چکیده

In this paper we show that under some fairly general conditions the Overfull Conjecture about the chromatic index of a graph G implies the Conformability Conjecture about the total chromatic number of G. We also show that if G has even order and high maximum degree, then G is conformable unless the de0ciency is very small. c © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Minimum degree conditions for the Overfull Conjecture for odd order graphs

The Overfull Conjecture states that a graph G with 3∆(G) ≥ n(G) is Class 2 if and only if it has a ∆(G)-overfull subgraph. M. Plantholt showed that the Overfull Conjecture is true for graphs with even order and high minimum degree. In this paper we look at graphs with odd order and show under which restrictions the Overfull Conjecture holds true for these.

Frankl's Conjecture for a subclass of semimodular lattices

 In this paper, we prove Frankl's Conjecture for an upper semimodular lattice $L$ such that $|J(L)setminus A(L)| leq 3$, where $J(L)$ and $A(L)$ are the set of join-irreducible elements and the set of atoms respectively. It is known that the class of planar lattices is contained in the class of dismantlable lattices and the class of dismantlable lattices is contained in the class of lattices ha...

The Auslander-Reiten Conjecture for Group Rings

This paper studies the vanishing of $Ext$ modules over group rings. Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring and $ga$ a group. We provide a criterion under which the vanishing of self extensions of a finitely generated $Rga$-module $M$ forces it to be projective. Using this result, it is shown that $Rga$ satisfies the Auslander-Reiten conjecture, whenever $R$ has finite global dimension and $ga...

On 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 ...

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...
