We show that if n >~6m then it is possible to construct m edge-disjoint maximal planar graphs on a set of n vertices, but that it is not possible if n < 6m -1. We also show that given a pair of edge-disjoint maximal planar graphs, and a specified face in one, there exist at least three faces in the
A theorem of J. Edmonds states that a directed graph has k edge-disjoint branchings rooted at a vertex r if and only if every vertex has k edge-disjoint paths to r . We conjecture an extension of this theorem to vertex-disjoint paths and give a constructive proof of the conjecture in the case k = 2.
We prove that any k-regular directed graph with no parallel edges contains a collection of at least fl(k2) edge-disjoint cycles; we conjecture that in fact any such graph contains a collection of at least ( lCi1 ) disjoint cycles, and note that this holds for k 5 3. o 1996
