Acute triangles in 4-connected maximal plane graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we show that every 4-connected maximal plane graph with m finite faces other than the octahedron can be drawn in the plane so that at least (m+3)/2 faces are acute triangles. Moreover, this bound is sharp. © 2005 Published by Elsevier B.V.

On Tensor Product of Graphs, Girth and Triangles
The purpose of this paper is to obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the tensor product of two or more graphs to be connected, bipartite or eulerian. Also, we present a characterization of the duplicate graph $G 1 K_2$ to be unicyclic. Finally, the girth and the formula for computing the number of triangles in the tensor product of graphs are worked out.
متن کاملThe maximal total irregularity of some connected graphs
The total irregularity of a graph G is defined as 〖irr〗_t (G)=1/2 ∑_(u,v∈V(G))▒〖|d_u-d_v |〗, where d_u denotes the degree of a vertex u∈V(G). In this paper by using the Gini index, we obtain the ordering of the total irregularity index for some classes of connected graphs, with the same number of vertices.
متن کاملMaximal outerplanar graphs as chordal graphs, path-neighborhood graphs, and triangle graphs
Maximal outerplanar graphs are characterized using three different classes of graphs. A path-neighborhood graph is a connected graph in which every neighborhood induces a path. The triangle graph T (G) has the triangles of the graph G as its vertices, two of these being adjacent whenever as triangles in G they share an edge. A graph is edge-triangular if every edge is in at least one triangle. ...
متن کاملHamilton cycles in plane triangulations
We extend Whitney’s Theorem that every plane triangulation without separating triangles is hamiltonian by allowing some separating triangles. More precisely we define a decomposition of a plane triangulation G into 4-connected ‘pieces’ and show that if each piece shares a triangle with at most three other pieces then G is hamiltonian. We provide an example to show that our hypothesis that ‘each...
متن کاملOn the saturation number of graphs
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connected graph. A matching $M$ in a graph $G$ is a collection of edges of $G$ such that no two edges from $M$ share a vertex. A matching $M$ is maximal if it cannot be extended to a larger matching in $G$. The cardinality of any smallest maximal matching in $G$ is the saturation number of $G$ and is denoted by $s(G)$. In this paper we study the saturation numbe...
