Quasi-4-Connected Components
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce a new decomposition of a graphs into quasi-4-connected components, where we call a graph quasi-4-connected if it is 3-connected and it only has separations of order 3 that separate a single vertex from the rest of the graph. Moreover, we give a cubic time algorithm computing the decomposition of a given graph. Our decomposition into quasi-4-connected components refines the well-known decompositions of graphs into biconnected and triconnected components. We relate our decomposition to Robertson and Seymour’s theory of tangles by establishing a correspondence between the quasi-4-connected components of a graph and its tangles of order 4. 1998 ACM Subject Classification G.2.2 Graph Theory

Cycles in quasi 4-connected graphs
A graph G is said to be quasi 4 -connected if G is 3-connected and for each cutset K ~ V( G) with IKI = 3, K is the neighbourhood of a vertex of degree three and G K has precisely two components. It is evident that such graphs need not be 4-connected and yet they exhibit many of the properties of 4-connected graphs. In this paper, we show that, given a set, N ~ E( G) of four independent edges, ...
متن کاملEvery cubic cage is quasi 4-connected
A (δ, g)-cage is a regular graph of degree δ and girth g with the least possible number of vertices. It was proved by Fu, Huang and Rodger that every (3, g)-cage is 3-connected. Moreover, the same authors conjectured that all (δ, g)-cages are δ-connected for every δ ≥ 3. As a first step towards the proof of this conjecture, Jiang and Mubayi showed that every (δ, g)-cage with δ ≥ 3 is 3-connecte...
متن کاملQuasi-fractal sets in space
Let a be a positive real number, a < 1/2. A standard construction of a self-similar Cantor set in the plane starts with the unit square [0, 1]× [0, 1], replaces it with the four corner squares with sidelength a, then replaces each of those squares with their four corner squares of sidelength a, and so on. At the nth stage one has 4 squares with sidelength a, and the resulting Cantor set has Hau...
متن کاملExotic Projective Structures and Boundary of Quasi-fuchsian Space
Let P (S) denote the space of projective structures on a closed surface S. It is known that the subset Q(S) P (S) of projective structures with quasiFuchsian holonomy has in nitely many connected components. In this paper, we investigate the con guration of these components. In particular, we show that the closure of any exotic component of Q(S) intersects the closure of the standard component ...
