Abstract

The crossing number of G is the minimum number of crossing points in any drawing of G. We consider the following two other parameters. The rectilinear crossing number is the minimum number of crossing points in any drawing of G, with straight line segments as edges. The pairwise crossing number of G is the minimum number of pairs of crossing edges over all drawings of G. We prove several results on the expected values of these parameters of a random graph.
