Abstract

If G is a hamiltonian 3-polytopal graph with n vertices, G will be called almost pancyclic of order m (m ≥ 3, m < n) if G has cycles of all lengths other than m. Some constructions are given for 3-valent 3-polytopal graphs which are almost pancyclic of order m, and some related results and problems are discussed.
