On the size of planarly connected crossing graphs

Combinatorics 2016-08-31 v3 Computational Geometry

Abstract

We prove that if an nn-vertex graph GG can be drawn in the plane such that each pair of crossing edges is independent and there is a crossing-free edge that connects their endpoints, then GG has O(n)O(n) edges. Graphs that admit such drawings are related to quasi-planar graphs and to maximal 11-planar and fan-planar graphs.
