On the null space of a Colin de Verdière matrix
Let G = (V, E) be a 3-connected planar graph, with V = {1, . . . , n}. Let M = (mi,j) be a symmetric n×n matrix with exactly one negative eigenvalue (of multiplicity 1), such that for i, j with i 6= j, if i and j are adjacent then mi,j < 0 and if i and j are nonadjacent then mi,j = 0, and such that M has rank n− 3. Then the null space ker M of M gives an embedding of G in S as follows: Let a, b...
متن کاملSteinitz Representations of Polyhedra and the Colin de Verdière Number
We show that the Steinitz representations of 3-connected planar graphs are correspond, in a well described way, to Colin de Verdière matrices of such graphs.
متن کاملSphere Representations, Stacked Polytopes, and the Colin de Verdière Number of a Graph
We prove that a k-tree can be viewed as a subgraph of a special type of (k + 1)-tree that corresponds to a stacked polytope and that these “stacked” (k + 1)-trees admit representations by orthogonal spheres in Rk+1. As a result, we derive lower bounds for Colin de Verdière’s μ of complements of partial k-trees and prove that μ(G) + μ(G) ≥ |G| − 2 for all chordal G. Yves Colin de Verdière’s grap...
متن کاملThe Colin de Verdière Number and Sphere Representations of a Graph
Colin de Verdi ere introduced an interesting linear algebraic invariant (G) of graphs. He proved that (G) 2 if and only if G is outerplanar, and (G) 3 if and only if G is planar. We prove that if the complement of a graph G on n nodes is outerplanar, then (G) n ? 4, and if it is planar, then (G) n ? 5. We give a full characterization of maximal planar graphs with (G) = n ? 5. In the opposite di...
متن کاملNote on Nordhaus-Gaddum Problems for Colin de Verdière type Parameters
We establish the bounds 43 6 bν 6 bξ 6 √ 2, where bν and bξ are the NordhausGaddum sum upper bound multipliers, i.e., ν(G)+ν(G) 6 bν |G| and ξ(G)+ξ(G) 6 bξ|G| for all graphs G, and ν and ξ are Colin de Verdière type graph parameters. The Nordhaus-Gaddum sum lower bound for ν and ξ is conjectured to be |G| − 2, and if these parameters are replaced by the maximum nullity M(G), this bound is calle...
