Why are planar graphs so exceptional?

As compared to classes of graphs embeddable in other surfaces. Some ways in which they're exceptional: Mac Lane's and Whitney's criteria are algebraic characterizations of planar graphs. (Well, ...

Decomposing a graph into n-cycles [closed]

Suppose I have a strongly $k-regular$ graph $G$, of size $v$, where every vertex is $N>0$ $n-cycles$, for $at least$ one value of $n$ that divides $v$. Can we cut edges from $G$ in such a way ...

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 ...
