Abstract

A graph is called 1-planar if there exists a drawing in the plane so that each edge contains at most one crossing. We study maximal 1-planar graphs from the point of view of properties of their diagrams, local structure and hamiltonicity.

Keywords: 1-planar graph, maximal graph

2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C10.
