The evolution of uniform random planar graphs.
The end compactification |Γ| of a locally finite graph Γis the union of the graph and its ends, endowed with a suitable topology. We show that π₁(|Γ|) embeds into a nonstandard free group with hyperfinitely many generators, i.e. an ultraproduct of finitely generated free groups, and that the embedding we construct factors through an embedding into an inverse limit of free groups. We also show how to recover the standard description of π₁(|Γ|) given by Diestel and Sprüssel (2011). Finally, we give...
We study the homotopy invariants of free cochain complexes and Hilbert complexes. These invariants are applied to calculation of exact values of Morse numbers of smooth manifolds.
The linear arboricity la(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of linear forests which partition the edges of G. An and Wu introduce the notion of list linear arboricity lla(G) of a graph G and conjecture that lla(G) = la(G) for any graph G. We confirm that this conjecture is true for any planar graph having Δ ≥ 13, or for any planar graph with Δ ≥ 7 and without i-cycles for some i ∈ {3,4,5}. We also prove that ⌈½Δ(G)⌉ ≤ lla(G) ≤ ⌈½(Δ(G)+1)⌉ for any planar graph having Δ ≥ 9.
In this paper we determine the maximum genus of a graph by using the matching number of the intersection graph of a basis of its cycle space. Our result is a common generalization of a theorem of Glukhov and a theorem of Nebeský .
