Abstract

We study the spanning cactus problem on Petersen graph. Whether there exist a spanning cactus or not in a general graph is an intractable problem. The computational complexity of the algorithm for finding the minimum spanning cactus in a general graph is also NP- complete. In this paper we present a result which states that there does not exist any spanning cactus when the graph under consideration is a Petersen graph.
