A conjecture on planar graphs

Let $L(G)=\sum_{xy\in E(G)} \min\lbrace\deg(x),\deg(y)\rbrace$. THM. For a simple planar graph with $n$ vertices, $L(G)\le 18n-36$ for $n\ge 3$. PROOF. Recall that a simple planar graph with $k\ge 3$ …

Generating 12-vertex plane graphs with 2 faces of degree 3 and all other faces of degree 4

The conditions "max face = 4, 21 edges, 12 vertices" characterize them. So: plantri -pf4e21 12 -- 125 outputs (these are the 3-connected ones) plantri -pf4e21c2 12 -- 120857 outputs (these are the 2- …

Is there easy proof for triangle-free two-coloring of planar graphs?

Yes, there is an extremely short and elegant proof by Carsten Thomassen. See this paper, Prop 2.5. In fact it is so short that I'll give it in full: Proof (by induction on $|V(G)|$). If $|V(G)|\le 4 …

Sufficient condition for a Hamilton cycle $C$ in a planar triangulation $G$ s.t. every trian...

Gunnar Brinkmann informs me that this paper constructs planar triangulations where every hamiltonian cycle misses all the edges of many triangles. Some of the examples are even 5-connected.

Threshold function for a graph not being planar

Consider the model where a random graph is made by adding one edge at a time chosen uniformly at random from edges not yet present. Łuczak, Pittel and Wierman (1994) showed that there is a function $f …

Enumerating all inequivalent planar embeddings of a planar graph

(Too long for a comment). Note that there are two different ways to define "all the embeddings" of a graph, both completely natural. I'll illustrate by example. Suppose a graph consists of two triangl …
