点度和面度的最小值是3的连通平图

称一个连通平图是k||δ_(v,f~-)平图,若其顶点的最小度δ_v和面的最小度δ_f的最小值δ_(v,f)是k.本文研究3||δ_(v,f~-)平图.通过一个图运算构造证明链环分支数等于1的3||δ_(v,f~-)平图的存在性,并证明在相等意义下链环分支数不小于基圈数的3||δ_(v,f~-)平图是唯一的.然后证明在相等意义下,边数等于6,8的3||δ_(v,f~-)平图都是唯一的,边数等于9的3||δ_(v,f~-)平图有且只有两个且它们是互为对偶的.接着研究连通平图与其中间图在相等意义下的相互关系.作为运用,证明了无弓形链环图的三个唯一性结论.

On Light Graphs in 3-Connected Plane Graphs Without Triangular or Quadrangular Faces

 We prove that each 3-connected plane graph G without triangular or quadrangular faces either contains a k-path P _k , a path on k vertices, such that each of its k vertices has degree ≤5/3k in G or does not contain any k-path. We also prove that each 3-connected pentagonal plane graph G which has a k-cycle, a cycle on k vertices, k∈ {5,8,11,14}, contains a k-cycle such that all its vertices have, in G, bounded degrees. Moreover, for all integers k and m, k≥ 3, k∉ {5,8,11,14} and m≥ 3, we present a graph in which every k-cycle contains a vertex of degree at least m.

A characterization of projective-planar signed graphs

A signed graph has a plus or minus sign on each edge. A simple cycle is positive or negative depending on whether it contains an even or odd number of negative edges, respectively. We consider embeddings of a signed graph in the projective plane for which a simple cycle is essential if and only if it is negative. We characterize those signed graphs that have such a projective-planar embedding. Our characterization is in terms of a related signed graph formed by considering the theta subgraphs in the given graph.     

Non‐rainbow colorings of 3‐, 4‐ and 5‐connected plane graphs

We study vertex‐colorings of plane graphs that do not contain a rainbow face, i.e., a face with vertices of mutually distinct colors. If G is a 3 ‐connected plane graph with n vertices, then the number of colors in such a coloring does not exceed . If G is 4 ‐connected, then the number of colors is at most , and for n≡3(mod8), it is at most . Finally, if G is 5 ‐connected, then the number of colors is at most . The bounds for 3 ‐connected and 4 ‐connected plane graphs are the best possible as we exhibit constructions of graphs with colorings matching the bounds. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Polychromatic colorings of bounded degree plane graphs

A polychromatic k‐coloring of a plane graph G is an assignment of k colors to the vertices of G such that every face of G has all k colors on its boundary. For a given plane graph G, one seeks the maximum number k such that G admits a polychromatic k ‐coloring. In this paper, it is proven that every connected plane graph of order at least three, and maximum degree three, other than K₄ or a subdivision of K₄ on five vertices, admits a 3‐coloring in the regular sense (i.e., no monochromatic edges) that is also a polychromatic 3‐coloring. Our proof is constructive and implies a polynomial‐time algorithm. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 60: 269‐283, 2009     

Coloring of Plane Graphs with Unique Maximal Colors on Faces

The Four Color Theorem asserts that the vertices of every plane graph can be properly colored with four colors. Fabrici and Göring conjectured the following stronger statement to also hold: the vertices of every plane graph can be properly colored with the numbers 1, …, 4 in such a way that every face contains a unique vertex colored with the maximal color appearing on that face. They proved that every plane graph has such a coloring with the numbers 1, …, 6. We prove that every plane graph has such a coloring with the numbers 1, …, 5 and we also prove the list variant of the statement for lists of sizes seven.     

An algorithm for constructing star-shaped drawings of plane graphs

A straight-line planar drawing of a plane graph is called a convex drawing if every facial cycle is drawn as a convex polygon. Convex drawings of graphs is a well-established aesthetic in graph drawing, however not all planar graphs admit a convex drawing. Tutte [W.T. Tutte, Convex representations of graphs, Proc. of London Math. Soc. 10 (3) (1960) 304–320] showed that every triconnected plane graph admits a convex drawing for any given boundary drawn as a convex polygon. Thomassen [C. Thomassen, Plane representations of graphs, in: Progress in Graph Theory, Academic Press, 1984, pp. 43–69] gave a necessary and sufficient condition for a biconnected plane graph with a prescribed convex boundary to have a convex drawing.In this paper, we initiate a new notion of star-shaped drawing of a plane graph as a straight-line planar drawing such that each inner facial cycle is drawn as a star-shaped polygon, and the outer facial cycle is drawn as a convex polygon. A star-shaped drawing is a natural extension of a convex drawing, and a new aesthetic criteria for drawing planar graphs in a convex way as much as possible. We give a sufficient condition for a given set A of corners of a plane graph to admit a star-shaped drawing whose concave corners are given by the corners in A, and present a linear time algorithm for constructing such a star-shaped drawing.

Embeddings of chemical graphs in hypercubes

We study planar graphs embedded in the plane that have chemical applications: the degrees of all vertices are 3 or 2, all internal faces but one or two arer-gons, and each internal face is a simply connected domain. For wide classes of such graphs, we solve the existence problem for embeddings of the graph metric on the vertices in multidimensional cubes or cubical lattices preserving or doubling all the distances. Incidentally we present a complete classification of some interesting families of such graphs. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 68, No. 3, pp. 339–352, September, 2000.
