For a given planar graph G with a set A of independent vertices, we provide a best-possible upper bound for the minimum cyclomatic number of connected induced subgraphs of G containing A. The extremal graphs are also characterized. @

✦ Synopsis
Let the trunk of a graph G be the graph obtained by removing all leaves of G. We prove that, for every integer c _> 2, there are at most finitely many trunks of serniharrnonic graphs with cyclomatic number e--in contrast to the fact established by the last two of the present authors in their paper Serniharmonic Bicyclic Graphs (this journal) that there are infinitely many connected semiharmonie graphs with given cyclomatic number. Further, we prove that there are at most finitely many semiharmonie but not almost semiregular graphs with cyclomatic number c.

Let P(n) be the class of all connected graphs having exactly n ~> 1 negative eigenvalues (including their multiplicities). In this paper we prove that the class P(n) contains only finitely many so-called canonical graphs. The analogous statement for the class Q(n) of all connected graphs having exac
Suppose that n i> 2t + 2 (t/> 17). Let G be a graph with n vertices such that its complement is connected and, for all distinct non-adjacent vertices u and v, there are at least t common neighbours. Then we prove that and Furthermore, the results are sharp.
