Light subgraphs in the family of 1-planar graphs with high minimum degree

A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn in the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. In this paper, it is shown that each 1-planar graph with minimum degree 7 contains a copy of K2∨(K1∪K2) with all vertices of degree at most 12. In addition, we also prove the existence of a graph K1∨(K1∪K2 ) with relatively small degree vertices in 1-planar graphs with minimum degree at least 6.     

A Totally(Δ+1)-colorable 1-planar Graph with Girth at Least Five

Acyclic Edge Coloring of 1-planar Graphs without 4-cycles

An acyclic edge coloring of a graph G is a proper edge coloring such that there are no bichromatic cycles in G.The acyclic chromatic index χ’α(G) of G is the smallest k such that G has an acyclic edge coloring using k colors.It was conjectured that every simple graph G with maximum degree Δ has χ’_α(G) ≤Δ+2.A1-planar graph is a graph that can be drawn in the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge.In this paper,we show that every 1-planar graph G without 4-cycles h...     

Acyclic edge coloring of triangle-free 1-planar graphs

A proper edge coloring of a graph G is acyclic if there is no 2-colored cycle in G. The acyclic chromatic index of G, denoted by χ a(G), is the least number of colors such that G has an acyclic edge coloring. A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn on the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. In this paper, it is proved that χ a(G) ≤Δ(G) + 22, if G is a triangle-free 1-planar graph.     

1-planar Graphs without 4-cycles or 5-cycles are 5-colorable

A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn on the Euclidean plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. A proper vertex k-coloring of a graph G is defined as a vertex coloring from a set of k colors such that no two adjacent vertices have the same color. A graph that can be assigned a proper k-coloring is k-colorable. A cycle is a path of edges and vertices wherein a vertex is reachable from itself. A cycle contains k vertices and k edges is a k-cycle. In this paper, it is proved t...     

Joins of 1-planar graphs

A graph is called 1-planar if it admits a drawing in the plane such that each edge is crossed at most once.In this paper,we study 1-planar graph joins.We prove that the join G + H is 1-planar if and only if the pair [G,H] is subgraph-majorized by one of pairs [C3 ∪ C3,C3],[C4,C4],[C4,C3],[K2,1,1,P3] in the case when both elements of the graph join have at least three vertices.If one element has at most two vertices,then we give several necessary/sufficient conditions for the bigger element.     

On edge colorings of 1-toroidal graphs

A graph is 1-toroidal, if it can be embedded in the torus so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. In this paper, it is proved that every 1-toroidal graph with maximum degree Δ≥ 10 is of class one in terms of edge coloring. Meanwhile, we show that there exist class two 1-toroidal graphs with maximum degree Δ for each Δ≤ 8.     

Neighbor Sum Distinguishing Total Coloring of Triangle Free IC-planar Graphs

A graph is IC-planar if it admits a drawing in the plane such that each edge is crossed at most once and two crossed edges share no common end-vertex.A proper total-k-coloring of G is called neighbor sum distinguishing if∑_c(u)≠∑_c(v)for each edge uv∈E(G),where∑_c(v)denote the sum of the color of a vertex v and the colors of edges incident with v.The least number k needed for such a total coloring of G,denoted byχ∑"is the neighbor sum distinguishing total chromatic number.Pilsniak and Wozniak conjecturedχ∑"(G)≤Δ(G)+3 for any simple graph with maximum degreeΔ(G).By using the famous Combinatorial Nullstellensatz,we prove that above conjecture holds for any triangle free IC-planar graph with△(G)≥7.Moreover,it holds for any triangle free planar graph withΔ(G)≥6.     

