimum number of edge-disjoint directed star forests whose union covers all edges of G and such that the union of two such forests is acircuitic. We show that graphs with maximum average degree less than 7 ...
