New Bounds on the Maximum Number of Edges in k-Quasi-Planar Graphs

چکیده
A topological graph is k-quasi-planar if it does not contain k pairwise crossing edges. An old conjecture states that for every fixed k, the maximum number of edges in a k-quasi-planar graph on n vertices is O(n). Fox and Pach showed that every kquasi-planar graph with n vertices and no pair of edges intersecting in more than O(1) points has at most n( log n log k ) k) edges. We improve this upper bound to 2 c n log n, where α(n) denotes the inverse Ackermann function, and c depends only on k. We also show that every k-quasi-planar graph with n vertices and every two edges have at most one point in common has at most O(n log n) edges. This improves the previously known upper bound of 2 c n log n obtained by Fox, Pach, and Suk.

On the signed Roman edge k-domination in graphs
Let $kgeq 1$ be an integer, and $G=(V,E)$ be a finite and simplegraph. The closed neighborhood $N_G[e]$ of an edge $e$ in a graph$G$ is the set consisting of $e$ and all edges having a commonend-vertex with $e$. A signed Roman edge $k$-dominating function(SREkDF) on a graph $G$ is a function $f:E rightarrow{-1,1,2}$ satisfying the conditions that (i) for every edge $e$of $G$, $sum _{xin N[e]} f...
متن کاملOn the maximum number of edges in quasi-planar graphs
A topological graph is quasi-planar, if it does not contain three pairwise crossing edges. Agarwal et al. [2] proved that these graphs have a linear number of edges. We give a simple proof for this fact that yields the better upper bound of 8n edges for n vertices. Our best construction with 7n−O(1) edges comes very close to this bound. Moreover, we show matching upper and lower bounds for seve...
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 کاملThe number of edges in k-quasi-planar graphs
A graph drawn in the plane is called k-quasi-planar if it does not contain k pairwise crossing edges. It has been conjectured for a long time that for every fixed k, the maximum number of edges of a k-quasi-planar graph with n vertices is O(n). The best known upper bound is n(logn) . In the present note, we improve this bound to (n logn)2 c k (n) in the special case where the graph is drawn in ...
متن کاملQuasi-Planar Graphs Have a Linear Number of Edges
A graph is called quasi-planar if it can be drawn in the plane so that no three of its edges are pairwise crossing. It is shown that the maximum number of edges of a quasi-planar graph with n vertices is O(n).
