| abstract: |
We prove that every cubic bridgeless graph
G
contains a
2
-factor which intersects all (minimal) edge-cuts of
size
3
or
4
. This generalizes an earlier result of the authors,
namely that such a
2
-factor exists provided that
G
is planar. As a further extension, we show that every
graph contains a cycle (a union of edge-disjoint circuits)
that intersects all edge-cuts of size
3
or
4
. Motivated by this result, we introduce the concept
of a coverable set of integers and discuss a number of
questions, some of which are related to classical problems
of graph theory such as Tutte's
4
-flow conjecture or the Dominating circuit
conjecture.

The first source gives you the `gzipped' PostScript, the second the plain PostScript and the third the format for the Adobe accrobat reader. Depending on the installation of your web browser, at least one of these should (after some amount of time) pop up a window for you that shows the full article. If this is not the case, you should contact your system administrator to install your browser correctly.
Due to limitations of your local software, the two formats may show up differently on your screen. If eg you use xpdf to visualize pdf, some of the graphics in the file may not come across. On the other hand, pdf has a capacity of giving links to sections, bibliography and external references that will not appear with PostScript.
