Abstract

For positive integers b and c, with c even, satisfying the inequalities b+1≤c≤2b, the minimum order of a connected cubic graph with b bridges and c cutpoints is computed. Furthermore, the structure of all such smallest cubic graphs is determined. For each positive integer c, the minimum order of a quartic graph with c cutpoints is calculated. Moreover, the structure and number of all such smallest quartic graphs are determined.
