Title
Shortness Coefficient of Cyclically 4-Edge-Connected Cubic Graphs.
Abstract
Grunbaum and Malkevitch proved that the shortness coefficient of cyclically 4- edge-connected cubic planar graphs is at most 76/77. Recently, this was improved to 359/366 (< 52/53) and the question was raised whether this can be strengthened to 41/42, a natural bound inferred from one of the Faulkner-Younger graphs. We prove that the shortness coefficient of cyclically 4-edge-connected cubic planar graphs is at most 37/38 and that we also get the same value for cyclically 4-edge-connected cubic graphs of genus g for any prescribed genus g >= 0. We also show that 45/46 is an upper bound for the shortness coefficient of cyclically 4-edge-connected cubic graphs of genus g with face lengths bounded above by some constant larger than 22 for any prescribed g >= 0.
