Let G be a graph with n vertices and independence number . Hadwiger's conjecture implies that G contains a clique minor of order at least n/. In 1982, Duchet and Meyniel prov...
A nonplanar graph G is near-planar if it contains an edge e such that G−e is planar. The problem of determining the crossing number of a near-planar graph is exhibited from diffe...
The crossing number of a graph is the least number of pairwise edge crossings in a drawing of the graph in the plane. We provide an O(n log n) time constant factor approximation al...
A generalized configuration is a set of n points and n 2 pseudolines such that each pseudoline passes through exactly two points, two pseudolines intersect exactly once, and no th...
