Let $P,Q$ be longest paths in a simple graph. We analyze the possible connections between the components of $Pcup Qsetminus (V(P)cap V(Q))$ and introduce the notion of a bi-traceable graph. We use the results for all the possible configurations of the intersection points when $#V(P)cap V(Q)le 5$ in order to prove that if the intersection of three longest paths $P,Q,R$ is empty, then $#(V(P)cap V(Q))ge 6$. We also prove Hippchens conjecture for $kle 6$: If a graph $G$ is $k$-connected for $kle 6$, and $P$ and $Q$ are longest paths in $G$, then $#(V(P)cap V(Q))ge 6$.
In 1966, Gallai asked whether all longest paths in a connected graph share a common vertex. Counterexamples indicate that this is not true in general. However, Gallais question is positive for certain well-known classes of connected graphs, such as s
Let $G$ be a $k$-connected graph on $n$ vertices. Hippchens Conjecture states that two longest paths in $G$ share at least $k$ vertices. Gutierrez recently proved the conjecture when $kleq 4$ or $kgeq frac{n-2}{3}$. We improve upon both results; name
We prove that for a connected simple graph $G$ with $nle 10$ vertices, and two longest paths $C$ and $D$ in $G$, the intersection of vertex sets $V(C)cap V(D)$ is a separator. This shows that the graph found previously with $n=11$, in which the compl
Given integers $k,j$ with $1le j le k-1$, we consider the length of the longest $j$-tight path in the binomial random $k$-uniform hypergraph $H^k(n,p)$. We show that this length undergoes a phase transition from logarithmic length to linear and deter
We apply the Discharging Method to prove the 1,2,3-Conjecture and the 1,2-Conjecture for graphs with maximum average degree less than 8/3. Stronger results on these conjectures have been proved, but this is the first application of discharging to the
