B-sets and planar maps

Vol. 37 (1971), No. 1, 217–224

Abstract |
|
In this paper we examine the relation between B-sets, which are a purely set-theoretic concept, and various concepts associated with planar maps, for instance, four-colorings, five-colorings, Hamiltonian circuits, and Petersen’s theorem. Moreover, the introduction of the notion of a B-set into graph theory enables us to ask questions which may be more tractable than the four-color conjecture and shed light on it. |
