A 4-regular graph G is 4-edge-colorable if and only if G has two edge-disjoint even 2-factors whose union contains all edges in G . It is known that the line graph of a cubic graph without 3-edge-coloring is not 4-edge-colorable. Hence, we are interested in whether those graphs have an even 2-factor. Bonisoli and Bonvicini proved that the line graph of a connected cubic graph G with an even number of edges has an even 2-factor, if G has a perfect matching [Even cycles and even 2-factors in the line graph of a simple graph, The Electron. J. Combin. 24 (2017), P4.15]. In this paper, we extend this theorem to the line graph of a connected cubic graph G satisfying certain conditions.","PeriodicalId":37096,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Applications of Graphs","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67545778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we investigate vertex-multiplications of trees with diameter $4$ in $mathscr{C}_0$ (or $mathscr{C}_1$) and exhibit its intricate connections with problems in Sperner Theory, thereby extending Gutin's approach.

The proper connection number of a connected graph G, denoted pc(G), is the smallest number of colors needed to color the edges of G such that the resulting colored graph is properly connected. An edge-colored graph is flexibly connected if for every pair of vertices u and v there exist two properly colored paths between them, say P and Q, such that the first edges of P and Q have different colors and the last edges of P and Q have different colors. The flexible connection number of a connected graph G, denoted fpc(G), is the smallest number of colors needed to color the edges of G such that the resulting colored graph is flexibly connected. In this paper, we demonstrate several methods for constructing graphs with pc(G) = 2 and fpc(G) = 2. We describe several families of graphs such that pc(G) ≥ 2 and we settle a conjecture from [3]. We prove that if G is connected and bipartite, then pc(G) = 2 is equivalent to being 2-edge-connected and fpc(G) = 2 is equivalent to the existence of a path through all cut-edges.

In recent work, Hoffman, et al. study PRCF edge colorings and find many examples of PRCF-bad graphs having girth less than or equal to 4. They then ask whether such graphs exist having girth greater than 4. In our work, we give a straightforward counting argument showing that the Hoffman-Singleton graph answers this question in the affirmative for the case of girth 5.
