چکیده

We investigate here how far we can extend the notion of a Halin graph such that hamiltonicity is preserved. Let H = T ∪ C be a Halin graph, T being a tree and C the outer cycle. A k-Halin graph G can be obtained from H by adding edges while keeping planarity, joining vertices of H − C, such that G − C has at most k cycles. We prove that, in the class of cubic 3-connected graphs, all 14-Halin graphs are hamiltonian and all 7-Halin graphs are 1-edge hamiltonian. These results are best possible.

The locating-chromatic number for Halin graphs

Let G be a connected graph. Let f be a proper k -coloring of G and Π = (R_1, R_2, . . . , R_k) bean ordered partition of V (G) into color classes. For any vertex v of G, define the color code c_Π(v) of v with respect to Π to be a k -tuple (d(v, R_1), d(v, R_2), . . . , d(v, R_k)), where d(v, R_i) is the min{d(v, x)|x ∈ R_i}. If distinct vertices have distinct color codes, then we call f a locat...

Planar graphs, regular graphs, bipartite graphs and Hamiltonicity: Corrigendum

In [1], page 127, the third last paragraph should be replaced by: It would seem that all 3-connected cubic bipartite graphs on 30 or fewer vertices are, however, Hamiltonian. This result is claimed by Kelmans and Lomonosov, see [2].

Almost series-parallel graphs: structure and colorability

The series-parallel (SP) graphs are those containing no topological K 4 and are considered trivial. We relax the prohibition distinguishing the SP graphs by forbidding only embeddings of K4 whose edges with both ends 3-valent (skeleton hereafter) induce a graph isomorphic to certain prescribed subgraphs of K 4 . In particular, we describe the structure of the graphs containing no embedding of K...

Cubic symmetric graphs of orders $36p$ and $36p^{2}$

A graph is textit{symmetric}, if its automorphism group is transitive on the set of its arcs. In this paper, we  classifyall the connected cubic symmetric  graphs of order $36p$  and $36p^{2}$, for each prime $p$, of which the proof depends on the classification of finite simple groups.

Lovász-Plummer conjecture on Halin graphs

A Halin graph, defined by Halin [3], is a plane graph H = T ∪ C such that T is a spanning tree of H with no vertices of degree 2 where |T | ≥ 4 and C is a cycle whose vertex set is the set of leaves of T . In his work, as an example of a class of edge-minimal 3-connected plane graphs, Halin constructed this family of plane graphs, which have many interesting properties. Lovász and Plummer [5] n...
