Abstract

The skewness of a graph G is the minimum number of edges in G whose removal results in a planar graph. In this paper, we determine the skewness of the generalized Petersen graph P(4k, k) and hence a lower bound for the crossing number of P(4k, k). In addition, an upper bound for the crossing number of P(4k, k) is also given.
