β¦ Synopsis
The pagenumber p(G) of a graph G is defined as the smallest n such that G can be embedded in a book with n pages. We give an upper bound for the pagenumber of the complete bipartite graph K m, n . Among other things, we prove p(K n, n ) w2nΓ3x+1 and p(K wn 2 Γ4x, n ) n&1. We also give an asymptotic result: min[m : p(K m, n )=n]=n 2 Γ4+O(n 7Γ4 ).

## Abstract Given a graph __G__, for each Ο β__V__(__G__) let __L__(Ο ) be a list assignment to __G__. The wellβknown choice number __c__(__G__) is the least integer __j__ such that if |__L__(Ο )| β₯__j__ for all Ο β__V__(__G__), then __G__ has a proper vertex colouring Ο with Ο(Ο ) β __L__ (Ο ) (βΟ β__
## Abstract In this paper, it will be shown that the isomorphism classes of regular orientable embeddings of the complete bipartite graph __K__~__n,n__~ are in oneβtoβone correspondence with the permutations on __n__ elements satisfying a given criterion, and the isomorphism classes of them are com
A p-intersection representation of a graph G is a map, f, that assigns each vertex a subset of [1, 2, ..., t] The symbol % p (G) denotes this minimum t such that a p-intersection representation of G exists. In 1966 Erdo s, Goodman, and Po sa showed that for all graphs G on 2n vertices, % 1 (G) % 1
## Abstract We show that the following problem is __NP__ complete: Let __G__ be a cubic bipartite graph and __f__ be a precoloring of a subset of edges of __G__ using at most three colors. Can __f__ be extended to a proper edge 3βcoloring of the entire graph __G__? This result provides a natural co
## Abstract Let __K(p, q), p β€ q__, denote the complete bipartite graph in which the two partite sets consist of __p__ and __q__ vertices, respectively. In this paper, we prove that (1) the graph __K(p, q)__ is chromatically unique if __p__ β₯ 2; and (2) the graph __K(p, q)__ β __e__ obtained by del
