On Barnette's Conjecture and $H^{+-}$ property
Abstract
A conjecture of Barnette states that every 3-connected cubic bipartite plane graph has a Hamilton cycle, which is equivalent to the statement that every simple even plane triangulation admits a partition of its vertex set into two subsets so that each induces a tree. Let be a simple even plane triangulation and suppose that is a 3-coloring of the vertex set of . Let , , be the set of all vertices in of the degree at least 6. We prove that if induced graphs and are acyclic, then the following properties are satisfied: [6pt] (1) For every path there is possible to partition the vertex set of into two subsets so that each induces a tree, and one of them contains the edge and avoids the vertex , [6pt] (2) For every path with vertices , of the same color there is possible to partition the vertex set of into two subsets so that each induces a tree, and one of them contains the path .
