Remarks on Extremal Overfull Graphs

Abstract

An overfull graph is a graph whose number of its edges is greater than the product of its maximum degree and [n/2] , where n is the number of vertices. In this paper, some extremals of overfull graphs are presented. We also classify all plannar overfull graphs.
