M\'acajov\'a and \v{S}koviera Conjecture on Cubic Graphs

چکیده
A conjecture of M\'a\u{c}ajov\'a and \u{S}koviera asserts that every bridgeless cubic graph has two perfect matchings whose intersection does not contain any odd edge cut. We prove this conjecture for graphs with few vertices and we give a stronger result for traceable graphs.

A 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 کاملColouring of cubic graphs by Steiner triple systems
Let S be a Steiner triple system and G a cubic graph. We say that G is S-colourable if its edges can be coloured so that at each vertex the incident colours form a triple of S. We show that if S is a projective system PG(n, 2), n ≥ 2, then G is S-colourable if and only if it is bridgeless, and that every bridgeless cubic graph has an S-colouring for every Steiner triple system of order greater ...
متن کاملOn the oriented perfect path double cover conjecture
An oriented perfect path double cover (OPPDC) of a graph $G$ is a collection of directed paths in the symmetric orientation $G_s$ of $G$ such that each arc of $G_s$ lies in exactly one of the paths and each vertex of $G$ appears just once as a beginning and just once as an end of a path. Maxov{'a} and Ne{v{s}}et{v{r}}il (Discrete Math. 276 (2004) 287-294) conjectured that ...
متن کاملCounterexamples to the Cubic Graph Domination Conjecture
Let v(G) and γ(G) denote the number of vertices and the domination number of a graph G, respectively, and let ρ(G) = γ(G)/v(G). In 1996 B. Reed conjectured that ifG is a cubic graph, then γ(G) ≤ ⌈v(G)/3⌉. In 2005 A. Kostochka and B. Stodolsky disproved this conjecture for cubic graphs of connectivity one and maintained that the conjecture may still be true for cubic 2-connected graphs. Their mi...

Let v(G) and γ(G) denote the number of vertices and the domination number of a graph G, respectively, and let ρ(G) = γ(G)/v(G). In 1996 B. Reed conjectured that if G is a cubic graph, then γ(G) ≤ dv(G)/3e. In 2005 A. Kostochka and B.
