We also prove that the complement of a non-separating planar graph of order at least 10 is intrinsically knotted. We show these lower bounds on the orders are the best possible. We show that for a maximal non-separating planar graph with $n\\ge 7$ vertices, its complement $cG$ is $(n-7)-$apex. We conclude that the de Verdi\\`ere invariant for such graphs satisfies $\\mu(cG)\\le n-4$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-01-14T17:42:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C10" ], "keywords": [ "complement", "maximal non-separating planar graph", "lower bounds", "graphs satisfies" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
