crossing-numbergeometrygraph-theory

Given an ordinary polygonal drawing DDD of a finite simple graph GGG and a vertex subset SSS, one can draw the induced graph G[S]G[S]G[S] by restricting the vertex placement and retaining exactly the edges whose endpoints lie in SSS.

The bridge identifies every induced edge with its original edge, characterizes the induced crossing set by crossings of retained original edges, and shows that a drawing with no adjacent-edge crossings has no common endpoint between any two edges crossing in their relative interiors. These correspondences let crossing-number inequalities for induced subgraphs be compared with the original drawing.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
