Minimal braces

Journal of Graph Theory, 2020
AbstractMcCuaig proved a generation theorem for braces, and used it as the principal induction tool to obtain a structural characterization of Pfaffian braces. A brace is minimal if deleting any edge results in a graph that is not a brace. From McCuaig's brace generation theorem, we derive our main theorem that may be viewed as an induction tool for ...
