Abstract
We study the Seifert surfaces of a link by relating the embeddings of graphs by using induced graphs. As applications, we prove that every link is the boundary of an oriented surface which is obtained from a graph embedding of a complete bipartite graph , where all voltage assignments on the edges of are 0. We also provide an algorithm to construct such a graph diagram of a given link and demonstrate the algorithm by dealing with the links and .
