Topological Graph Theory (Wiley-Interscience Series in Discrete Mathematics and Optimization)

Summary: This introduction emphasizes graph imbedding but also covers the connections between topological graph theory and other areas of mathematics. Authors explore the role of voltage graphs in the derivation of genus formulas, explain the Ringel-Youngs theorem and examine the genus of a group, including imbeddings of Cayley graphs. 1987 edition. Many figures.&
