Title
Note on 3-paths in plane graphs of girth 4
Abstract
An ( i , j , k ) -path is a path on three vertices u , v and w in this order with d e g ( u ) ¿ i , d e g ( v ) ¿ j , and d e g ( w ) ¿ k . In this paper, we prove that every connected plane graph of girth 4 and minimum degree at least 2 has at least one of the following: a ( 2 , ∞ , 2 ) -path, a ( 2 , 7 , 3 ) -path, a ( 3 , 5 , 3 ) -path, a ( 4 , 2 , 5 ) -path, or a ( 4 , 3 , 4 ) -path. Moreover, no parameter of this description can be improved. Our result supplements recent results concerning the existence of specific 3-paths in plane graphs.
