✦ Synopsis


A graph is crossing-critical if deleting any edge decreases its crossing number on the plane. For any n >I 2 we present a construction of an infinite family of 3-connected crossing-critical graphs with crossing number n.

## Abstract The structure of previous known infinite families of crossing‐critical graphs had led to the conjecture that crossing‐critical graphs have bounded bandwidth. If true, this would imply that crossing‐critical graphs have bounded degree, that is, that they cannot contain subdivisions of __

## Abstract We find a lower bound for the proportion of face boundaries of an embedded graph that are nearly light (that is, they have bounded length and at most one vertex of large degree). As an application, we show that every sufficiently large __k__‐crossing‐critical graph has crossing number a

For every k ≥ 4 there exists a k-critical graph that is not Hajós-kconstructible through a sequence of k-critical graphs. This completely answers a question of G. Hajós, which has been answered previously only for k = 8 with an example given by P. Catlin. Also the corresponding problem for Ore's con
