Description
- Show that ๐พ8 can be drawn on a 2-holed torus without edges crossing. Feel free to use the octagon model as a framework for youre drawing:
- Use an edge-counting argument to show that ๐พ9 cannot be drawn on a
2-holed torus without edges crossing.ย Ingredients:ย For ๐พ9, you have
9
๐ = 9, ๐ = ( ) = 36.ย What would ๐ have to be?ย What is a lower 2
bound on the total edge count since every region must be bounded by at least three edges?
- If we re-orient the arcs around the diagram from #1 so they all point clockwise, what is the resulting value of ๐ โ ๐ + ๐?
- In terms of ๐ โ {2,3,4,5,6, โฆ }, how many tournaments are there with the node set ๐ = {1,2,3, โฆ , ๐}? This is equivalent to asking for how many ways are there to orient the edges of ๐พ๐ with vertex set {1,2,3, โฆ , ๐}.
- Let ๐ โ {3,4,5,6, โฆ } be fixed. Show that there are exactly two orientations of ๐ถ๐ with vertex set ๐ = {0,1,2, โฆ , ๐ โ 1} that are strongly connected.
