Abstract

In a cubic graph G3 with dominating cycle C, a matching M is called bipartizing if M ∩ E(C) = φ, M covers all of V(G3)- V(C), and G3 - M is homeomorphic to a cubic bipartite graph. In this note it will be shown that if G3 has two disjoint bipartizing matchings, then G3 has a cycle double cover S with C ∈ S.
