✦ Synopsis
A book embedding of a graph consists of a linear ordering of the vertices along the spine of a book and an assignment of edges to pages so that edges residing on the same page do not intersect. The minimum number of pages in which a graph can be embedded is its pagenumber. We verify a conjecture due to Heath and Istrail which asserts that any graph of genus (g) has pagenumber (O(\sqrt{g})). This bound is optimal in the worst case. A randomized algorithm to embed a genus (g) graph in (O(\sqrt{g})) pages is presented. 1994 Academic Press, Inc.

We give sufficient conditions for a graph to have a (g,f)-factor. For example, we prove that a graph G has a (g,f)-factor if g(v) < f(v) for all vertices v of G and g(x)/deg~(x) <~ f(y)/deg~(y) for all adjacent vertices x and y of G.

Let G be a graph with vertex set V and let g, f : V Ä Z + . We say that G has all ( g, f )-factors if G has an h-factor for every h: V Ä Z + such that g(v) h(v) f (v) for every v # V and at least one such h exists. In this note, we derive from Tutte's f-factor theorem a similar characterization for
