The crossing numbers of join of the special graph on six vertices with path and cycle

AbstractThere are only few results concerning crossing numbers of join of some graphs. In the paper, for the special graph H on six vertices we give the crossing numbers of its join with n isolated vertices as well as with the path Pn on n vertices and with the cycle Cn

The Crossing Numbers of Cartesian Products of Stars with 5-Vertex Graphs

In this paper, the crossing number of Cartesian products of a speci c 5-vertex graph with a star are given, and this lls up the crossing number list of Cartesian products of all 5-vertex graphs with stars (presented by Marian Klesc)

The Crossing Number of Two Cartesian Products

There are several known exact results on the crossing number of Cartesian products of paths, cycles, and complete graphs. In this paper, we find the crossing numbers of Cartesian products of Pn with two special 6-vertex graphs

Hypercellular graphs: partial cubes without Q3−Q_3^- as partial cube minor

We investigate the structure of isometric subgraphs of hypercubes (i.e., partial cubes) which do not contain finite convex subgraphs contractible to the 3-cube minus one vertex $Q^-_3$ (here contraction means contracting the edges corresponding to the same coordinate of the hypercube). Extending similar results for median and cellular graphs, we show that the convex hull of an isometric cycle of such a graph is gated and isomorphic to the Cartesian product of edges and even cycles. Furthermore, we show that our graphs are exactly the class of partial cubes in which any finite convex subgraph can be obtained from the Cartesian products of edges and even cycles via successive gated amalgams. This decomposition result enables us to establish a variety of results. In particular, it yields that our class of graphs generalizes median and cellular graphs, which motivates naming our graphs hypercellular. Furthermore, we show that hypercellular graphs are tope graphs of zonotopal complexes of oriented matroids. Finally, we characterize hypercellular graphs as being median-cell -- a property naturally generalizing the notion of median graphs.Comment: 35 pages, 6 figures, added example answering Question 1 from earlier draft (Figure 6.

Coherence for indexed symmetric monoidal categories

Indexed symmetric monoidal categories are an important refinement of bicategories -- this structure underlies several familiar bicategories, including the homotopy bicategory of parametrized spectra, and its equivariant and fiberwise generalizations. In this paper, we extend existing coherence theorems to the setting of indexed symmetric monoidal categories. The most central theorem states that a large family of operations on a bicategory defined from an indexed symmetric monoidal category are all canonically isomorphic. As a part of this theorem, we introduce a rigorous graphical calculus that specifies when two such operations admit a canonical isomorphism.Comment: 100 pages, 64 figures, 13 table
