On the Relationship Between k-Planar and k-Quasi-Planar Graphs

چکیده
A graph is k-planar (k ≥ 1) if it can be drawn in the plane such that no edge is crossed more than k times. A graph is k-quasi planar (k ≥ 2) if it can be drawn in the plane with no k pairwise crossing edges. The families of k-planar and k-quasi planar graphs have been widely studied in the literature, and several bounds have been proven on their edge density. Nonetheless, only trivial results are known about the relationship between these two graph families. In this paper we prove that, for k ≥ 3, every k-planar graph is (k + 1)-quasi planar.

Beyond Outerplanarity
We study straight-line drawings of graphs where the vertices are placed in convex position in the plane, i.e., convex drawings. We consider two families of graph classes with nice convex drawings: outer k-planar graphs, where each edge is crossed by at most k other edges; and, outer k-quasi-planar graphs where no k edges can mutually cross. We show that the outer k-planar graphs are (b √ 4k + 1...
متن کاملRelative non-Normal Graphs of a Subgroup of Finite Groups
Let G be a finite group and H,K be two subgroups of G. We introduce the relative non-normal graph of K with respect to H , denoted by NH,K, which is a bipartite graph with vertex sets HHK and KNK(H) and two vertices x ∈ H HK and y ∈ K NK(H) are adjacent if xy / ∈ H, where HK =Tk∈K Hk and NK(H) = {k ∈ K : Hk = H}. We determined some numerical invariants and state that when this graph is planar or...
متن کاملk-Quasi-Planar Graphs
A topological graph is k-quasi-planar if it does not contain k pairwise crossing edges. A topological graph is simple if every pair of its edges intersect at most once (either at a vertex or at their intersection). In 1996, Pach, Shahrokhi, and Szegedy [16] showed that every n-vertex simple k-quasi-planar graph contains at most O ( n(logn) ) edges. This upper bound was recently improved (for la...
متن کاملOn the M-polynomial of planar chemical graphs
Let $G$ be a graph and let $m_{i,j}(G)$, $i,jge 1$, be the number of edges $uv$ of $G$ such that ${d_v(G), d_u(G)} = {i,j}$. The $M$-polynomial of $G$ is $M(G;x,y) = sum_{ile j} m_{i,j}(G)x^iy^j$. With $M(G;x,y)$ in hands, numerous degree-based topological indices of $G$ can be routinely computed. In this note a formula for the $M$-polynomial of planar (chemical) graphs which have only vertices...
متن کاملh-Quasi Planar Drawings of Bounded Treewidth Graphs in Linear Area
We study the problem of computing h-quasi planar drawings in linear area; in an h-quasi planar drawing the number of mutually crossing edges is bounded by a constant h. We prove that every n-vertex partial k-tree admits a straight-line h-quasi planar drawing in O(n) area, where h depends on k but not on n. For specific sub-families of partial k-trees, we present ad-hoc algorithms that compute h...
