Given a graph G, its edges are said to be exactly x-coloured if we have a surjective map from the edges to some set of colours of size x. Erickson considered the following statement which he denoted P(c, m): if the edges of K | the complete graph on vertex set N are exactly c-coloured, then there ex

β¦ Synopsis
If the edges of a complete graph K,., m/> 4, are painted two colours so that monochromatic K " graphs are connected, then there exists an increasing sequence ( n)n~4 of complete subgraphs whose monochromatic subgraphs are also connected. For more than two colours this is not true, but an analogous fact concerning the complements of monochromatic graphs is proved. It is also shown that the theorems generalize to graphs with multicoloured edges, and some investigations of infinite complete graphs are made.

A graph G is called k-critical if x(G) = k and x(G -e) -C x(G) for each edge e of G, where x denotes the chromatic number. T. Gallai conjectured that every k-critical graph of order n contains at most n complete (kl)-subgraphs. In 1987, Stiebitz proved Gallai's conjecture in the case k = 4, and in 1
## Abstract By Petersen's theorem, a bridgeless cubic graph has a 2βfactor. H. Fleischner extended this result to bridgeless graphs of minimum degree at least three by showing that every such graph has a spanning even subgraph. Our main result is that, under the stronger hypothesis of 3βedgeβconnec
It is shown that if three vertices of the graph c?(l)) of a convex 3-polytope P are chosen, then G(P) contains a refinement of the complete graph C,, on four vertices, for which the three chosen vertices are principal (that is, correspond to vertices of C, in the refinement.. In general, all four ve
