The maximum genus of a 3-regular simplicial graph. (English) Zbl 0945.05017

Authors’ abstract: The relationship between the non-separating independent number and the maximum genus of a 3-regular simplicial graph is presented. A lower bound on the maximum genus of a 3-regular graph involving girth is provided. The lower bound is tight, it improves a bound of Huang and Liu.
