Abstract

Let Fn be a given set of unlabeled simple graphs of order n. A maximal common subgraph of the graphs of the set Fn is a common subgraph F of order n of each member of Fn, that is not properly contained in any larger common subgraph of each member of Fn. By well-known Dirac's Theorem, the Dirac's family DFn of the graphs of order n and minimum degree δ ≥ [n/2] has a maximal common subgraph containing Cn. In this note we study the problem of determining all maximal common subgraphs of the Dirac's family DF2n for n ≥ 2.

Keywords: maximal common subgraph, Dirac's family, Hamiltonian cycle.
