Given a rigid realisation of a graph $G$ in ${mathbb R}^2$, it is an open problem to determine the maximum number of pairwise non-congruent realisations which have the same edge lengths as the given realisation. This problem can be restated as finding the number of solutions of a related system of quadratic equations and in this context it is natural to consider the number of solutions in ${mathbb C}^2$ rather that ${mathbb R}^2$. We show that the number of complex solutions, $c(G)$, is the same for all generic realisations of a rigid graph $G$, characterise the graphs $G$ for which $c(G)=1$, and show that the problem of determining $c(G)$ can be reduced to the case when $G$ is $3$-connected and has no non-trivial $3$-edge-cuts. We consider the effect of the Henneberg moves and the vertex-splitting operation on $c(G)$. We use our results to determine $c(G)$ exactly for two important families of graphs, and show that the graphs in both families have $c(G)$ pairwise equivalent generic real realisations. We also show that every planar isostatic graph on $n$ vertices has at least $2^{n-3}$ pairwise equivalent real realisations.
In 1982, Zaslavsky introduced the concept of a proper vertex colouring of a signed graph $G$ as a mapping $phicolon V(G)to mathbb{Z}$ such that for any two adjacent vertices $u$ and $v$ the colour $phi(u)$ is different from the colour $sigma(uv)phi(v
An edge-colored connected graph $G$ is properly connected if between every pair of distinct vertices, there exists a path that no two adjacent edges have a same color. Fujita (2019) introduced the optimal proper connection number ${mathrm{pc}_{mathrm
It is known that the cop number $c(G)$ of a connected graph $G$ can be bounded as a function of the genus of the graph $g(G)$. The best known bound, that $c(G) leq leftlfloor frac{3 g(G)}{2}rightrfloor + 3$, was given by Schr{o}der, who conjectured t
Hakimi and Schmeichel determined a sharp lower bound for the number of cycles of length 4 in a maximal planar graph with $n$ vertices, $ngeq 5$. It has been shown that the bound is sharp for $n = 5,12$ and $ngeq 14$ vertices. However, it was only con
Let $f(n,H)$ denote the maximum number of copies of $H$ possible in an $n$-vertex planar graph. The function $f(n,H)$ has been determined when $H$ is a cycle of length $3$ or $4$ by Hakimi and Schmeichel and when $H$ is a complete bipartite graph wit
