Abstract
Graphs that are critical (minimal excluded minors) for embeddability in surfaces are studied. In Part I, it was shown that graphs that are critical for embeddings into surfaces of Euler genus k or for embeddings into nonorientable surface of genus k are built from 3-connected components, called hoppers and cascades. In Part II, all cascades for Euler genus 2 are classified. As a consequence, the complete list of obstructions of connectivity 2 for embedding graphs into the Klein bottle is obtained.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Combinatorial Theory publishes original mathematical research dealing with theoretical and physical aspects of the study of finite and discrete structures in all branches of science. Series B is concerned primarily with graph theory and matroid theory and is a valuable tool for mathematicians and computer scientists.
