Is there any known upper bound for the local crossing number of a graph drawing in the plane?

The local crossing number ${\rm LCR(G)}$ of a graph $G$ is defined as the least nonnegative integer $k$ such that the graph has a $k$-planar drawing. In other words, it is the smallest possible number ...

Bounds on lengths of boxes in bounded-degree box graphs

$\DeclareMathOperator{\box}{\operatorname{box}}$$\DeclareMathOperator{\cub}{\operatorname{cub}}$ This is a follow up and an extension of another question I asked recently. A box graph is a graph ...

Bounds on lengths of intervals in bounded-degree interval graphs

A graph is said to be an interval graph if its vertices can be associated with (closed) intervals on the real line $\mathbb R$ and there is an edge between two vertices if and only if the ...

What lower bounds are known for pair crossing number and related questions in multigraphs?

So in terms of crossing number https://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.10480 gives a lower bound of $O(e^{2.5}/n^{1.5})$ for multigraphs with no face of length 2 with no node contained inside. What do we know ...

"separators" for nonplanar graphs embedded in the plane

Given a nonplanar graph $G$ drawn in the plane with crossings. Does there exist a small ($o(|V(G)|$) subset $S$ of edges of $G$ such that after the removal of all edges that intersect or share an ...

Problem related to crossing number

Let $G$ be a graph embedded in the plane (with crossings). For $ F \subset E(G) $, denote by $c(F)$ the set of edges of $G$ that cross some edge in $F$. Denote $\delta(v)$ the set of edges with one ...

Is there a variant of the crossing lemma for multigraphs with arbitrary embedding?

Suppose $G$ is a graph embedded in the plane with $m=|E(G)|$ edges and $n=|V(G)|$ vertices. Suppose $\operatorname{sim}(G)$, the simplification of $G$ contains $ m' \gg 3n $ edges. Call the set of ...

Is it possible that every edge in a 1-planar drawing with minimum number of crossings is crossed?

A graph is 1-planar is it has drawing in the plane so that each edge is crossed at most once. Here we also assume the drawing satisfies (1) no edge is self-crossed; (2) no two adjacent edges are ...

Example to show pairwise crossing number is not equal to crossing number

A common point of two edges in a graph drawing that is not an incident vertex is called a crossing. The crossing number $cr(G)$ is defined to be the minimum number of crossings in any drawing of $G$....

The density of a tripartite 1-planar graph

1-planar graphs are those can be drawn in the plane so that there is at most one crossing per edge. We know that the maximum number of edges of an $n$-vertex 1-planar graph is at most $4n-8$, and the ...

Given a vertex $u$ (of bounded degree $k$) and another vertex $v$ in a planar graph, what is the smallest number of "curves"?

Given a vertex $u$ (of bounded degree $k$) and another vertex $v$ in a planar graph $G$, what is the smallest number of "curves" in the plane drawn from $u$ to $v$ such that no $u$--$v$ path in $G$ ...

Universal point sets for 1-plane graphs

It is a notorious open problem to find a smallest set of $N$ points that permit any $n$-vertex planar graph to be drawn in the plane without crossings, using only those $N$ points as vertices, and ...

Drawings of complete graphs with $Z(n)$ crossings

Hill conjectured that the minimum number of crossings in a drawing of the complete graph $K_n$ in the plane is exactly $$Z(n) = \frac{1}{4} \bigg\lfloor\frac{n}{2}\bigg\rfloor \left\lfloor\frac{n-1}{...

3-dimensional Cayley graph

I would like to see Cayley graphs drawn in 3-dimensional Euclidean space such that the vertices are represented by points and various shadows display the actions of the generators. For example, ...
