Abstract:Let G be a topological graph with n vertices, i.e., a graph drawn in the plane with edges drawn as simple Jordan curves. It is shown that, for any constants k,l, there exists another constant C(k,l), such that if G has at least C(k,l)n edges, then it contains a k×l-gridlike configuration, that is, it contains k+l edges such that each of the first k edges crosses each of the last l edges. Moreover, one can require the first k edges to be incident to the same vertex.
