چکیده

We give a new, topological proof that the weak Hanani-Tutte theorem is true on orientable surfaces and extend the result to nonorientable surfaces. That is, we show that if a graph G cannot be embedded on a surface S, then any drawing of G on S must contain two edges that cross an odd number of times. We apply the result and proof techniques to obtain new and old results about generalized thrackles, including that every bipartite generalized thrackle in a surface S can be embedded in S. We also extend to arbitrary surfaces a result of Pach and Tóth that allows the redrawing of a graph so as to remove all crossings with even edges (an edge is even if it crosses every other edge an even number of times). From this result we can conclude that crS(G), the crossing number of a graph G on surface S, is bounded by 2 ocrS(G) , where ocrS(G) is the odd crossing number of G on surface S. Finally, we show that ocrS(G) = crS(G) whenever ocrS(G) ≤ 2, for any surface S.

Removing Even Crossings, Continued

In this paper we investigate how certain results related to the HananiTutte theorem can be lifted to orientable surfaces of higher genus. We give a new simple, geometric proof that the weak Hanani-Tutte theorem is true for higher-genus surfaces. We extend the proof to prove that bipartite generalized thrackles in a surface S can be embedded in S. We also show that a result of Pach and Tóth that...

Removing Independently Even Crossings

We show that cr(G) ≤ (2 iocr(G) 2 ) settling an open problem of Pach and Tóth [5,1]. Moreover, iocr(G) = cr(G) if iocr(G) ≤ 2.

Reliability Analysis of Switches and Crossings – A Case Study in Swedish Railway

It is reported that switches and crossings (S&C) are one of the subsystems that cause the most delays on Swedish Railways while accounting for at least 13% of maintenance costs. It is the main reason for choosing to base this study on this subsystem. Intelligent data processing allows understanding the real reliability characteristics of the assets to be maintained. The first objective of this...

Non–Adiabatic Transitions near Avoided Crossings: Theory and Numerics

We present a review of rigorous mathematical results about non– adiabatic transitions in molecular systems that are associated with avoided crossings of electron energy level surfaces. We then present a novel numerical technique for studying these transitions that is based on expansions in semiclassical wavepackets.
