Abstract

A 3-connected graph G is said to be critical if for any vertex υ ∈ V (G) the graph G − υ is not 3-connected. Entringer and Slater proved that any critical 3-connected graph contains at least two vertices of degree 3. In this paper, a classification of critical 3-connected graphs with two vertices of degree 3 is given in the case where these vertices are adjacent. The case of nonadjacent vertices of degree 3 will be studied in the second part of the paper, which will be published later.
