The crossing number cr ( G ) of a graph G is the minimum number of edge crossings over all drawings of G in the plane. The main goal of the paper is to state the crossing number of the join product K 2 , 3 + C n for the complete bipartite graph K 2 , 3 , where C n is the cycle on n vertices. In the proofs, the idea of a minimum number of crossings between two distinct configurations in the various forms of arithmetic means will be extended. Finally, adding one more edge to the graph K 2 , 3 , we also offer the crossing number of the join product of one other graph with the cycle C n .

The best lower bound known on the crossing number of the complete bipartite graph is : $$cr(K_{m,n}) \geq (1/5)(m)(m-1)\lfloor n/2 \rfloor \lfloor(n-1)/2\rfloor$$ In this paper we prove that: $$cr(K_{m,n}) \geq (1/5)m(m-1)\lfloor n/2 \rfloor \lfloor (n-1)/2 \rfloor + 9.9 \times 10^{-6} m^2n^2$$ for sufficiently large $m$ and $n$.

AbstractThe crossing number of a graph G is the minimum number of edge crossings over all drawings of G in the plane. A graph G is k-crossing-critical if its crossing number is at least k, but if we remove any edge of G, its crossing number drops below k. There are examples of k-crossing-critical graphs that do not have drawings with exactly k crossings. Richter and Thomassen proved in 1993 that if G is k-crossing-critical, then its crossing number is at most $$2.5\, k+16$$ 2.5 k + 16 . We improve this bound to $$2k+8\sqrt{k}+47$$ 2 k + 8 k + 47 .

A linear k-forest of an undirected graph G is a subgraph of G whose components are paths with lengths at most k. The linear k-arboricity of G, denote by lak(G), is the minimum number of linear k-forests needed to partition the edge set E(G) of G. In the case where the lengths of paths are not restricted, we then have the linear arboricity of G which is denoted by la(G). In this paper, we obtain some results about the linear 6-arboricity of the complete bipartite graph Km,n.

The crossing number of a graph G is the minimum number of edge crossings over all drawings of G in the plane. The main purpose of this paper is to determine the crossing numbers of the join products of six symmetric graphs on six vertices with paths and cycles on n vertices. The idea of configurations is generalized for the first time onto the family of subgraphs whose edges cross the edges of the considered graph at most once, and their lower bounds of necessary numbers of crossings are presented in the common symmetric table. Some proofs of the join products with cycles are done with the help of several well-known auxiliary statements, the idea of which is extended by a suitable classification of subgraphs that do not cross the edges of the examined graphs.

A linear k-forest of an undirected graph G is a subgraph of G whose components are paths with lengths at most k. The linear k-arboricity of G, denoted by lak(G), is the minimum number of linear k-forests needed to decompose G. In case the lengths of paths are not restricted, we then have the linear arboricity of G, denoted by la(G). In this paper, the exact value of the linear 2- and 4-arboricity of complete bipartite graph Km,n for some m and n is obtained.

The crossing number \(\mathrm{cr}(G)\) of a graph \(G\) is the minimum number of edge crossings over all drawings of \(G\) in the plane. The main aim of the paper is to give the crossing number of the join product \(W_4+P_n\) and \(W_4+C_n\) for the wheel \(W_4\) on five vertices, where \(P_n\) and \(C_n\) are the path and the cycle on \(n\) vertices, respectively. Yue et al. conjectured that the crossing number of \(W_m+C_n\) is equal to \(Z(m+1)Z(n)+(Z(m)-1) \big \lfloor \frac{n}{2} \big \rfloor + n+ \big\lceil\frac{m}{2}\big\rceil +2\), for all \(m,n \geq 3\), and where the Zarankiewicz's number \(Z(n)=\big \lfloor \frac{n}{2} \big \rfloor \big \lfloor \frac{n-1}{2} \big \rfloor\) is defined for \(n\geq 1\). Recently, this conjecture was proved for \(W_3+C_n\) by Klešč. We establish the validity of this conjecture for \(W_4+C_n\) and we also offer a new conjecture for the crossing number of the join product \(W_m+P_n\) for \(m\geq 3\) and \(n\geq 2\).

The rectilinear crossing number of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of edge crossings that can occur in any drawing of $G$ in which the edges are straight line segments and no three vertices are collinear. This number has been known for $G=K_n$ if $n \leq 9$. Using a combinatorial argument we show that for $n=10$ the number is 62.

Erdős, Rubin, and Taylor found a nice correspondence between the minimum order of a complete bipartite graph that is not $r$-choosable and the minimum number of edges in an $r$-uniform hypergraph that is not $2$-colorable (in the ordinary sense). In this note we use their ideas to derive similar correspondences for complete $k$-partite graphs and complete $k$-uniform $k$-partite hypergraphs.
