摘要
纳什-威廉姆斯(Nash-Williams)在 1960 年证明,当且仅当一个有限图是 2k 边连接时,它才会有一个 k 弧连接的方向,并猜想同样的结果也应该适用于所有无限图。托马森(C. Thomassen)在 2016 年证明了所有 8k 边连接的无限图都承认 k 弧连接的方向,而第一作者最近也证明了对于局部有限的 1 端图,4k 的边连接性就足够了。在本文中,我们为所有具有可数端点的局部有限图建立了 Nash-Williams 猜想中的最优约束 2k。
The Nash-Williams orientation theorem for graphs with countably many ends
Nash-Williams proved in 1960 that a finite graph admits a -arc-connected orientation if and only if it is -edge-connected, and conjectured that the same result should hold for all infinite graphs, too.
Progress on Nash-Williams’s problem was made by C. Thomassen, who proved in 2016 that all -edge-connected infinite graphs admit a -arc connected orientation, and by the first author, who recently showed that edge-connectivity of suffices for locally-finite, 1-ended graphs.
In the present article, we establish the optimal bound in Nash-Williams’s conjecture for all locally finite graphs with countably many ends.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Combinatorics is a high standard, international, bimonthly journal of pure mathematics, specializing in theories arising from combinatorial problems. The journal is primarily open to papers dealing with mathematical structures within combinatorics and/or establishing direct links between combinatorics and other branches of mathematics and the theories of computing. The journal includes full-length research papers on important topics.
