The edge-vertex inequality in a planar graph and a bipartition for the class of all planar graphs


الملخص بالإنكليزية

For a planar graph with a given f-vector $(f_{0}, f_{1}, f_{2}),$ we introduce a cubic polynomial whose coefficients depend on the f-vector. The planar graph is said to be real if all the roots of the corresponding polynomial are real. Thus we have a bipartition of all planar graphs into two disjoint class of graphs, real and complex ones. As a contribution toward a full recognition of planar graphs in this bipartition, we study and recognize completely a subclass of planar graphs that includes all the connected grid subgraphs. Finally, all the 2-connected triangle-free complex planar graphs of 7 vertices are listed.
