We show that the edge set of a bridgeless cubic graph \(G\) can be covered with circuits such that the sum of the lengths of the circuits is at most \(\frac{64}{39}|E(G)|\). Stronger results are obtained for cubic graphs of large girth. 1994 Academic Press, Inc.

## Abstract Let __SCC__~3~(__G__) be the length of a shortest 3‐cycle cover of a bridgeless cubic graph __G__. It is proved in this note that if __G__ contains no circuit of length 5 (an improvement of Jackson's (__JCTB 1994__) result: if __G__ has girth at least 7) and if all 5‐circuits of __G_
In this article, we show that for any simple, bridgeless graph G on n vertices, there is a family C of at most n-1 cycles which cover the edges of G at least twice. A similar, dual result is also proven for cocycles namely: for any loopless graph G on n vertices and edges having cogirth g \* ≥ 3 and
## Abstract By a result of Gallai, every finite graph __G__ has a vertex partition into two parts each inducing an element of its cycle space. This fails for infinite graphs if, as usual, the cycle space is defined as the span of the edge sets of finite cycles in __G__. However, we show that, for t
We concentrate on two problems from the area of coverings of graphs, on an oriented version of Perfect Path Double Cover (PPDC) and on oriented version of Weighted Cycle Cover.
