The crossing number cr(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of crossings in a drawing of G in the plane with no more than two edges intersecting at any point that is not a vertex. The rectilinear crossing number cr ¯(G) of G is the minimum number of crossings in a such drawing of G with edges as straight line segments. Zarankiewicz proved in 1952 that cr ¯(Kn1,n2)≤Z(n1,n2):=⌊n12⌋⌊n1−12⌋⌊n22⌋⌊n2−12⌋ . We generalize the upper bound Z(n1,n2) to A(n1,n2,n3):=∑i=1,2,3{j,k}={1,2,3}∖{i}nj2nj−12nk2nk−12+ni2ni−12njnk2,and prove cr ¯(Kn1,n2,n3)≤A(n1,n2,n3) . We also show that for n large enough, 0.973A(n,n,n)≤ cr ¯(Kn,n,n) and 0.666A(n,n,n)≤ cr (Kn,n,n) , with the tighter rectilinear lower bound established through the use of flag algebras. A complete multipartite graph is balanced if the partite sets all have the same cardinality. We study asymptotic behavior of the crossing number of the balanced complete r‐partite graph. Richter and Thomassen proved in 1997 that the limit as n→∞ of cr (Kn,n) over the maximum number of crossings in a drawing of Kn,n exists and is at most 14 . We define ζ(r):=3(r2−r)8(r2+r−3) and show that for a fixed r and the balanced complete r‐partite graph, ζ(r) is an upper bound to the limit superior of the crossing number divided by the maximum number of crossings in a drawing.
