Every longest circuit of a 3‐connected, K3,3‐minor free graph has a chord

Abstract: Carsten Thomassen conjectured that every longest circuit in a 3-connected graph has a chord. We prove the conjecture for graphs having no K3,3 minor, and consequently for planar graphs.Carsten Thomassen made the following conjecture [1,7], where a circuit denotes a connected 2-regular graph:

“…Therefore, t = 2 and hence C has length at least 8. If ℓ ≥ 6, then there exist j ∈ [2] such that {x 2 , x 4 } ⊆ N C (H j ) and {x 3 , x 5 } ⊆ N C (H 3−j ). This implies that G contains an (x, y)-path of length greater than ℓ(P ), a contradiction.…”

“…In particular, Zhang [11] proved that the conjecture is true for planar graphs with minimum degree at least four. More recently, Birmelé [1] verified the conjecture for the larger class of K 3,3 -minor free graphs.…”

“…The first result regarding planar graphs was due to Zhang [13], who showed the conjecture holds for cubic planar graphs or planar graphs with minimum degree at least four. Subsequently, Kawarabayashi et al [5] verified the conjecture for locally 4-connected planar graphs, and Birmelé [2] verified the result for every 3-connected graph with no K 3,3 -minor. Wu et al [12] verified the result for certain classes of graphs that have a bounded number of removable edges.…”
