Bounds on chromatic number of $k$-planar graphs

A $1$-planar graph can be drawn in the plane so that each arc is crossed at most once by another arc. A $k$-planar graph can be drawn so that each arc is crossed at most $k$ times. Planar graphs are ...

Visualizing polyhedra from their 1-skeletons

Except for a few simple cases (typically pyramids and prisms) I find it hard to visualize a polyhedron from its 1-skeleton embedded in the plane, e.g. the hexahedral graph 5, as can be seen here. ...

Why is the crossing number of Tutte 12-cage 170?

From the Wikipedia entry on Tutte 12-cage , it is stated that the crossing number of Tutte 12-cage is 170, but the cited references do not seem to provide sufficient explanation for this. Exoo, G. &...

There is a 3-connected 5-regular simple $n$-vertex planar graph iff $n$ satisfies....?

Is there any characterization on the set of integers $n$ such that there is a 3-connected 5-regular simple $n$-vertex planar graph?

Is there any maximal 1-planar or 2-planar graph that is not 3-connected

A graph is $k$-planar if it can be drawn in the plane so that each edge is crossed at most $k$ times. A $k$-planar graph $G$ is maximal if $G+uv$ is not $k$-planar for any non-adjacent vertices $u,v\...

What is the crossing number of dodecahedron with a copy of $K_5$ inside each face

Suppose we are given a regular dodecahedron. Then we add five crossed edges inside each of its faces (actually, inside each face it is a copy of $K_5$). It is clear that this drawing has 60 crossings. ...

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 ...
