β¦ Synopsis
A short proof is given of the fact that every graph has an interval representation of depth 2 in which each vertex u is represented by at most &f(u) + 11 intervals, except for an arbitrarily specified vertex w that appears left-most in the representation and is represented by at most [&d(w) + 1)1 intervals.

Let ~1(S) be the maximum chromatic number for all graphs which can be drawn on a surface S so that each edge is crossed over by no more than one other edge. In the previous paper the author has proved that F(S) -34 ~< ~1(S), where F(S) = [\_Β½(9 + ~/(81 -32E(S))).J is Ringel's upper bound for xl(S) a
The interval number of a graph G, denoted by i(G), is the least natural number t such that G is the intersection graph of sets, each of which is the union of at most t intervals. Here we settle a conjecture of Griggs and West about bounding i(G) in terms of e, that is, the number of edges in G. Name
We investigate the exceptional set E $ (X, h) associated with the asymptotic formula for the number of primes in short intervals; see Section 1 for the definition. We first obtain two results about the basic structure of this set, proving the inertia and decrease properties; see Theorem 1. Then we t
The upper bound on the interval number of a graph in terms of its number of edges is improved. Also, the interval number of graphs in hereditary classes is bounded in terms of the vertex degrees. A representation of a graph as an intersection graph assigns each vertex a set such that vertices are a
## Abstract There are two versions of the Proper Iteration Lemma. The stronger (but less wellβknown) version can be used to give simpler proofs of iteration theorems (e.g., [7, Lemma 24] versus [9, Theorem IX.4.7]). In this paper we give another demonstration of the fecundity of the stronger versio
