Title
Four-terminal reducibility and projective-planar wye-delta-wye-reducible graphs
Abstract
A graph is YΔY-reducible if it can bereduced to a vertex by a sequence of series-parallel reductions andYΔY-transformations. Terminals aredistinguished vertices, that cannot be deleted by reductions andtransformations. In this article, we show that four-terminal planargraphs are YΔY-reducible when at least three ofthe vertices lie on the same face. Using this result, wecharacterize YΔY-reducible projective-planargraphs. We also consider terminals in projective-planar graphs, andestablish that graphs of crossing-number one areYΔY-reducible. © 2000 John Wiley &Sons, Inc. J Graph Theory 33: 8393, 2000
