摘要
1956年,Tutte证明了著名定理:每个4-连通平面图都是哈密顿图。该结果意味着每个顶点数不少于三且坚韧度大于的平面图都是哈密顿图,从而具有2-因子。Owens于1999年构造了坚韧度任意接近的非哈密顿极大平面图,并问是否存在坚韧度恰为的极大非哈密顿平面图。事实上,Owens构造的图甚至不含2-因子。因此在坚韧平面图中2-因子存在性问题仅剩坚韧度恰为这一情形。Bauer、Broersma和Schmeichel在一篇综述中也提出了此问题。本文通过构造一个无2-因子的极大-坚韧平面图填补了这一空白,回答了Owens以及Bauer、Broersma和Schmeichel所提的问题。

备注
The first two versions were to "prove" that every 3/2-tough maximal planar graph on at least three vertices has a 2-factor. However, a calculation error was found by a referee and the error was not fixable, which leads to this new version. Here a counterexample is constructed
