چکیده
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.

Short Cycle Covers of Graphs with Minimum Degree Three
The Shortest Cycle Cover Conjecture asserts that the edges of every bridgeless graph with m edges can be covered by cycles of total length at most 7m/5 = 1.4m. We show that every bridgeless graph with minimum degree three that contains m edges has a cycle cover comprised of three cycles of total length at most 44m/27 ≈ 1.6296m; this extends a bound of Fan [J. Graph Theory 18 (1994), 131–141] fo...
متن کاملDiameter Two Graphs of Minimum Order with Given Degree Set
The degree set of a graph is the set of its degrees. Kapoor et al. [Degree sets for graphs, Fund. Math. 95 (1977) 189-194] proved that for every set of positive integers, there exists a graph of diameter at most two and radius one with that degree set. Furthermore, the minimum order of such a graph is determined. A graph is 2-self- centered if its radius and diameter are two. In this paper for ...
متن کاملOn the edge-connectivity of C_4-free graphs
Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ and minimum degree $delta(G)$.The edge-connectivity $lambda(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum numberof edges whose removal renders $G$ disconnected. It is well-known that$lambda(G) leq delta(G)$,and if $lambda(G)=delta(G)$, then$G$ is said to be maximally edge-connected. A classical resultby Chartrand gives the sufficient condition $delta(G) geq frac{n-1}{2}$fo...
متن کاملOn Edge-Decomposition of Cubic Graphs into Copies of the Double-Star with Four Edges
A tree containing exactly two non-pendant vertices is called a double-star. Let $k_1$ and $k_2$ be two positive integers. The double-star with degree sequence $(k_1+1, k_2+1, 1, ldots, 1)$ is denoted by $S_{k_1, k_2}$. It is known that a cubic graph has an $S_{1,1}$-decomposition if and only if it contains a perfect matching. In this paper, we study the $S_{1,2}$-decomposit...
متن کاملOn the tenacity of cycle permutation graph
A special class of cubic graphs are the cycle permutation graphs. A cycle permutation graph Pn(α) is defined by taking two vertex-disjoint cycles on n vertices and adding a matching between the vertices of the two cycles.In this paper we determine a good upper bound for tenacity of cycle permutation graphs.
