Abstract
Let M be a matching in a graph G such that d(x) + d(y) β₯ |G| for all pairs of independent vertices x and y of G that are incident with M. We determine a necessary and sufficient condition for M to be contained in a cycle of G. This extends results of HΓ€ggkvist and Berman, and implies that if M is a 1βfactor of G and |G| ο£½ 0 (mod 4), then M is contained in a Hamilton cycle of G. We use our results to deduce that an eulerian graph of minimum degree 2k contains k pairwise compatible Euler tours.

## Abstract B. Jackson [4] made the following conjecture: If __G__ is an Eulerian graph with Ξ΄(__G__) β₯ 2__k__, then __G__ has a set of 2__k__ β 2 pairwise compatible Euler cycles (i.e., every pair of adjacent edges appears in at most one of these Euler cycles as a pair of consecutive edges). We ve
Two Euler tours of a graph \(G\) are compatible if no pair of adjacent edges of \(G\) are consecutive in both tours. Bill Jackson recently gave a good characterization of those 4-regular graphs which contain three pairwise compatible Euler tours. In this paper we give a solution by means of a polyno
A variety of algebraic relationships between the various objects in the title are obtained. For example, if a graph embedded in the projective plane has only one left-right path, then the number of spanning trees in the graph and its geometric dual have different parities and its medial has an odd n
