Abstract
Two graphs G1 and G2 on n vertices are said to pack if there exist injective mappings of their vertex sets into [n] such that the images of their edge sets are disjoint. A longstanding conjecture due to Bollobás and Eldridge and, independently, Catlin, asserts that, if (Î(G1)+1)(Î(G2)+1)â¤n+1, then G1 and G2 pack. We consider the validity of this assertion under the additional assumptions that neither G1 nor G2 contain a 4-, 6- or 8-cycle, and that Î(G1) or Î(G2) is large enough (â¥940060).
