Abstract

A pentagraph is a simple graph without cycles on 3 or 4 vertices and without induced cycles of odd length at least 7. In this paper, we present some structural properties of pentagraphs. As a corollary, we give a short proof that there is exactly one 3-connected internally 4-connected non-bipartite cubic pentagraph, which is the Petersen graph.
