Predicate stating that a graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges is planar (abstract placeholder for the planarity property used throughout this file).
Instances For
Euler's formula for planar graphs: a planar graph on $n \geq 1$ vertices has at most $3n$ edges, i.e., $m \leq 3n$.
A planarization of a graph: removing $cr$ crossing edges from a graph with $m$ edges yields a planar graph on the same $n$ vertices.
The expected number of crossings in a random subgraph where each vertex is kept independently with probability $p$ (abstract placeholder).
Instances For
Upper bound on the expected crossing number of a random induced subgraph: each of the $cr$ crossings survives with probability $p^4$, so $\mathbb{E}[cr'] \leq p^4 \cdot cr$.
Crossing number inequality (Theorem 2.6.2). For any graph with $|V| = n \geq 1$ and $|E| = m \geq 4n$, the crossing number satisfies $64 n^2 \cdot cr(G) \geq m^3$, i.e., $cr(G) \gtrsim m^3 / n^2$.
