An additivity theorem for the genus of a graph
1987
Journal of combinatorial theory. Series B (Print)
The main goal of this paper is to prove a new additivity theorem for the genus of a graph. The theorem is true only by making a natural modification to the definition of the genus of an embedding. ...
Thus, computing the genus of a graph reduces to computing the genus of its Zconnected subgraphs. The additivity theorem [2] can be restated in terms of amalgams. DEFINITION. ...

Approximation Algorithms via Structural Results for Apex-Minor-Free Graphs

2009
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The first is an additive approximation for coloring within 2 of the optimal chromatic number, which is essentially best possible, and generalizes the seminal result by Thomassen [32] for bounded-genus ...
We show that this structure theorem is a powerful tool for developing algorithms on apex-minor-free graphs, including for the classic problems of coloring and TSP. ...
We thank Paul Seymour for helpful suggestions and intuition about the structure of apex-minor-free graphs. ...

Upper-embeddable graphs and related topics

Journal of combinatorial theory. Series B (Print)
In this paper, we present different results concerning the structure of upperembeddable graphs. Various characterizations of graphs whose maximum genus satisfies additivity properties will be given. ...
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author is grateful to A. Bouchet and C. Payan for helpful discussions. ...
In general, such an additivity property is not true for maximum genus. In the sequel, necessary and sufficient conditions for maximum genus additivity will be presented. ...

The maximum genus γ_M(G) of a graph G is the largest genus of an orientable surface into which G has a cellular embedding. ...
This allows us to describe a greedy algorithm for the maximum genus of a graph; our algorithm returns an integer k such that γ_M(G)/2< k <γ_M(G), providing a simple method to efficiently approximate maximum ...

Minimal quadrangulations of surfaces
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
In this paper we determine n(Σ), the order of a minimal quadrangulation of a surface Σ, for all surfaces, both orientable and nonorientable. ...
A quadrangulation of Σ is minimal if there is no quadrangular embedding of a (simple) graph of smaller order in Σ. ...
The Euler characteristic of a surface Σ is denoted χ(Σ), which is 2 − 2g for S g , and 2 − q for N q . The Euler genus of Σ is defined as γ(Σ) = 2 − χ(Σ). ...

The maximum genus γ M (G) of a graph G is the largest genus of an orientable surface into which G has a cellular embedding. ...
In this paper we describe a greedy 2-approximation algorithm for maximum genus by proving that removing pairs of adjacent edges from G arbitrarily while retaining connectedness leads to at least γ M (G ...

Topological directions in Cops and Robbers

We survey results at the intersection of topological graph theory and the game of Cops and Robbers, focusing on results, conjectures, and open problems for the cop number of a graph embedded on a surface ...
After a discussion on results for planar graphs, we consider graphs of higher genus. In 2001, Schroeder conjectured that if a graph has genus g, then its cop number is at most g + 3. ...

Face distributions of embeddings of complete graphs
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
We exhibit such an embedding for each complete graph except K_8, the complete graph on 8 vertices, and we go on to prove that no such embedding can exist for this graph. ...
Our approach also solves a more general problem, giving a complete characterization of the possible face distributions (i.e. the numbers of faces of each length) realizable by minimum genus embeddings ...
The construction for Theorem 13.7 takes an embedding of K 2t+2 with two extra edges and glues it, without any additional augmentation, to a triangular embedding of another graph, so with the same construction ...
