Abstract

top
The basis number of a graph G was defined by Schmeichel to be the least integer h such that G has an h -fold basis for its cycle space. He proved that for m , n 5 , the basis number b ( K m , n ) of the complete bipartite graph K m , n is equal to 4 except for K 6 , 10 , K 5 , n and K 6 , n with n = 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 . We determine the basis number of some particular non-planar graphs such as K 5 , n and K 6 , n , n = 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , and r -cages for r = 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , and the Robertson graph.
