Research Abstract |
From an arrangement of points on the plane, we construct a tree joining points by straight line segments, then We call the resulting tree a geometric tree of the arrangement of points. We gave an upper bound on the crossing number of three geometric trees in terms of n each vertex set of which is the subset of each color points sets of a given arrangement of n points with three colors. For a vertex x of a tree, the number of leafs adjacent with x is called the leaf degree of x. We gave a necessary and sufficient condition for a connected graph to have a spanning tree whose maximum leaf degree is not exceed a given number. We showed that if both a graph and its complement are contraction critically κ-connected, then the square of its order is not exceed κ^3, also we showed the sharpness of this bound. An edge e of a 5-connected graph is called trivially noncontractible if there is a vertex of degree 5 which is adjacent, with both end vertices of e. We showed that a contraction critically 5-connected graph of order n has at least n/2 trivially noncontractible edges. We proved that a 4-connected graph with m vertices of degree greater than 4 has at least m 4-contractible edges.
