Abstract:
      It is well known that finding the crossing number of a graph on nonplanar surfaces is very difficult. In this paper we study the crossing number of the circular graph $C(10,4)$ on the projective plane and determine the nonorientable crossing number sequence of $C(10,4)$. On the basis of the result, we show that the nonorientable crossing number sequence of $C(10,4)$ is not convex.
