Doublecross Graph


In this work, the term "doublecross graph" is used to refer to a graph with graph crossing number 2.

In the terminology of Robertson et al. (1997), a doublecross graph is a graph having a drawing in the plane with two crossings incident with a common graph face. Edwards et al. (2016) used the same terminology. This drawing condition is not equivalent to having graph crossing number 2.

The Robertson-Edwards terminology is directly related to the Tutte three-edge-coloring conjecture. Robertson et al. (1997) showed that the conjecture reduces to the apex and doublecross cases, and Edwards et al. (2016) proved the doublecross case.

The numbers of doublecross simple graphs on n=1 nodes are 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 39, ..., and the numbers of connected graphs are 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 38, ....
