Abstract

Some of the early questions concerning the maximum genus of a graph have now been answered. In this paper we survey the progress made on such problems and present some recent results, outlining proofs for some of the major theorems.

It is proved that every connected simplicial graph with minimum valence at least three has maximum genus at least one-quarter of its cycle rank. This follows from the technical result that every 3-regular simplicial graph except K4 has a Xuong co-tree whose odd components have only one edge each. It

The maximum genus of all vertex-transitive graphs is computed. It is proved that a k-valent vertex-transitive graph of girth g is upper-embeddable whenever k 3 4 or g 2 4. Non-upper-embeddable vertex-transitive graphs are characterized. A particular attention is paid to Cayley graphs. Groups for wh

Skoviera, M., The maximum genus of graphs of diameter two, Discrete Mathematics 87 (1991) 175-180. Let G be a (finite) graph of diameter two. We prove that if G is loopless then it is upper embeddable, i.e. the maximum genus y,&G) equals [fi(G)/Z], where /3(G) = IF(G)1 -IV(G)1 + 1 is the Betti numbe

This paper shows that a simple graph which can be cellularly embedded on some closed surface in such a way that the size of each face does not exceed 7 is upper embeddable. This settles one of two conjectures posed by Nedela and S8 koviera (1990, in ``Topics in Combinatorics and Graph Theory,'' pp.

The interval number of a graph G, denoted i(G), is the least positive integer t such that G is the intersection graph of sets, each of which is the union of t compact real intervals. It is known that every planar graph has interval number at most 3 and that this result is best possible. We investiga
