Uniquely Edge-3-Colorable Graphs and Snarks
A cubic graph G is uniquely edge-3-colorable if G has precisely one 1-factorization. It is proved in this paper, if a uniquely edge-3-colorable, cubic graph G is cyclically 4-edgeconnected, but not cyclically 5-edge-connected, then G must contain a snark as a minor. This is an approach to a conjecture that every triangle free uniquely edge-3-colorable cubic graph must have the Petersen graph as...
متن کاملUnique Fulkerson coloring of Petersen minor-free cubic graphs
Let G be a cubic graph and the graph 2G is obtained by replacing each edge of G with a pair of parallel edges. A proper 6-edgecoloring of 2G is called a Fulkerson coloring of G. It was conjectured by Fulkerson that every bridgeless cubic graph has a Fulkerson coloring. In this paper we show that for a Petersen-minor free Graph G, G is uniquely Fulkerson colorable if and only if G constructed fr...
متن کاملSERIE A | MATHEMATIK On the structure of dense triangle-free graphs
As a consequence of an early result of Pach we show that every maximal triangle-free graph is either homomorphic with a member of a speciic innnite sequence of 3-colourable graphs or it contains the Petersen graph minus one vertex as a subgraph. From this result and further structural observations we derive that if a (not necessarily maximal) triangle-free graph of order n has minimum degree n=...
متن کاملSmall Triangle-Free Configurations of Points and Lines
In the paper we show that all combinatorial triangle-free configurations for v ≤ 18 are geometrically realizable. We also show that there is a unique smallest astral (183) triangle-free configuration and its Levi graph is the generalized Petersen graph G(18, 5). In addition, we present geometric realizations of the unique flag transitive triangle-free configuration (203) and the unique point tr...
متن کاملOn path-cycle decompositions of triangle-free graphs
In this work, we study conditions for the existence of length-constrained path-cycle decompositions, that is, partitions of the edge set of a graph into paths and cycles of a given minimum length. Our main contribution is the characterization of the class of all triangle-free graphs with odd distance at least 3 that admit a path-cycle decomposition with elements of length at least 4. As a conse...
