A nonplanar graph G is near-planar if it contains an edge e such that G − e is planar. The problem of determining the crossing number of a near-planar graph is exhibited from di...
It is known that for every integer k ≥ 4, each k-map graph with n vertices has at most kn − 2k edges. Previously, it was open whether this bound is tight or not. We show that ...
For a family F of graphs, a graph U is said to be F-universal if every graph of F is a subgraph of U. Similarly, a graph is said to be F-induced-universal if every graph of F is a...
One of the fundamental trade-offs in compact routing schemes is between the space used to store the routing table on each node and the stretch factor of the routing scheme – th...
We study the properties of embeddings, multicommodity flows, and sparse cuts in minor-closed families of graphs which are also closed under 2-sums; this includes planar graphs, g...
