Question

Let G be a graph with $p \ge 11$ vertices. Prove that at least one of G and its complement is nonplanar. (The complement of G has vertex set V(G) and edge set \{xy: x, y \in V(G), xy \notin E(G), x \ne y\}.)

Step 1

Step 1: Recall that a graph G is nonplanar if it contains a subgraph homeomorphic to K5 (the complete graph on 5 vertices) or K3,3 (the complete bipartite graph on 3 vertices in each part). Show more…

Explain your work. Let G be a graph with p = 11 vertices. Prove that at least one of G and its complement is nonplanar. The complement of G has vertex set VG and edge set {xy | xy ∈ VG, xy ∉ EG, xy}.
