چکیده

A wheel is a graph formed by a chordless cycle C and a vertex u not in C that has at least three neighbors in C. We prove that every 3-connected planar graph that does not contain a wheel as an induced subgraph is either a line graph or has a clique cutset. We prove that every planar graph that does not contain a wheel as an induced subgraph is 3-colorable.

A non-planar version of Tutte's wheels theorem

Thtte's Wheels Theorem states that a minimally 3-connected non-wheel graph G with at least four vertices contains at least one edge e such that the contraction of e from G produces a graph which is both 3-connected and simple. The edge e is said to be non-essential. We show that a minimally 3-connected graph which is non-planar contains at least six non-essential edges. The wheel graphs are the...

Untangling planar graphs from a specified vertex position - Hard cases

Given a planar graph G, we consider drawings of G in the plane where edges are represented by straight line segments (which possibly intersect). Such a drawing is specified by an injective embedding π of the vertex set of G into the plane. Let fix(G, π) be the maximum integer k such that there exists a crossing-free redrawing π of G which keeps k vertices fixed, i.e., there exist k vertices v1,...

On the chromatic number of wheel-free graphs with no large bipartite graphs

A wheel is an induced cycle C plus a vertex connected to at least three vertices of C. Trotignon [14] asked if the class of wheel-free graphs is χ-bounded, i.e. if the chromatic number of every graph with no induced copy of a wheel is bounded by a function of its maximal clique. In this paper, we prove a weaker statement: for every `, the class of graphs with no induced wheel and no induced K`,...

$n$-Array Jacobson graphs

We generalize the notion of Jacobson graphs into $n$-array columns called $n$-array Jacobson graphs and determine their connectivities and diameters. Also, we will study forbidden structures of these graphs and determine when an $n$-array Jacobson graph is planar, outer planar, projective, perfect or domination perfect.

Simultaneous Drawing of Planar Graphs with Right-Angle Crossings and Few Bends

Given two planar graphs that are defined on the same set of vertices, a RAC simultaneous drawing is a drawing of the two graphs where each graph is drawn planar, no two edges overlap, and edges of one graph can cross edges of the other graph only at right angles. In the geometric version of the problem, vertices are drawn as points and edges as straight-line segments. It is known, however, that...
