1-三次图的因子覆盖和圈覆盖

1-factor and cycle covers of cubic graphs

Eckhard Steffen

摘要:

设$G$是一个无桥三次图.考虑$G$的$k$ 1-因子列表。设$E_i$是包含在$k$ 1-因子的精确$i$成员中的边的集合。令$μ_k(G)$是在$G$的$k$ 1-因子的所有列表上的最小的$|E_0|$。任何三个1-因子的列表都导出一个三次图的核。我们使用结果的结构的核心证明充分条件的Berge覆盖和存在的三个1-因子与空的交集。此外,如果$μ_3(G) \not = 0$,则$2 μ_3(G)$是$G$围长的上界。我们还证明了无桥三次图的最短圈覆盖长度的一些新的上界。具有$μ_4(G) = 0$的三次图有一个长度为$\frac{4}{3} |E(G)|$的4圈覆盖和一个5圈双覆盖。这些图也满足张的两个定理。对张的一个问题也作了否定的回答。

英文摘要:

Let $G$ be a bridgeless cubic graph. Consider a list of $k$ 1-factors of $G$. Let $E_i$ be the set of edges contained in precisely $i$ members of the $k$ 1-factors. Let $μ_k(G)$ be the smallest $|E_0|$ over all lists of $k$ 1-factors of $G$. Any list of three 1-factors induces a core of a cubic graph. We use results on the structure of cores to prove sufficient conditions for Berge-covers and for the existence of three 1-factors with empty intersection. Furthermore, if $μ_3(G) \not = 0$, then $2 μ_3(G)$ is an upper bound for the girth of $G$. We also prove some new upper bounds for the length of shortest cycle covers of bridgeless cubic graphs. Cubic graphs with $μ_4(G) = 0$ have a 4-cycle cover of length $\frac{4}{3} |E(G)|$ and a 5-cycle double cover. These graphs also satisfy two conjectures of Zhang. We also give a negative answer to a problem of Zhang.
