Edges incident with a vertex of degree greater than four and a lower bound on the number of contractible edges in a 4-connected graph
In this paper, we prove that the number of 4-contractible edges (edges that after contraction do not change the connectivity of the initial graph) of a 4-connected graph G is at least , where denotes the set of those vertices of G which have degree greater than or equal to 5.
This is the refinement of the result proved by Ando et al. [On the number of 4-contractible edges in 4-connected graphs, J. Combin. Theory Ser. B99 (2009) 97–109].
期刊介绍:
Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics is a venue for the rapid electronic publication of the proceedings of conferences, of lecture notes, monographs and other similar material for which quick publication is appropriate. Organizers of conferences whose proceedings appear in Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, and authors of other material appearing as a volume in the series are allowed to make hard copies of the relevant volume for limited distribution. For example, conference proceedings may be distributed to participants at the meeting, and lecture notes can be distributed to those taking a course based on the material in the volume.
