چکیده

We consider the problem of determining the maximum and the minimum number of upward planar orientations a maximal planar graph can have. We show that n-vertex maximal planar graphs have at least Ω(n · 1.189) and at most O(n · 4) upward planar orientations. Moreover, there exist n-vertex maximal planar graphs having as few as O(n · 2) upward planar orientations and n-vertex maximal planar graphs having Ω(2.599) upward planar orientations.

Upward Embeddings and Orientations of Undirected Planar Graphs

An upward embedding of an embedded planar graph specifies, for each vertex v, which edges are incident on v “above” or “below” and, in turn, induces an upward orientation of the edges from bottom to top. In this paper we characterize the set of all upward embeddings and orientations of an embedded planar graph by using a simple flow model, which is related to that described by Bousset [3] to ch...

On 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...

On topological aspects of orientations

1. Introduction Constrained orientations, that is orientations such that all the vertices have a prescribed indegree, relates to one another many combinatorial and topological properties such as arboricity, connectivity and planarity. These orientations are the basic tool to solve planar augmentation problems 2]. We are concerned with two classes of planar graphs: maximal planar graphs (i.e. po...

On the Page Number of Upward Planar Directed Acyclic Graphs

In this paper we study the page number of upward planar directed acyclic graphs. We prove that: (1) the page number of any n-vertex upward planar triangulation G whose every maximal 4-connected component has page number k is at most min{O(k logn), O(2)}; (2) every upward planar triangulation G with o( n logn ) diameter has o(n) page number; and (3) every upward planar triangulation has a vertex...

$n$-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.
