摘要：
Merker conjectured that if k >= 2 is an integer and G a 3-connected cubic planar graph of circumference at least k, then the set of cycle lengths of G must contain at least one element of the interval [k, 2k + 2]. We here prove that for every even integer k >= 6 there is an infinite family of counterexamples. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
