Let a vertex be selected at random in a set of n-edged rooted planar maps and p k denote the limit probability (as n ร ) of this vertex to be of valency k. For diverse classes of maps including Eulerian, arbitrary, polyhedral, and loopless maps as well as 2-and 3-connected triangulations, it is show

โฆ Synopsis
We determine the limiting distribution of the maximum vertex degree 2 n in a random triangulation of an n-gon, and show that it is the same as that of the maximum of n independent identically distributed random variables G 2 , where G 2 is the sum of two independent geometric(1ร2) random variables. This answers affirmatively a question of Devroye, Flajolet, Hurtado, Noy and Steiger, who gave much weaker almost sure bounds on 2 n . An interesting consequence of this is that the asymptotic probability that a random triangulation has a unique vertex with maximum degree is about 0.72. We also give an analogous result for random planar maps in general.

We consider two types of random subgraphs of the n-cube. For these models we study the asymptotic behaviour of the number of vertices of degree d.

## Abstract We improve some old results concerning the numbers of such edges and faces in planar graphs having minimal degree 5 which are incident only to vertices of minor degrees.
## Abstract The linear arboricity of a graph __G__ is the minimum number of linear forests which partition the edges of __G__. Akiyama et al. conjectured that $\lceil {\Delta {({G})}\over {2}}\rceil \leq {la}({G}) \leq \lceil {\Delta({G})+{1}\over {2}}\rceil$ for any simple graph __G__. Wu wu prove
