The nonorientable genus of joins of complete graphs with large edgeless graphs

MN Ellingham, DC Stephens - Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series B, 2007 - Elsevier
We show that for n= 4 and n⩾ 6, Kn has a nonorientable embedding in which all the facial
walks are hamilton cycles. Moreover, when n is odd there is such an embedding that is 2 …

Jungerman ladders and index 2 constructions for genus embeddings of dense regular graphs

T Sun - arXiv preprint arXiv:1911.05214, 2019 - arxiv.org
We construct several families of minimum genus embeddings of dense graphs using index 2
current graphs. In particular, we complete the genus formula for the octahedral graphs …

[PDF][PDF] On the connectivity of graphs embedded in surfaces II

MD Plummer, X Zha - the electronic journal of combinatorics, 2002 - emis.de
Abstract Let $\kappa_ {max}(\Sigma) $ denote the maximum value for the connectivity of any
graph which embeds in the topological surface $\Sigma $. The connectivity interval for …

On Kainen's conjectures on surface crossing numbers

T Sun - arXiv preprint arXiv:2405.06118, 2024 - arxiv.org
In 1972, Kainen proved a general lower bound on the crossing number of a graph in a
closed surface and conjectured that this bound is tight when the graph is either a complete …
