Abstract

A vertex is said to be doubly light in a family of plane graphs if its degree and sizes of neighbouring faces are bounded above by a finite constant. We provide several results on the existence of doubly light vertices in various families of plane graph.

Keywords: plane graph, doubly light vertex.
