Let ck = crk (G) denote theminimum number of edge crossings when a graph G is drawn onan orientable surface of genus k. The (orientable) crossingsequence co,c1,c2…encodes thetrade-off between adding handles and decreasing crossings. We focuson sequences of the type co c1 c2 = 0; equivalently,we study the planar and toroidal crossing number of doubly-toroidalgraphs. For every ε 0 we construct graphs whoseorientable crossing sequence satisfiesc1-co 5-6-ε. Inother words, we construct graphs where the addition of one handlecan save roughly 1-6th of the crossings, but the addition of asecond handle can save five times more crossings. We similarlydefine the non-orientable crossing sequence~0,~1,~2, … for drawings onnon-orientable surfaces. We show that for every ~0~1 0 there exists a graph with non-orientablecrossing sequence ~0, ~1, 0. We conjecturethat every strictly-decreasing sequence of non-negative integerscan be both an orientable crossing sequence and a non-orientablecrossing sequence (with different graphs). © 2001 John Wiley& Sons, Inc.
