چکیده
It is shown that in a 4-connected maximal planar graph there is for any four vertices a, b, c and d, a cycle in the graph that contains the four vertices and visits them in the order a, b, c and d.

On Hamiltonian Cycles through Prescribed Edges of a Planar Graph
We use [3] for terminology and notation not defined here and consider finite simple graphs only. The first major result on the existence of hamiltonian cycles in graphs embeddable in surfaces was by H. Whitney [12] in 1931, who proved that 4-connected maximal planar graphs are hamiltonian. In 1956, W.T. Tutte [10,11] generalized Whitney’s result from maximal planar graphs to arbitrary 4-connect...
متن کاملA linear algorithm for finding Hamiltonian cycles in 4-connected maximal planar graphs
The Hamiltonian cycle problem is one of the most popular NP-complete problems, and remains NP-complete even if we restrict ourselves to a class of (3-connected cubic) planar graphs [5,9]. Therefore, there seems to be no polynomial-time algorithm for the Hamiltonian cycle problem. However, for certain (nontrivial) classes of restricted graphs, there exist polynomial-time algorithms [3,4,6]. In f...
متن کاملProportional Contact Representations of 4-Connected Planar Graphs
In a contact representation of a planar graph, vertices are represented by interior-disjoint polygons and two polygons share a non-empty common boundary when the corresponding vertices are adjacent. In the weighted version, a weight is assigned to each vertex and a contact representation is called proportional if each polygon realizes an area proportional to the vertex weight. In this paper we ...
متن کاملOn topological aspects of orientations
1. Introduction Constrained orientations, that is orientations such that all the vertices have a prescribed indegree, relates to one another many combinatorial and topological properties such as arboricity, connectivity and planarity. These orientations are the basic tool to solve planar augmentation problems 2]. We are concerned with two classes of planar graphs: maximal planar graphs (i.e. po...
متن کاملLinkage for the diamond and the path with four vertices
Given graphs G and H , we say G is H-linked if for every injective mapping ` : V (H) → V (G) we can find a subgraphH ′ of G that is a subdivision of H , with `(v) being the vertex of H ′ corresponding to each vertex v of H . In this paper we prove two results on H-linkage for 4-vertex graphs H . Goddard showed that 4-connected planar triangulations are 4-ordered, or in other words C4-linked. We...
