Abstract

Let G be a 3-connected graph and e an edge of G. If, by deleting e from G, the resultant graph G-e is a 3-connected graph or a subdivision of a 3-connected graph, then e is called a removable edge of G. In this paper we obtain that there are at least two removable edges in a spanning tree of a 3-connected 3-regular graph. Also we give an O(n3) time algorithm to find all removable edges in G.
