Abstract

We prove that the crossing number of a graph decays in a "continuous fashion" in the following sense. For any Ɛ 0 there is a Ɛ 0 such that for n sufficiently large, every graph G with n vertices and m ≥ n1+Ɛ edges has a subgraph G' of at most (1 - δ)m edges and crossing number at least (1 - Ɛ)cr(G). This generalizes the result of J. Fox and Cs. Tóth.
