In 2003 at Eurocomb conference J. Barát and C. Thomassen presented definition and basic results in edge partitioning of graphs. Edge partitioning is basically possibility to cover edges of the graph using connected subgraphs of prescribed size. Graph has edge partitioning property if and only if it can be covered for all prescribed subgraphs sizes. Our work is focused on edge partitioning, in which there are less results known, compared to vertex partitioning. We proof, that edge partitioning is implied by existence of open dominating trail and therefore with edge 4-connectivity. We also define limited version of edge partitioning, spectrum of partitioning and we proof some claims that are true for all graphs. We also explore limited partitioning on some specific classes of graphs.

A graph is k-resilient if it is possible to construct local routing tables for each vertex such that we can reach a specified destination vertex from anywhere in the graph. There is a conjecture that k-resilience is equivalent to (k+1)-connectivity. We prove this for 3-edge-connected graphs and 4-edge-connected planar triangulations. In the proof we use independent directed spanning trees. Two spanning trees are independent if they share no common edge with the same direction. For k=3,4 we show that a graph has k independent spanning trees if and only if it is k-edge-connected. We search for the spanning trees constructively through reductions of parts of the graph. Some of these reductions can also be used in a general k- connected case. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

<p>Turniri su najvi&scaron;e istraživana klasa orijentisanih grafova. U tezi su prezentovana dva tipa rezultata. Prvi se odnosi na tzv. neizbežne podgrafove. Obuhvata Hamiltonove bajpase, podgrafove C(<em>n, i</em>) i alternativne Hamiltonove konture. Drugi se bavi problemima frekvencija skorova u običnim, bipartitnim i 3-partitnim turnirima.</p> / <p>Tournaments are the most investigated class of oriented graphs. Two type of results are presented in the thesis. First one is related to so called unavoidable subgraphs. It discusses Hamiltonian bypasses, subgraphs C(n, i) and antidirected Hamiltonian cycles. The second deals with problems of score frequencies in ordinary, bipartite and 3-partite tournaments.</p>
