In this work methods of construction of cubic graphs are analyzed and a theorem of existence of a colored disc traversing each pair of linked edges belonging to an elementary cycle of a planar cubic graph ...
The number of edges in a cubic graph is determined as: m = 3n / 2 (1) Hence, the number of edges in such a graph is always a multiple of three. ...
Since the number of edges m is integer, therefore, the number of vertices n in an isomorphic cubic graph is even. ...

Switching 3-edge-colorings of cubic graphs
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Families of cubic graphs of orders 4n+2 and 4n+4 with 2^n edge-Kempe equivalence classes are presented; it is conjectured that there are no cubic graphs with more edge-Kempe equivalence classes. ...
The chromatic index of a cubic graph is either 3 or 4. Edge-Kempe switching, which can be used to transform edge-colorings, is here considered for 3-edge-colorings of cubic graphs. ...

Given a non-decreasing sequence S = (s 1 , s 2 , . . . , s k ) of positive integers, an Spacking edge-coloring of a graph G is a partition of the edge set of G into k subsets {X 1 , X 2 , . . . , X k } ...
