Abstract
We consider the following question of BollobΓ‘s: given an rβcoloring of E(K~n~), how large a kβconnected subgraph can we find using at most s colors? We provide a partial solution to this problem when s=1 (and n is not too small), showing that when r=2 the answer is nβ2__k__+2, when r=3 the answer is β(nβk)/2β+1 or β(nβk)/2β+1, and when rβ1 is a prime power then the answer lies between n/(rβ1)β11(k^2^βk)r and (nβk+1)/(rβ1)+r. The case sβ₯2 is considered in a subsequent paper (Liu et al.[6]), where we also discuss some of the more glaring open problems relating to this question. Β© 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

We prove that every planar 3-connected graph has a 2-connected spanning subgraph of maximum valence 15 . We give an example of a planar 3 -connected graph with no spanning 2-connected subgraph of maximum valence five. i) 1994 Academic Press, Inc.
## 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
## Abstract We characterize all pairs of connected graphs {__X__, __Y__} such that each 3βconnected {__X__, __Y__}βfree graph is pancyclic. In particular, we show that if each of the graphs in such a pair {__X__, __Y__} has at least four vertices, then one of them is the claw __K__~1,3~, while the
