β¦ Synopsis
An edge of a 3-connected graph G is said to be removable if G&e is a subdivision of a 3-connected graph. Holton et al. (1990) proved that every 3-connected graph of order at least five has at least W(|G| +10)Γ6X removable edges. In this paper, we prove that every 3-connected graph of order at least five, except the wheels W 5 and W 6 , has at least (3 |G| +18)Γ7 removable edges. We also characterize the graphs with (3 |G| +18)Γ7 removable edges.

## Abstract An (__n, q__) graph has __n__ labeled points, __q__ edges, and no loops or multiple edges. The number of connected (__n, q__) graphs is __f(n, q)__. Cayley proved that __f(n, n__^β1^) = __n__^nβ2^ and Renyi found a formula for __f(n, n)__. Here I develop two methods to calculate the exp
We present a reduction theorem for the class of all finite 3-connected graphs which does not make use of the traditional contraction of certain connected subgraphs. ## 1998 Academic Press Contractible edges play an important role in the theory of 3-connected graphs. Besides the famous wheel theore
The number of nonseparable graphs on n labeled points and q lines is u(n, 9). In the second paper of this series an exact formula for u(n, n + k) was found for general n and successive (small) k. The method would give an asymptotic approximation for fixed k as n + 30. Here an asymptotic approximatio
A smooth graph is a connected graph without endpoints; f (n, q ) is the number of connected graphs, v(n, q ) is the number of smooth graphs, and u(n, q) is the number of blocks on n labeled points and q edges: wk, V,, and u k are the exponential generating functions of f(n, n + k ) , v(n, n + k). an
