Abstract
Let G be a 3βconnected planar graph and G^*^ be its dual. We show that the pathwidth of G^*^ is at most 6 times the pathwidth of G. We prove this result by relating the pathwidth of a graph with the cutβwidth of its medial graph and we extend it to bounded genus embeddings. We also show that there exist 3βconnected planar graphs such that the pathwidth of such a graph is at least 1.5 times the pathwidth of its dual. Β© 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In a 1973 paper, Cooke obtained an upper bound on the possible connectivity of a graph embedded in a surface (orientable or nonorientable) of fixed genus. Furthermore, he claimed that for each orientable genus #>0 (respectively, nonorientable genus #Γ >0, #Γ {2) there is a complete graph of orientab
In this paper we show that any maximal planar graph with m triangles except the unbounded face can be transformed into a straight-line embedding in which at least WmΓ3X triangles are acute triangles. Moreover, we show that any maximal outerplanar graph can be transformed into a straight-line embeddi
