Mutually disjoint triangles in certain planar graph












1














Let G be a connected, planar graph for which every vertex has degree 3, except that one vertex has degree 2.



Is it possible to construct an example of such G whose only odd faces are triangles, and for which no two such triangles share a common vertex?



(For my purposes I may assume there are no faces of length 1 or 2, in which case there must be an odd face of length at least 3. By the handshake lemma, there are an even number of, hence at least 2, such odd faces.)

Here is one such graph - or, more precisely, one such plane embedding of a graph, since the lengths of the faces are not properties of the graph itself. It has two faces of length 3 (including the external face), two faces of length 4, and two faces of length 6.

(Motivation: we start with a triangular pyramid, which has all the required properties except for the degree-2 vertex, and modify it a little to make it work.)

Take two cycles of the same order 2n+1, $C_a$ and $C_b$ and number each in clockwise fashion.



"Glue together" $v_{1a}$ and $v_{1b}$, and then do the same for $v_{2a}$ and $v_{2b}$, so that there is just one edge between $v_1$ and $v_2$.



Then, for each $i > 2$ create an edge between $v_{ia}$ and $v_{ib}$.



Finally, subdivide the edge between $v_1$ and $v_2$.

A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

Image
0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{...

Calculate evaluation metrics using cross_val_predict sklearn

1 In the sklearn.model_selection.cross_val_predict page it is stated: Generate cross-validated estimates for each input data point. It is not appropriate to pass these predictions into an evaluation metric. Can someone explain what does it mean?
