The origin of a planar graph theorem of Steinitz and Rademacher

The subsequent statements are extracted from the article titled 'Generating r-regular graphs' (https://doi.org/10.1016/S0166-218X(02)00593-0). A well-known classical theorem of Steinitz and ...

Product of vertex degrees of an edge in a planar graph

Let $G$ be a planar graph, which we may assume to be a triangulation, with vertex set $V$ and edge set $E$. Suppose the minimum vertex degree is at least 3, and suppose any two distinct edges share at ...

Implementation of Koebe–Andreev–Thurston circle packing?

The circle packing theorem (Koebe–Andreev–Thurston theorem) claims for a planar graph, we can pack disjoint circles, such that: the circles correspond to vertices and the disks are tangent if the ...

Reference for results about planar graphs

A colleague and I are writing a paper in which we need to make use of some basic facts about planar graphs. I would strongly prefer to simply give references for the results if possible, because the ...

Reference on generalization of plane graph duality between bonds and simple cycles

Let $G$ be a plane graph, and $G^*$ its dual. Among the $k$ partitions of the nodes of $G$, I'll call the connected k-partitions those such that each block of nodes of the partition induces a ...

Sharp upper bound of the number of edges for graphs of thickness two

A graph $G=(V,E)$ has thickness $2$ if $E$ can be written as a disjoint union $E=E_1\cup E_2$ so that $G_1:=(V,E_1),G_2:=(V,E_2)$ are planar graphs. For instance, $K_5$ has thickness $2$. It is known ...

Decomposing a planar graph

Thomassen proved that the vertex set of every planar graph can be decomposed into two sets inducing a 1-degenerate graph and a 2-degenerate graph, respectively (C. Thomassen, Decomposing a planar ...

What is the standard definition of dual of disconnected planar graph when underlying graph derives 'product structure' over connected graphs?

Dual graph of a plane graph has a standard definition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_graph and an edgeless graph on $n$ vertices is planar. What is the standard dual graph of such a graph? Update ...

How to prove that there does not exist any plane isotopy from the logarithmic spiral onto the real line? [closed]

Questions. EDIT: readers please note that while this question arose in research, the OP was so hung-up on a question concerning infinite planar graphs that a strong a-forteriori-reason, kindly ...
