Minimal graphs for 2-factor extension

Dominique de Werra

Let G = (V, E) be a simple loopless finite undirected graph. We say that G is (2-factor) expandable if for any non-edge uv, G + uv has a 2-factor F that contains uv. We are interested in the following: Given a positive integer n = vertical bar V vertical b ...
