Let G be a 2-edge-connected graph with m edges and n vertices. The following two conjectures are proved in this paper. (i) The edges of G can be covered by circuits of total length at most m+n&1. (ii) The vertices of G can be covered by circuits of total length at most 2(n&1), where n 2. 1998 Acad

An equivalent statement of the circuit double cover conjecture is that every bridgeless graph \(G\) has a circuit cover such that each vertex \(v\) of \(G\) is contained in at most \(d(v)\) circuits of the cover, where \(d(v)\) is the degree of \(v\). Pyber conjectured that every bridgeless graph \(
Let G be a bridgeless cubic graph. Fulkerson conjectured that there exist six 1-factors of G such that each edge of G is contained in exactly two of them. Berge conjectured that the edge-set of G can be covered with at most five 1-factors. We prove that the two conjectures are equivalent.
In this paper we prove: (i) If a graph \(G\) has a nowhere-zero 6 -llow \(\phi\) such that \(\left|E_{\text {odd }}(\phi)\right| \geqslant \frac{2}{3}|E(G)|\), then \(G\) has a cycle cover in which the sum of the lengths of the cycles in the cycle cover is at most \(\frac{44}{27}|E(G)|\), where \(E_
In this paper, we prove the following theorem: Let L be a set of k independent edges in a k-connected graph G. If k is even or G -L is connected, then there exist one or two disjoint circuits containing all the edges in L. This theorem is the first step in the proof of the conjecture of L.
## Abstract A simple graph **__H__** is a cover of a graph **__G__** if there exists a mapping φ from **__H__** onto **__G__** such that φ maps the neighbors of every vertex υ in **__H__** bijectively to the neighbors of φ (υ) in **__G__**. Negami conjectured in 1986 that a connected graph has a fi
