Connected but not path-connected subspaces of infinite graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
Solving a problem of Diestel [8] we show that the Freudenthal compactification of a locally finite graph can have connected subsets that are not path-connected. However we prove that connectedness and pathconnectedness do coincide for all but a few sets, which have a complicated structure.

On the edge-connectivity of C_4-free graphs
Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ and minimum degree $delta(G)$.The edge-connectivity $lambda(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum numberof edges whose removal renders $G$ disconnected. It is well-known that$lambda(G) leq delta(G)$,and if $lambda(G)=delta(G)$, then$G$ is said to be maximally edge-connected. A classical resultby Chartrand gives the sufficient condition $delta(G) geq frac{n-1}{2}$fo...
متن کاملHamiltonicity of planar graphs with a forbidden minor
Tutte showed that 4-connected planar graphs are Hamiltonian, but it is well known that 3-connected planar graphs need not be Hamiltonian. We show that K2,5-minor-free 3-connected planar graphs are Hamiltonian. This does not extend to K2,5-minor-free 3-connected graphs in general, as shown by the Petersen graph, and does not extend to K2,6-minor-free 3-connected planar graphs, as we show by an i...
متن کاملOrientations of infinite graphs with prescribed edge-connectivity
We prove a decomposition result for locally finite graphs which can be used to extend results on edge-connectivity from finite to infinite graphs. It implies that every 4k-edge-connected graph G contains an immersion of some finite 2k-edge-connected Eulerian graph containing any prescribed vertex set (while planar graphs show that G need not contain a subdivision of a simple finite graph of lar...
متن کاملA note on Fouquet-Vanherpe’s question and Fulkerson conjecture
The excessive index of a bridgeless cubic graph $G$ is the least integer $k$, such that $G$ can be covered by $k$ perfect matchings. An equivalent form of Fulkerson conjecture (due to Berge) is that every bridgeless cubic graph has excessive index at most five. Clearly, Petersen graph is a cyclically 4-edge-connected snark with excessive index at least 5, so Fouquet and Vanherpe as...
متن کاملA simple existence criterion for normal spanning trees in infinite graphs
A spanning tree of an infinite graph is normal if the endvertices of any chord are comparable in the tree order defined by some arbitrarily chosen root. (In finite graphs, these are their ‘depth-first search’ trees; see [3] for precise definitions.) Normal spanning trees are perhaps the most important single structural tool for analysing an infinite graph (see [4] for a good example), but they ...
