Intrinsic Properties of Spatial Graphs - Denison University

Introduction Linking and Knotting Other Intrinsic Properties ConclusionBook embeddingsIn a book embedding, a graph is embedded in a “book” of halfplanes joined along a “spine” (a line), so that the vertices are allembedded on the spine, and the edges in each page do notcross. A book embedding is minimal if it uses the smallestpossible number of pages.Blake MellorIntrinsic Properties of Spatial Graphs
