We present a planar hypohamiltonian graph on 42 vertices and (as a corollary) a planar hypotraceable graph on 162 vertices, improving the bounds of Zamfirescu and Zamfirescu and show some other consequences. We also settle the open problem whether there exists a positive integer N, such that for eve

Abstract
We prove that every oriented planar graph admits a homomorphism to the Paley tournament P~271~ and hence that every oriented planar graph has an antisymmetric flow number and a strong oriented chromatic number of at most 271. Β© 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 52: 200β210, 2006

This paper generalizes a theorem of Thomassen on paths in planar graphs. As a corollary, it is shown that every 4-connected planar graph has a Hamilton path between any two specified vertices x, y and containing any specified edge other than xy.
The linear arboricity la(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of linear forests that partition the edges of G. Akiyama, Exoo, and Harary conjectured for any simple graph G with maximum degree β. The conjecture has been proved to be true for graphs having β =
The problem is considered under which conditions a 4-connected planar or projective planar graph has a Hamiltonian cycle containing certain prescribed edges and missing certain forbidden edges. The results are applied to obtain novel lower bounds on the number of distinct Hamiltonian cycles that mus
C. Thomassen extended Tutte's theorem on cycles in planar graphs in the paper "A Theorem on Paths in Planar Graphs". This note corrects a flaw in his proof.
