In this paper, we consider the family of generalized Petersen graphs P(n,4). We prove that the metric dimension of P(n, 4) is 3 when n = 0 (mod 4), and is 4 when n = 4k + 3 (k is even).For n = 1,2 (mod 4) a...In this paper, we consider the family of generalized Petersen graphs P(n,4). We prove that the metric dimension of P(n, 4) is 3 when n = 0 (mod 4), and is 4 when n = 4k + 3 (k is even).For n = 1,2 (mod 4) and n = 4k + 3 (k is odd), we prove that the metric dimension of P(n,4) is bounded above by 4. This shows that each graph of the family of generalized Petersen graphs P(n, 4) has constant metric dimension.展开更多

In this paper, we determine the skewness of the generalized Petersen graph P(4k, k) and hence a lower bound for the crossing number of P(4k, k). In addition, an upper bound for the crossing number of P(4k, k) is also given.展开更多

In this paper, the structures of embeddings of circulant graph C(2n + 1; {1, n}) on the projective plane are described, the number of embeddings of C(2n + 1; {1, n}) on the projective plane follows, then the number of embeddings of the generalized Petersen graph P(2n + 1, n) on the projective plane is deduced from that of C(2n + 1; {1, n}), because C(2n + 1; {1, n}) is a minor of P(2n + 1, n), their structures of embeddings have relations. In the same way, the number of embeddings of the generalized Petersen graph P(2n, 2) on the projective plane is also obtained.展开更多

The page number is a measure of the quality of a book embedding which is the minimum number of pages in which the graph G can be embedded. In this paper, the authors discuss the embedding of the generalized Petersen graph and determine that the page number of the generalized Petersen graph is three in some situations, which is best possible.展开更多
