It is easy to see that a non-homotopic multigraph on   n>1  vertices can have arbitrarily many edges. We prove that the number of crossings between the edges of a non-homotopic multigraph with n vertices and   m>4n  edges is larger than   cm2n  for some constant   c>0 , and that this bound is tight up to a polylogarithmic factor. We also show that the lower bound is not asymptotically sharp as n is fixed and   m⟶∞ ."}],"series_title":"LNCS","title":"Crossings between non-homotopic edges","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"HeEd"}],"author":[{"id":"E62E3130-B088-11EA-B919-BF823C25FEA4","first_name":"János","full_name":"Pach, János","last_name":"Pach"},{"first_name":"Gábor","last_name":"Tardos","full_name":"Tardos, Gábor"},{"last_name":"Tóth","full_name":"Tóth, Géza","first_name":"Géza"}]}
