A planarizing set of a graph is a set of edges or vertices whose removal leaves a planar graph. It is shown that, if G is an n-vertex graph of maximum degree d and orientable genus g, then there exists a planarizing set of O(√dgn) edges. This result is tight within a constant factor. Similar results are obtained for planarizing vertex sets and for graphs embedded on nonorientable surfaces. Planarizing edge and vertex sets can be found in O(n+g) time, if an embedding of G on a surface of genus g is given. We also construct an approximation algorithm that finds an O(√gn log g) planarizing vertex set of G in O(n log g) time if no genus-g embedding is given as an input.
