A graph drawn on the plane is k-immersed () in the plane if each edge is crossed by at most k other edges. By a proper k-immersion of a graph we mean a k-immersion of the graph in the plane such that there is at least one crossing point. Planar graphs having no proper 1-immersions were constructed before, and it was shown that every connected planar graph has a proper 3-immersion (with the exception of and ). There remained an open problem of whether there exist planar graphs having no proper 2-immersions. We consider the class of all finite graphs triangulating the plane such that the graphs have no loops and multiple edges, the vertices have degree 5 and 6 only, and the distance between any two 5-valent vertices is at least 4. In this series of papers we construct graphs of the class having no proper 2-immersions. In the present paper we study properties of graphs of the class and properties of proper 2-immersions of the graphs.

平面图在平面中没有适当的 2 浸。一世
在平面上绘制的图形是k浸入的() 在平面中,如果每条边最多与k 条其他边相交。通过一个适当的ķ -浸渍的曲线图的,我们是指一个ķ在平面图中,使得存在至少一个交叉点的-immersion。之前构造了没有适当的 1-浸入的平面图,并且证明了每个连通的平面图都有适当的 3-浸入(除了 和 )。是否存在没有适当的 2-浸入的平面图仍然存在一个悬而未决的问题。我们考虑类 在所有有限图中对平面进行三角剖分,使得图没有环和多条边,顶点只有度数 5 和 6,并且任意两个 5 价顶点之间的距离至少为 4。 在本系列论文中,我们构造图班级的 没有适当的 2 次浸泡。在本文中,我们研究了类图的性质 和图形的适当 2 浸入的性质。
