Definition 43: If a graph is planar, so will be any graph obtained by omitted an edge u, vl and adding a new vertex w together with edges u, w) and ww, vg. Such an operation is called an elementary subdivision Definition 44: The graphS G(VE1 and G2=(V2,E2)are called homeomorphic if they can be obtained from the same graph by a sequence of elementary subdivisions
▪ Definition 43: If a graph is planar, so will be any graph obtained by omitted an edge {u,v} and adding a new vertex w together with edges {u,w} and {w,v}. Such an operation is called an elementary subdivision. ▪ Definition 44: The graphs G1=(V1 ,E1 ) and G2=(V2 ,E2 ) are called homeomorphic if they can be obtained from the same graph by a sequence of elementary subdivisions
Theorem 5.29: (1)IfG has a subgraph homeomorphic to Kn, then there exists at least n vertices with the degree more than or equal n (2)IfG has a subgraph homeomorphic to K then there exists at least 2n vertices with the degree more than or equal n. Example: Let G=(V,E), V=7. IfG has a subgraph homeomorphic to Ks, then G has not any subgraph homeomorphic to 3. 3 or
▪ Theorem 5.29: (1)If G has a subgraph homeomorphic to Kn , then there exists at least n vertices with the degree more than or equal n-1. ▪ (2) If G has a subgraph homeomorphic to Kn,n, then there exists at least 2n vertices with the degree more than or equal n. ▪ Example: Let G=(V,E)，|V|=7. If G has a subgraph homeomorphic to K5 , then has not any subgraph homeomorphic to K3.3 or K5 . G
Theorem 5.30: Kuratowski's Theorem (1930) a graph is planar if and only if it contains no subgraph that is homeomorphic of Ks or K3.3 (1)If G is a planar graph, then it contains no subgraph that is homeomorphic of K 5, and it contains no subgraph that is homeomorphic of K3.3 (2)If a graph g does contains no subgraph that is homeomorphic of ks and it contains no subgraph that is homeomorphic of K33 then g is a planar graph (3)If a graph g contains a subgraphs that is homeomorphic of Ks, then it is a nonplanar graph If a graph g contains a subgraph that is homeomorphic of K3.3, then it is a nonplanar graph. (4)If G is a nonplanar graph, then it contains a subgraph that is homeomorphic of Ks or K3.3
▪ Theorem 5.30: Kuratowski’s Theorem (1930). A graph is planar if and only if it contains no subgraph that is homeomorphic of K5 or K3,3. ▪ (1)If G is a planar graph, then it contains no subgraph that is homeomorphic of K5 , and it contains no subgraph that is homeomorphic of K3,3 ▪ (2)If a graph G does contains no subgraph that is homeomorphic of K5 and it contains no subgraph that is homeomorphic of K33 then G is a planar graph ▪ (3)If a graph G contains a subgraphs that is homeomorphic of K5 , then it is a nonplanar graph. If a graph G contains a subgraph that is homeomorphic of K3,3, then it is a nonplanar graph. ▪ (4)If G is a nonplanar graph, then it contains a subgraph that is homeomorphic of K5 or K3,3
