A normal partition of the edges of a cubic graph is a partition into trails (no repeated edge) such that each vertex is the end vertex of exactly one trail of the partition. We investigate this notion and give some results and problems.

This is an expository paper. A $1$-cycle in a graph is a set $C$ of edges such that every vertex is contained in an even number of edges from $C$. E.g., a cycle in the sense of graph theory is a $1$-cycle, but not vice versa. It is easy to…

Let $\rho(G)$ denote the number of convex cycles of a simple graph G of order n, size m, and girth 3 <= g <=n. It is proved that $\rho(G) \leq \frac{n}{g}(m-n+1)$ and that equality holds if and only if G is an even cycle or a Moore graph.…

In this paper we modify slightly Razborov's flag algebra machinery to be suitable for the hypercube. We use this modified method to show that the maximum number of edges of a 4-cycle-free subgraph of the n-dimensional hypercube is at most…

Universal cycles, such as De Bruijn cycles, are cyclic sequences of symbols that represent every combinatorial object from some family exactly once as a consecutive subsequence. Graph universal cycles are a graph analogue of universal…

It is shown that a hamiltonian $n/2$-regular bipartite graph $G$ of order $2n>8$ contains a cycle of length $2n-2$. Moreover, if such a cycle can be chosen to omit a pair of adjacent vertices, then $G$ is bipancyclic.

A non-planar graph is almost-planar if either deleting or contracting any edge makes it planar. A graph with $n$ vertices is pancyclic if it contains a cycle of every length from $3$ to $n$, and it is Hamiltonian if it contains a cycle of…

A conjecture of Berge suggests that every bridgeless cubic graph can have its edges covered with at most five perfect matchings. Since three perfect matchings suffice only when the graph in question is $3$-edge-colourable, the rest of cubic…

Bondy and Vince showed that every graph with minimum degree at least three contains two cycles of lengths differing by one or two.We prove the following average degree counterpart that every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with at least $\frac52(n-1)$…

The groups which can act semisymmetrically on a cubic graph of twice odd order are determined modulo a normal subgroup which acts semiregularly on the vertices of the graph.

We prove that for all natural numbers $m$ and $k$ where $k$ is odd, there exists a natural number $N(k)$ such that any 3-connected cubic graph with at least $N(k)$ vertices contains a cycle of length $m$ modulo $k$. We also construct a…

We consider cycle decompositions of even, $2an$-dimensional hypercubes $Q_{2an},$ where $a \geq 3$ is odd and $n \geq 1.$ Prior work done by Axenovich, Offner, and Tompkins focused on obtaining the existence of cycle decompositions for…

A cycle double cover (CDC) of an undirected graph is a collection of the graph's cycles such that every edge of the graph belongs to exactly two cycles. We describe a constructive method for generating all the cubic graphs that have a 6-CDC…

The varietal hypercube $VQ_n$ is a variant of the hypercube $Q_n$ and has better properties than $Q_n$ with the same number of edges and vertices. This paper shows that every edge of $VQ_n$ is contained in cycles of every length from 4 to…

Let $H$ be obtained from a cyclically $4$-edge-connected cubic planar graph $Y$ other than $K_4$ by deleting two adjacent vertices. We provide a short proof that if $H$ has circumference at least $k$ for some even integer $k \ge 4$, then…

We consider constructions of covering-radius-1 completely regular codes, or, equivalently, equitable 2-partitions (regular 2-partitions, perfect 2-colorings), of halved n-cubes. Keywords: completely regular code, equitable partition,…

Every simple quadrangulation of the sphere is generated by a graph called a pseudo-double wheel with two local expansions (Brinkmann et al. "Generation of simple quadrangulations of the sphere." Discrete Math., Vol. 305, No. 1-3, pp. 33-54,…

In this paper we provide some sufficient conditions for the existence of an odd or even cycle that passing a given vertex or an edge in $2$-connected or $2$-edge connected graphs. We provide some similar conditions for the existence of an…

Let $G$ denote a $Q$-polynomial distance-regular graph with diameter $D$ at least 4. Assume that the intersection numbers of $G$ satisfy $a_i=0$ for $0 \leq i \leq D-1$ and $a_D\neq 0$. We show that $G$ is a polygon, a folded cube, or an…

The subdivided double construction on 4-regular graphs was used by Poto\v{c}nik and Wilson to explore semi-symmetric (edge-transitive but not vertex-transitive) graphs, and can be used to construct every semi-symmetric 4-regular graph that…
