Combinatorics 2025-01-27 v1

Abstract

A local subgraph of a graph is the subgraph induced by the neighborhood of a vertex. Thus a graph of order nn has nn local subgraphs. A graph GG is called locally nonforesty if every local subgraph of GG contains a cycle. Clearly, a graph is locally nonforesty if and only if every vertex of the graph is the hub of a wheel. We determine the minimum size of a kk-connected locally nonforesty graph of order n.n.
