Let phi(P)(C-6) (respectively, phi(T)(C-6)) be the minimum integer k with the property that every 3-polytope (respectively, every plane triangulation) with minimum degree 5 has a 6-cycle with all vertices of degree at most k. In 1999, S. Jendrol' and T. Madaras proved that 10 <= phi(T)(C-6) <= 11. It is also known, due to B. Mohar, R. Skrekovski and H.-J. Voss (2003), that phi(P)(C-6) <= 107. We prove that phi(P)(C-6) = phi(T)(C-6) = 11. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
