## Abstract For a graph __G__, we denote by __d__~__G__~(__x__) and ΞΊ(__G__) the degree of a vertex __x__ in __G__ and the connectivity of __G__, respectively. In this article, we show that if __G__ is a 3βconnected graph of order __n__ such that __d__~__G__~(__x__) + __d__~__G__~(__y__) + __d__~__
We show that if G is a 3-connected graph of order at least seven, then every longest path between distinct vertices in G contains at least two contractible edges. An immediate corollary is that longest cycles in such graphs contain at least three contractible edges. We consider only finite undirect
Let G be a connected graph, where k 2. S. Smith conjectured that every two longest cycles of G have at least k vertices in common. In this note, we show that every two longest cycles meet in at least ck 3Γ5 vertices, where cr0.2615. ## 1998 Academic Press In this note, we provide a lower bound on
