چکیده

Let G be a graph with odd edge-connectivity r. It is proved in this paper that if r > 3, then G has a 3-cycle (1, 2)-cover of total length at most ((r + 1)|E(G)|)/r . © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Shortest cycle covers and cycle double covers with large 2-regular subgraphs

In this paper we show that many snarks have shortest cycle covers of length 43m + c for a constant c, where m is the number of edges in the graph, in agreement with the conjecture that all snarks have shortest cycle covers of length 43m+ o(m). In particular we prove that graphs with perfect matching index at most 4 have cycle covers of length 4 3m and satisfy the (1, 2)-covering conjecture of Z...

Postman tours and cycle covers

Raspaud, A., Postman tours and cycle covers, Discrete Mathematics 111 (1993) 447-454. Let G be a bridgeless graph. We show that the length of a shortest postman tour is at most IF(G)1 + 1 k’(G)1 3 and that, if G is a minimally 2-edge connected graph, then the length is at most 21 V(G)l-2. We then deduce results concerning the length of a shortest cycle cover for graphs containing no subdivision...

Shortest k-Disjoint Paths via Determinants

The well-known k-disjoint path problem (k-DPP) asks for pairwise vertex-disjoint paths between k specified pairs of vertices (si, ti) in a given graph, if they exist. The decision version of the shortest k-DPP asks for the length of the shortest (in terms of total length) such paths. Similarly the search and counting versions ask for one such and the number of such shortest set of paths, respec...

More about Thermosyphone Rankine Cycle Performance Enhancement (RESEARCH NOTE)

The heat pipe applications have been coupled with the renewable energy such as solar energy, waste heat and geothermal energy. Thermosyphon Rankine Cycle (TRC) is a vertical wickless heat pipe engine. In this engine, the turbine is installed between the insulated section and a condenser section of thermosyphon. The mechanical energy developed by the turbine can be converted to electricity, by d...

Short Cycle Covers of Cubic Graphs and Graphs with Minimum Degree Three

The Shortest Cycle Cover Conjecture of Alon and Tarsi asserts that the edges of every bridgeless graph with m edges can be covered by cycles of total length at most 7m/5 = 1.400m. We show that every cubic bridgeless graph has a cycle cover of total length at most 34m/21 ≈ 1.619m and every bridgeless graph with minimum degree three has a cycle cover of total length at most 44m/27 ≈ 1.630m.
