Title
Linked graphs with restricted lengths
Abstract
A graph G is k-linked if G has at least 2k vertices, and for every sequence x"1,x"2,...,x"k,y"1,y"2,...,y"k of distinct vertices, G contains k vertex-disjoint paths P"1,P"2,...,P"k such that P"i joins x"i and y"i for i=1,2,...,k. Moreover, the above defined k-linked graph G is modulo(m"1,m"2,...,m"k)-linked if, in addition, for any k-tuple (d"1,d"2,...,d"k) of natural numbers, the paths P"1,P"2,...,P"k can be chosen such that P"i has length d"i modulo m"i for i=1,2,...,k. Thomassen showed that, for each k-tuple (m"1,m"2,...,m"k) of odd positive integers, there exists a natural number f(m"1,m"2,...,m"k) such that every f(m"1,m"2,...,m"k)-connected graph is modulo(m"1,m"2,...,m"k)-linked. For m"1=m"2=...=m"k=2, he showed in another article that there exists a natural number g(2,k) such that every g(2,k)-connected graph G is modulo(2,2,...,2)-linked or there is X@?V(G) such that |X|==2. Our results generalize several known results on parity-linked graphs.
