Abstract

A graph is Y Δ Y reducible if it can be reduced to a single vertex by a sequence of series‐parallel reductions and Y Δ Y transformations. The class of Y Δ Y reducible graphs is minor closed. We found a large number of minor minimal Y Δ Y irreducible graphs: a family of 57578 31‐edge graphs and another 40‐edge graph. It is still an open problem to characterize Y Δ Y reducible graphs in terms of a finite set of forbidden minors. Β© 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 47: 317–321, 2004

We prove terminal -Y reducibility of planar graphs with at most three terminals. The most important consequence of our proof is that this implicitly gives an efficient algorithm with time complexity O(|E (G)| 4 ) for reducibility of planar graphs G with at most three terminals. It also can be used f
