Title
Transformation Of Spanning Trees In A 2-Connected Graph
Abstract
Let T be a spanning tree of a graph G. This paper is concerned with the following operation : we remove an edge e is an element of E(T) from T, and then add an edge f is an element of E(G) - E(T) so that T - e + f is a spanning tree of G. We refer to this operation of obtaining T - e + f from T as the transfer of e to f. We prove that if G is a 2-connected graph with \V(G)\ greater than or equal to 5, and if T-1 and T-2 are spanning trees of G which are not stars, then T-1 can be transformed into T-2 by repeated applications of a transfer of a nonpendant edge (an edge xy of a tree T is called a nonpendant edge of T if both of x and y have degree at least 2 in T).