GENERAL THEORETICAL RESULTS ON RECTILINEAR EMBEDABILITY OF GRAPHS

In the design of certain kinds of electronic circuits the following question arises:given a non-negative integer k, what graphs admit of a plane embedding such that every edge is a broken lineformed by horizontal and vertical segments and having at mort k bends? Any such graph is said tobe k--rectilinear. No matter what k is, an obvious necessary condition for k-rectilinearity is that thedegree of each vertex does not exceed four.Our main result is that every planar graph H satisfying this condition is 3--rectilinear:in fact,it is 2--rectilinear with the only exception of the octahedron. We also outline a polynomial-timealgorithm which actually constructs a plane embedding of H with at most 2 bends (3 bends if H isthe octahedron) on each edge. The resulting embedding has the property that the total number ofbends does not exceed 2n, where n is the number of vertices of H.     

THEORETICAL RESULTS ON AT MOST 1-BEND EMBEDDABILITY OF GRAPHS

1. Introduction Let κ be a non-negative integer. A κ-bend graph is a plane graph in which every edgeis a broken line consisting of at most κ+ 1 horizontal or vertical segments. A bend is any point which is the intersection of a horizontal segment and a verticalsegment of an edge. A planar graph G is κ-rectilinear if it admits a plane embedding Gwhich is a κ-bend graph. In this case G is said to be a κ-embedding of G.     

Equitable Coloring of Three Classes of 1-planar Graphs

A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn on a plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. A plane graph with near-independent crossings or independent crossings, say NIC-planar graph or IC-planar graph, is a 1-planar graph with the restriction that for any two crossings the four crossed edges are incident with at most one common vertex or no common vertices, respectively. In this paper, we prove that each 1-planar graph, NIC-planar graph or IC-planar graph with maximum degree Δ at least 15, 13 or 12 has an equitable Δ-coloring, respectively. This verifies the well-known Chen-Lih-Wu Conjecture for three classes of 1-planar graphs and improves some known results.     

1-平面图及其子类的染色

如果图G可以嵌入在平面上,使得每条边最多被交叉1次,则称其为1-可平面图,该平面嵌入称为1-平面图.由于1-平面图G中的交叉点是图G的某两条边交叉产生的,故图G中的每个交叉点c都可以与图G中的四个顶点(即产生c的两条交叉边所关联的四个顶点)所构成的点集建立对应关系,称这个对应关系为θ.对于1-平面图G中任何两个不同的交叉点c_1与c_2(如果存在的话),如果|θ(c_1)∩θ(c_2)|≤1,则称图G是NIC-平面图;如果|θ(c_1)∩θ(c_2)|=0,即θ(c_1)∩θ(c_2)=?,则称图G是IC-平面图.如果图G可以嵌入在平面上,使得其所有顶点都分布在图G的外部面上,并且每条边最多被交叉一次,则称图G为外1-可平面图.满足上述条件的外1-可平面图的平面嵌入称为外1-平面图.现主要介绍关于以上四类图在染色方面的结果.     

The structure of 1-planar graphs

A graph is called 1-planar if it can be drawn in the plane so that each its edge is crossed by at most one other edge. In the paper, we study the existence of subgraphs of bounded degrees in 1-planar graphs. It is shown that each 1-planar graph contains a vertex of degree at most 7; we also prove that each 3-connected 1-planar graph contains an edge with both endvertices of degrees at most 20, and we present similar results concerning bigger structures in 1-planar graphs with additional constraints.     

The height of a 4-cycle in triangle-free 1-planar graphs with minimum degree 5

A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn on the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. It is known that each 1-planar graph has a vertex of degree at most 7, and also either a vertex of degree at most 4 or a cycle of length at most 4. In the article, it is proven that each triangle-free 1-planar graph of degree less than 5 has a 4-cycle that consists of vertices of degree at most 8.

List edge and list total coloring of 1-planar graphs

A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn on the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. In this paper, it is proved that each 1-planar graph with maximum degree ?? is (??+1)-edge-choosable and (??+2)-total-choosable if ?? ? 16, and is ??-edge-choosable and (??+1)-total-choosable if ?? ? 21. The second conclusion confirms the list coloring conjecture for the class of 1-planar graphs with large maximum degree.
