Crossing Number of Toroidal Graphs
It is shown that if a graph of n vertices can be drawn on the torus without edge crossings and the maximum degree of its vertices is at most d, then its planar crossing number cannot exceed cdn, where c is a constant. This bound, conjectured by Brass, cannot be improved, apart from the value of the constant. We strengthen and generalize this result to the case when the graph has a crossing-free...
متن کاملOn the cop number of generalized Petersen graphs
We show that the cop number of every generalized Petersen graph is at most 4. The strategy is to play a modified game of cops and robbers on an infinite cyclic covering space where the objective is to capture the robber or force the robber towards an end of the infinite graph. We prove that finite isometric subtrees are 1-guardable and apply this to determine the exact cop number of some famili...
متن کاملApproximating the Crossing Number of Toroidal Graphs
CrossingNumber is one of the most challenging algorithmic problems in topological graph theory, with applications to graph drawing and VLSI layout. No polynomial time approximation algorithm is known for this NP-Complete problem. We give in this paper a polynomial time approximation algorithm for the crossing number of toroidal graphs with bounded degree. In course of proving the algorithm we p...
متن کاملThe Cop Number of the One-Cop-Moves Game on Planar Graphs
Cops and robbers is a vertex-pursuit game played on graphs. In the classical cops-and-robbers game, a set of cops and a robber occupy the vertices of the graph and move alternately along the graph’s edges with perfect information about each other’s positions. If a cop eventually occupies the same vertex as the robber, then the cops win; the robber wins if she can indefinitely evade capture. Aig...
متن کاملOn the fixed number of graphs
A set of vertices $S$ of a graph $G$ is called a fixing set of $G$, if only the trivial automorphism of $G$ fixes every vertex in $S$. The fixing number of a graph is the smallest cardinality of a fixing set. The fixed number of a graph $G$ is the minimum $k$, such that every $k$-set of vertices of $G$ is a fixing set of $G$. A graph $G$ is called a $k$-fixed graph, if its fix...
