✦ Synopsis

We construct a small non-Hamiltonian 3-connected trivalent planar graph whose faces are all 4-gons or 7-gons and show that the shortness coefficient of the class of such graphs is less than one. Then, by transforming non-Hamiltonian trivalent graphs into regular graphs of valency four or five, we obtain our main results, as follows. We show first that the class of 3-connected r-valent planar graphs whose faces are of only two types, triangles and q-gons, contains non-Hamiltonian members and has a shortness exponent less than one when r = 4, for all q 2 12. Under the extra restriction that, among graphs of connectivity three, only those with maximum cyclic edge-connectivity are to be considered, we prove the same result also when r = 4, for q = 20, and when r = 5, for all q 2 14 except multiples of three.

We consider the class of pentagonal 3-polytopal graphs all of whose edges are incident either with two 3-valent vertices or with a 3-valent vertex and a q-valent vertex. For most values of q, (i) we find a small non-hamiltonian graph in the class and (ii) we show that the shortness exponent of the c

It is shown that, if q >/29 and q ~ 0 (mod 3), the infinite class of 5-regular 3-polytopal graphs whose edges are incident with either two triangles or a triangle and a q-gon contains nonhamiltonian members and even has shortness exponent less than one.
