Book embeddings of graphs and a theorem of Whitney

Combinatorics 2021-10-05 v1

Abstract

It is shown that the number of pages required for a book embedding of a graph is the maximum of the numbers needed for any of the maximal nonseparable subgraphs and that a plane graph in which every triangle bounds a face has a two-page book embedding. The latter extends a theorem of H. Whitney and gives two-page book embeddings for XX-trees and square grids.
