(1) Both of the problems of testing the planarity of graphs and embedding a planar graph into the plane are equivalent to finding a spanning tree in another graph whose order and size are bounded by a linear function of the order and the size of the original graph, respectively. (2) The number of topologically non-equivalent planar embeddings of a Hamiltonian planar graph $G$ is $τ(G)=2\sp{c(H)-1}$, where $c(H)$ is the number of components of the graph $H$ which is related to $G$. rv:
