Abstract

AbstractLet K(x1, x2, ⃛, xn) be a graph without loops or multiple edges, the complement of which consists of n disjoint complete graphs of x1, x2, ⃛, xn vertices. In this paper a class of mappings of K(x1, ⃛, xn) onto the Euclidean plane is described. The minimum number of intersection points of edges for these mappings is determined. This number also involves an upper bound for the so‐called crossing number cr(x1, ⃛, xn), being the minimum number of intersection points of edges for all mappings of K(x1, ⃛, xn) onto the Euclidean plane (see (28)). Equality in (28) is conjectured.
