Abstract

A well‐known result of Tutte states that a 3‐connected graph G is planar if and only if every edge of G is contained in exactly two induced non‐separating circuits. Bixby and Cunningham generalized Tutte's result to binary matroids. We generalize both of these results and give new characterizations of both 3‐connected planar graphs and 3‐connected graphic matroids. Our main result determines when a natural necessary condition for a binary matroid to be graphic is also sufficient. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 64: 165–174, 2010

An element e of a 3-connected matroid M is essential if neither the deletion M\e nor the contraction M/e is 3-connected. Tutte's Wheels and Whirls Theorem proves that the only 3-connected matroids in which every element is essential are the wheels and whirls. In this paper, we consider those 3-conne

A well-known Tutte's theorem claims that every 3-connected planar graph has a convex embedding into the plane. Tutte's arguments also show that, moreover, for every nonseparating cycle C of a 3-connected graph G, there exists a convex embedding of G such that C is a boundary of the outer face in thi

## Abstract The concept of a matroid vertex is introduced. The vertices of a matroid of a 3‐connected graph are in one‐to‐one correspondence with vertices of the graph. Thence directly follows Whitney's theorem that cyclic isomorphism of 3‐connected graphs implies isomorphism. The concept of a vert
