Abstract

This is a research project to request a research internship abroad scholarship for Atílio Gomes Luiz, associated to process 2012/105623. It is proposed to investigate the Albertson's conjecture, which relates the chromatic number and crossing number of a graph. In 2007, Michael Albertson conjectured that if a graph G has chromatic number r, then its crossing number is at least as much as the crossing number of the complete graph with r vertices. This conjecture was confirmed be valid to r less than or equal to 16, and remains open to the other cases. The goal of this project is to investigate this conjecture for some classes of graphs. (AU)
