It was conjectured in [Wang, to appear in The Australasian Journal of Combinatorics] that, for each integer k β₯ 2, there exists . This conjecture is also verified for k = 2, 3 in [Wang, to appear; Wang, manuscript]. In this article, we prove this conjecture to be true if n β₯ 3k, i.e., M (k) β€ 3k. W
For any positive integer k, a minimum degree condition is obtained which forces a graph to have k edge-disjoint cycles C 1 , C 2 , ..., C k such that V(C 1
A graph G of order n is a ck-graph if for every pair of d~tinct, nonadlacenl veJtlces x and y' d(x)+d(y)>~n+k where d(v) denotes the degree of a vertex v In this paper, we prove the
## Abstract We construct graphs with lists of available colors for each vertex, such that the size of every list exceeds the maximum vertexβcolor degree, but there exists no proper coloring from the lists. This disproves a conjecture of Reed. Β© 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 41: 106β10
