Abstract

It is proved that every 3-connected loopless multigraph has maximum genus at least one-third of its cycle rank plus one if its cycle rank is not less than ten, and if its cycle rank is less than ten, it is upper-embeddable. This lower bound is tight. There are infinitely many 3-connected loopless multigraphs attaining this bound.
