Abstract

Let φP(C6) (respectively, φT( C6)) be the minimum integer k with the property that every 3-polytope (respectively, every plane triangulation) with minimum degree 5 has a 6-cycle with all vertices of degree at most k. In 1999, S. Jendrol' and T. Madaras proved that 10≤φT(C6)≤11. It is also known, due to B. Mohar, R. Škrekovski and H.-J. Voss (2003), that φP(C6)≤107. We prove that φP( C6)=φT(C6)=11.
