It is well-known that every planar graph has a vertex of degree at most five. Kotzig proved that every 3-connected planar graph has an edge xy such that deg(x) + deg(y) โค 13. In this article, considering a similar problem for the case of three or more vertices that induce a connected subgraph, we sh

โฆ Synopsis
A well-known Tutte's theorem claims that every 3-connected planar graph has a convex embedding into the plane. Tutte's arguments also show that, moreover, for every nonseparating cycle C of a 3-connected graph G, there exists a convex embedding of G such that C is a boundary of the outer face in this embedding. We give a simple proof of this last result. Our proof is based on the fact that a 3-connected graph admits an ear assembly having some special properties with respect to the nonseparating cycles of the graph. This fact may be interesting and useful in itself.

An L-list coloring of a graph G is a proper vertex coloring in which every vertex v gets a color from a list L(v) of allowed colors. G is called k-choosable if all lists L(v) have exactly k elements and if G is L-list colorable for all possible assignments of such lists. Verifying conjectures of Erd
The linear arboricity la(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of linear forests that partition the edges of G. Akiyama, Exoo, and Harary conjectured for any simple graph G with maximum degree โ. The conjecture has been proved to be true for graphs having โ =
