We prove that every essentially $4$-connected maximal planar graph $G$ on $n$ vertices contains a cycle of length at least $\\frac{2}{3}(n+4)$; moreover, this bound is sharp.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-01-11T10:30:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C38", "05C10" ], "keywords": [ "planar triangulations", "circumference", "connected maximal planar graph", "vertices contains", "connected graph" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
