We also show that this bound is close to being optimal by constructing, for every even $k\\geq 4$, an infinite family of 3-connected cubic planar graphs that contain no cycle whose length is in $[k,2k+1]$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-05-22T12:30:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cubic planar graph", "cycle spectrum", "natural number", "sufficiently large" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
