In this paper we first present a structure theorem for an infinite locally finite 3-connected VAP-free planar graph, and in connection with this result we study a possible classification of infinite locally finite planar graphs by reducing modulo finiteness.

For two integers m, n with m $\leq$ n, an [m,n]-factor F in a graph G is a spanning subgraph of G with m $\leq$ d$\_$F/(v) $\leq$ n for all v ∈ V(F). In 1996, H. Enomoto et al. proved that every 3-connected Planar graph G with d$\_$G/(v) $\geq$ 4 for all v ∈ V(G) contains a [2,3]-factor. In this paper. we extend their result to all 3-connected locally finite infinite planar graphs containing no unbounded faces.

An upright drawing of a planar graph G on k layers is a planar straight-line drawing of G, where the vertices of G are placed on a set of k horizontal lines, called layers and no two adjacent vertices are placed on the same layer. There is a previously known algorithm that decides in linear time whether a planar graph admits an upright drawing on k layers for a fixed value of k. However, the constant factor in the running time of the algorithm increases exponentially with k and makes it impractical even for k = 3. In this paper, we give a linear-time algorithm to examine whether a biconnected planar graph G admits an upright drawing on three layers and to obtain such a drawing if it exists. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for a tree to have an upright drawing on three layers. Our algorithms in both the cases are much simpler and easier to implement than the previously known algorithms.

A proper vertex coloring of a graph G is acyclic if G contains no bicolored cycle. A graph G is acyclically L-list colorable if for a given list assignment $L=\{L(v):v{\in}V(G)\}$, there exists an acyclic coloring ${\phi}$ of G such that ${\phi}(v){\in}L(v)$ for all $v{\in}V(G)$ A graph G is acyclically k-choosable if G is acyclically L-list colorable for any list assignment with $L(v){\geq}k$ for all $v{\in}V(G)$. Let G be a planar graph without 5-cycles and adjacent 4-cycles. In this article, we prove that G is acyclically 5-choosable if every vertex v in G is incident with at most one i-cycle, $i {\in}\{6,7\}$.

The problem of vertex labeling with a condition at distance two in a graph, is a variation of Hale's channel assignment problem, which was first explored by Griggs and Yeh. For positive integer $p{\geq}q$, the ${\lambda}_{p,q}$-number of graph G, denoted ${\lambda}(G;p,q)$, is the smallest span among all integer labellings of V(G) such that vertices at distance two receive labels which differ by at least q and adjacent vertices receive labels which differ by at least p. Van den Heuvel and McGuinness have proved that ${\lambda}(G;p,q){\leq}(4q-2){\Delta}+10p+38q-24$ for any planar graph G with maximum degree ${\Delta}$. In this paper, we studied the upper bound of ${\lambda}_{p,q}$-number of some planar graphs. It is proved that ${\lambda}(G;p,q){\leq}(2q-1){\Delta}+2(2p-1)$ if G is an outerplanar graph and ${\lambda}(G;p,q){\leq}(2q-1){\Delta}+6p-4q-1$ if G is a Halin graph.

M. Junger, G. Reinelt, and W. R. Pulleyblank asked the following questions ([2]). (1) Is it true that every simple planar 2-edge connected bipartite graph has a 3-partition in which each component consists of the edge set of a simple path? (2) Does every simple planar 2-edge connected graph have a 3-partition in which every component consists of the edge set of simple paths and triangles? The purpose of this paper is to provide a positive answer to the second question for simple outerplanar 2-vertex connected graphs and a positive answer to the first question for simple planar 2-edge connected bipartite graphs one set of whose bipartition has at most 4 vertices.

The intersection graph of a group G is an undirected graph without loops and multiple edges defined as follows: the vertex set is the set of all proper non-trivial subgroups of G, and there is an edge between two distinct vertices H and K if and only if $H{\cap}K{\neq}1$ where 1 denotes the trivial subgroup of G. In this paper we characterize all finite groups whose intersection graphs are planar. Our methods are elementary. Among the graphs similar to the intersection graphs, we may count the subgroup lattice and the subgroup graph of a group, each of whose planarity was already considered before in [2, 10, 11, 12].

A vertex coloring of a graph G is called injective if any two vertices with a common neighbor receive distinct colors. A graph G is injectively k-choosable if any list L of admissible colors on V (G) of size k allows an injective coloring 𝜑 such that 𝜑(v) ∈ L(v) whenever v ∈ V (G). The least k for which G is injectively k-choosable is denoted by χ^l_i(G). For a planar graph G, Bu et al. proved that χ^l_i(G) ≤ ∆ + 6 if girth g ≥ 5 and maximum degree ∆(G) ≥ 8. In this paper, we improve this result by showing that χ^l_i(G) ≤ ∆ + 6 for g ≥ 5 and arbitrary ∆(G).

We give a criterion for vertex extremal length parabolicity of locally finite planar graphs, and use it to show that a disk triangulation graph is circle packing parabolic if and only if its immediate finer graphs are circle packing parabolic.

A graph is k-cyclable if given k vertices there is a cycle that contains the k vertices. Sallee showed that every finite 3-connected planar graph is 5-cyclable. In this paper Sallee's result is extended to 3-connected infinite locally finite VAP-free plane graphs containing no unbounded faces.
