On -covers of cubic graphs with two adjacent odd circuits in a -factor
Ján Karabáš, Edita MáÄajová
Let be a cubic graph admitting a -factor consisting of exactly two odd circuits, and let the complementary -factor contain precisely three spokes (along with an arbitrary…

Cubic graphs of colouring defect 3 and conjectures of Berge and Alon-Tarsi
Ján Karabáš, Edita MáÄajová, Roman Nedela +1
We study two measures of uncolourability of cubic graphs, their colouring defect and perfect matching index. The colouring defect of a cubic graph is the smallest number of edg…

Regular colouring defect of a cubic graph and the conjectures of Fan-Raspaud and Fulkerson
Ján Karabáš, Edita MáÄajová, Roman Nedela +1
We introduce a new invariant of a cubic graph - its regular colouring defect - which is defined as the smallest number of edges left uncovered by any collection of three perfect ma…
