On extremal k-supereulerian graphs

چکیده
A graph G is called k-supereulerian if it has a spanning even subgraph with at most k components. In this paper, we prove that any 2-edge-connected loopless graph of order n is ⌈(n − 2)/3⌉-supereulerian, with only one exception. This result solves a conjecture in [Z. Niu, L. Xiong, Even factor of a graphwith a bounded number of components, Australas. J. Combin. 48 (2010) 269–279]. As applications, we give a best possible size lower bound for a 2-edge-connected simple graph Gwith n > 5k + 2 vertices to be k-supereulerian, a best possible minimum degree lower bound for a 2-edge-connected simple graph G such that its line graph L(G) has a 2-factor with at most k components, for any given integer k > 0, and a sufficient condition for k-supereulerian graphs. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Supereulerian planar graphs
We investigate the supereulerian graph problems within planar graphs, and we prove that if a 2-edge-connected planar graph G is at most three edges short of having two edge-disjoint spanning trees, then G is supereulerian except a few classes of graphs. This is applied to show the existence of spanning Eulerian subgraphs in planar graphs with small edge cut conditions. We also determine several...
متن کاملAn Update on Supereulerian Graphs
A graph is supereulerian if it has a spanning Eulerian subgraph. Motivated by the Chinese Postman Problem, Boesch, Suffel, and Tindell ([2]) in 1997 proposed the supereulerian problem, which seeks a characterization of graphs that have spanning Eulerian subgraphs, and they indicated that this problem would be very difficult. Pulleyblank ([71]) later in 1979 proved that determining whether a gra...
متن کاملSupereulerian graphs: A survey
A graph is supereulerian if it has a spanning eulerian subgraph. There is a reduction method to determine whether a graph is supereulerian, and it can also be applied to study other concepts, e.g., hamiltonian line graphs, a certain type of double cycle cover, and the total interval number of a graph. We outline the research on supereulerian graphs, the reduction method and its applications.
متن کاملSupereulerian graphs with width s and s-collapsible graphs
For an integer s > 0 and for u, v ∈ V (G) with u ≠ v, an (s; u, v)-trail-system of G is a subgraphH consisting of s edge-disjoint (u, v)-trails. A graph is supereulerianwithwidth s if for any u, v ∈ V (G) with u ≠ v, G has a spanning (s; u, v)-trail-system. The supereulerian width μ(G) of a graph G is the largest integer s such that G is supereulerian with width k for every integer kwith 0 ≤ k ...
متن کاملOn 3-edge-connected supereulerian graphs in graph family C(l, k)
Let l > 0 and k ≥ 0 be two integers. Denote by C(l, k) the family of 2-edge-connected graphs such that a graph G ∈ C(l, k) if and only if for every bond S ⊂ E(G) with |S| ≤ 3, each component of G − S has order at least (|V (G)| − k)/l. In this paper we prove that if a 3-edge-connected graph G ∈ C(12, 1), then G is supereulerian if and only if G cannot be contracted to the Petersen graph. Our re...
