Hamiltonicity Of Edge Chromatic Critical Graphs

Keywords

Critical graphs; Edge coloring; Hamiltonian cycles

Abstract

Vizing conjectured that every edge chromatic critical graph contains a 2-factor. Believing that stronger properties hold for this class of graphs, Luo and Zhao (2013) showed that every edge chromatic critical graph of order n with maximum degree at least [Formula presented] is Hamiltonian. Furthermore, Luo et al. (2016) proved that every edge chromatic critical graph of order n with maximum degree at least [Formula presented] is Hamiltonian. In this paper, we prove that every edge chromatic critical graph of order n with maximum degree at least [Formula presented] is Hamiltonian. Our approach is inspired by the recent development of Kierstead path and Tashkinov tree techniques for multigraphs.
