A New Algorithm for Embedding Plane Graphs at Fixed Vertex Locations

We show that a plane graph can be embedded with its vertices at arbitrarily assigned locations in the plane and at most $6n-1$ bends per edge. This improves and simplifies a classic result by Pach and Wenger. The proof extends to orthogonal drawings.

On the structure of the planar subgraphs of obstruction graphs of a nonorientable surface with a given genus

The problem of studying the structure of planar graphs with sets of points, which should be critical concerning the distance between cells on the boundaries of which the elements of a given set are located in operations of removing vertices or edges of a graph, is considered. Knowing the structure of these planar graphs, it is possible to construct a finite set of planar graphs with given characteristics required for the construction of obstruction graphs of a given nonorientable genus. The main result is to use the constructed list of plane graphs critical concerning distance 2 to construct obstruction graphs of a given nonorientable genus.

Total Face Irregularity Strength of Grid and Wheel Graph under K-Labeling of Type (1, 1, 0)

In this study, we used grids and wheel graphs G = V , E , F , which are simple, finite, plane, and undirected graphs with V as the vertex set, E as the edge set, and F as the face set. The article addresses the problem to find the face irregularity strength of some families of generalized plane graphs under k -labeling of type α , β , γ . In this labeling, a graph is assigning positive integers to graph vertices, graph edges, or graph faces. A minimum integer k for which a total label of all verteices and edges of a plane graph has distinct face weights is called k -labeling of a graph. The integer k is named as total face irregularity strength of the graph and denoted as tfs G . We also discussed a special case of total face irregularity strength of plane graphs under k -labeling of type (1, 1, 0). The results will be verified by using figures and examples.

On the Circumference of 3-Connected Cubic Triangle-Free Plane Graphs

The circumference of a graph G is the length of a longest cycle in G , denoted by cir G . For any even number n , let c n = min { cir G | G is a 3-connected cubic triangle-free plane graph with n vertices}. In this paper, we show that an upper bound of c n is n + 1 − 3 ⌊ n / 136 ⌋ for n ≥ 136 .

Facial Homogeneous Colouring of Graphs

A proper colouring of a plane graph G is called facially homogeneous if it uses the same number of colours for every face of G. We study various sufficient conditions of facial homogeneous colourability of plane graphs, its relation to other facial colourings, and the extension of this concept for embedded graphs in general.
