The Crossing Number
نویسنده
چکیده
We define the crossing number, a natural invariant in topological graph theory, and survey general results on the crossing number in the Euclidean plane. We also discuss progress on conjectures for two particular cases: complete bipartite graphs and complete graphs. Finally, we show some applications of the crossing number to problems in incidence geometry and VLSI chip design.

METAHEURISTIC ALGORITHMS FOR MINIMUM CROSSING NUMBER PROBLEM
This paper presents the application of metaheuristic methods to the minimum crossing number problem for the first time. These algorithms including particle swarm optimization, improved ray optimization, colliding bodies optimization and enhanced colliding bodies optimization. For each method, a pseudo code is provided. The crossing number problem is NP-hard and has important applications in eng...
متن کاملMETA-HEURISTIC ALGORITHMS FOR MINIMIZING THE NUMBER OF CROSSING OF COMPLETE GRAPHS AND COMPLETE BIPARTITE GRAPHS
The minimum crossing number problem is among the oldest and most fundamental problems arising in the area of automatic graph drawing. In this paper, eight population-based meta-heuristic algorithms are utilized to tackle the minimum crossing number problem for two special types of graphs, namely complete graphs and complete bipartite graphs. A 2-page book drawing representation is employed for ...
متن کاملStudy of the Safe Behavior in Road Crossing Using the Theory of Planned Behavior among Middle School Students
Background Given that school-age students, as active road users, are more vulnerable to injury compared with other pedestrians, a large number of them, following an injury, may either fail to go to school at least for a short time or even suffer from disabilities for the rest of their lives. The aim of this study was to determine safe behavior in road crossing using the theory of planned behavi...
متن کاملVariation analysis of wheat F3 lines produced by crossing between Azar2 and 87-Zhong291 cultivars using RAPD method in drought stress condition
In order to analyze variation and find an efficient selection approach, we used crossing results between two wheat cultivars, Azar2 and 87-Zhong291. F3 plants (374 lines) and four check cultivars planted in the form of augmented experiment. For germination, seeds were irrigated once. After using multiple statistics methods such as cluster analysis, 79 different lines were selected and used for ...
متن کاملA Study of Pedestrian Movement on Crosswalks Based on Chaos Theory
Walking, as an important transportation mode, plays a large part in urban transportation systems. This mode is of great importance for planners and decision-makers because of its impact on environmental and health aspects of communities. However, this mode is so complex in nature that makes it difficult to study or model. On the other hand, chaos theory studies complex dynamical nonlinear syste...
متن کاملIdentification of Drought Tolerant Lines from Interspecific Hybridization in Two Different Genetic Backgrounds of Barley under Different Irrigation Regimes
Domestication and artificial selection have reduced the level of genetic variation in barley. Inter-specific hybridization is one of the most valuable ways to restore at least part of the lost variation. This study aimed to investigate genetic diversity and screening barley lines which possessed the desired traits, as well as drought tolerance, within two F3 populations derived by crossing a cu...
