Abstract

In this article, we apply a cutting theorem of Thomassen to show that there is a function f: N → N such that if G is a 3-connected graph on n vertices which can be embedded in the orientable surface of genus g with face-width at least f(g), then G contains a cycle of length at least cnlog32, where c is a constant not dependent on g. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
