The paper characterizes $(2t+1)$-regular graphs with circular flow number $2 + \frac{2}{2t-1}$. For $t=1$ this is Tutte's characterization of cubic graphs with flow number 4. The class of cubic graphs is the only class of odd regular graphs…
We use the concept of production matrices to show that there exist sets of $n$ points in the plane that admit $\Omega(42.11^n)$ crossing-free geometric graphs. This improves the previously best known bound of $\Omega(41.18^n)$ by Aichholzer…
Topological drawings are representations of graphs in the plane, where vertices are represented by points, and edges by simple curves connecting the points. A drawing is simple if two edges intersect at most in a single point, either at a…
Given a planar graph $G$, we consider drawings of $G$ in the plane where edges are represented by straight line segments (which possibly intersect). Such a drawing is specified by an injective embedding $\pi$ of the vertex set of $G$ into…
We settle a problem of Dujmovi\'c, Eppstein, Suderman, and Wood by showing that there exists a function $f$ with the property that every planar graph $G$ with maximum degree $d$ admits a drawing with noncrossing straight-line edges, using…
The real vector space of non-oriented graphs is known to carry a differential graded Lie algebra structure. Cocycles in the Kontsevich graph complex, expressed using formal sums of graphs on $n$ vertices and $2n-2$ edges, induce -- under…
The classes of odd graphs $O_n$ and middle levels graphs $B_n$ form one parameter subclasses of the Kneser graphs and bipartite Kneser graphs respectively. In particular both classes are vertex transitive while resisting definitive…
For an angle $\alpha\in (0,\pi)$, we consider plane graphs and multigraphs in which the edges are either (i) one-bend polylines with an angle $\alpha$ between the two edge segments, or (ii) circular arcs of central angle $2(\pi-\alpha)$. We…
We study biplane graphs drawn on a finite planar point set $S$ in general position. This is the family of geometric graphs whose vertex set is $S$ and can be decomposed into two plane graphs. We show that two maximal biplane graphs---in the…
An edge e in a matching covered graph G is removable if G-e is matching covered; a pair {e; f} of edges of G is a removable doubleton if G-e-f is matching covered, but neither G-e nor G-f is. Removable edges and removable doubletons are…
We construct minor-closed addable families of graphs that are subcritical and contain all planar graphs. This contradicts (one direction of) a well-known conjecture of Noy.
A planar orthogonal drawing of a planar 4-graph G (i.e., a planar graph with vertex-degree at most four) is a crossing-free drawing that maps each vertex of G to a distinct point of the plane and each edge of $G$ to a sequence of horizontal…
The paper deals with planar polynomial vector fields. We aim to estimate the number of orbital topological equivalence classes for the fields of degree n. An evident obstacle for this is the second part of Hilbert's 16th problem. To…
In octilinear drawings of planar graphs, every edge is drawn as an alternating sequence of horizontal, vertical and diagonal ($45^\circ$) line-segments. In this paper, we study octilinear drawings of low edge complexity, i.e., with few…
Back in the Eighties, Heath showed that every 3-planar graph is subhamiltonian and asked whether this result can be extended to a class of graphs of degree greater than three. In this paper we affirmatively answer this question for the…
The processes of constructing some graphs from others using binary operations of union with intersection (gluing) are studied. For graph classes closed with respect to gluing operations the elemental and operational bases are introduced.…
We study a controlled random graph process introduced by Frieze, Krivelevich, and Michaeli. In this model, the edges of a complete graph are randomly ordered and revealed sequentially to a builder. For each edge revealed, the builder must…
A random geometric graph, $G(n,r)$, is formed by choosing $n$ points independently and uniformly at random in a unit square; two points are connected by a straight-line edge if they are at Euclidean distance at most $r$. For a given…
The addendum updates the results presented in the paper `Fake Projective Plane, Invent Math 168, 321-370 (2007)' and makes some additions and corrections. The fake projective planes are classified into twenty six classes. Together with a…
Minimal obstructions for embedding 4-regular Eulerian digraphs on the plane are considered in relation to the partial order defined by the cycle removal operation. Their basic properties are provided and all obstructions with parallel arcs…
