关于非简单3-平面图的密度

On the Density of non-Simple 3-Planar Graphs

Michael A. Bekos, Michael Kaufmann, Chrysanthi N. Raftopoulou

摘要:

\emph{$k$-planar graph}是可以在平面中绘制的图形,使得每条边最多交叉$k$次。对于$k \leq 4$,Pach和Tóth证明了$(k+3)(n-2)$关于$k$ -平面图的边总数的一个界,该界对于$k=1,2$是紧的.对于$k=3$,$6n-12$的界已被改进为$\frac{11}{2}n-11$,并已被证明是最佳的简单图的添加剂常数。在本文中,我们证明了$\frac{11}{2}n-11$边的界也适用于非简单的$3$ -平面图,其中允许非同伦平行边和自环。基于这个结果,\emph{optimal $3$-planar graphs}(即,具有$n$顶点和恰好$\frac{11}{2}n-11$边的$3$ -平面图)的特征可能是可能的,因为据我们所知,已知的简单$3$ -平面图不是最优的。

英文摘要:

A \emph{$k$-planar graph} is a graph that can be drawn in the plane such that every edge is crossed at most $k$ times. For $k \leq 4$, Pach and Tóth proved a bound of $(k+3)(n-2)$ on the total number of edges of a $k$-planar graph, which is tight for $k=1,2$. For $k=3$, the bound of $6n-12$ has been improved to $\frac{11}{2}n-11$ and has been shown to be optimal up to an additive constant for simple graphs. In this paper, we prove that the bound of $\frac{11}{2}n-11$ edges also holds for non-simple $3$-planar graphs that admit drawings in which non-homotopic parallel edges and self-loops are allowed. Based on this result, a characterization of \emph{optimal $3$-planar graphs} (that is, $3$-planar graphs with $n$ vertices and exactly $\frac{11}{2}n-11$ edges) might be possible, as to the best of our knowledge the densest known simple $3$-planar is not known to be optimal.
