Relations To Other Graph Properties
The book thickness of a graph is at most 1 if and only if it is outerplanar. The book thickness is at most two if and only if the graph is a subgraph of a planar graph with a Hamiltonian cycle; for instance, the Goldner–Harary graph, a non-Hamiltonian maximal planar graph, provides an example of a planar graph that does not have book thickness two. Since finding Hamiltonian cycles in maximal planar graphs is NP-complete, so is the problem of testing whether the book thickness is two. All planar graphs have book thickness at most four. It was claimed in that some planar graphs have book thickness exactly four. However, a detailed proof of this claim, announced in a subsequent journal paper, has never been published. Graphs of treewidth k have book thickness at most k + 1. Graphs of genus g have book thickness O(√g).

Famous quotes containing the words relations to, relations, graph and/or properties:
“Our relations to each other are oblique and casual.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“All social rules and all relations between individuals are eroded by a cash economy, avarice drags Pluto himself out of the bowels of the earth.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“In this Journal, my pen is a delicate needle point, tracing out a graph of temperament so as to show its daily fluctuations: grave and gay, up and down, lamentation and revelry, self-love and self-disgust. You get here all my thoughts and opinions, always irresponsible and often contradictory or mutually exclusive, all my moods and vapours, all the varying reactions to environment of this jelly which is I.”
—W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)
“A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
