What is the range of connectivity for maximal IC-planar graphs?
A graph is IC-planar if it admits a drawing in the plane with
at most one crossing per edge and such that two pairs of crossing edges
share no common end vertex. A graph $G$ is maximal in a graph ...

Is there is a constant $c$ such that toroidal graphs are minor-$c$-colorable?
A toroidal graph is a graph that can be embedded on a torus. In other words, the graph's vertices can be placed on a torus such that no edges cross.
A minor of graph G is a graph obtained from G by ...
