Question
Transcribed Image Text:7. [10 marks]
Let G = (V,E) be a 3-connected graph with at least 6 vertices. Let C be a cycle in G
of length 5. We show how to find a longer cycle in G.
(a) Let x be a vertex of G that is not on C. Show that there are three C-paths
Po, P1, P2 that are disjoint except at the shared initial vertex and only intersect
C at their final vertices.
(b) Show that at least two of P0, P1, P2 have final vertices that are adjacent along C.
(c) Combine two of Po, P1, P2 with C to produce a cycle in G that is longer than C.
