Abstract: The crossing number of a graph G, denoted by cr(G), is the minimum number of edge crossings in all drawings of G. The research on the crossing number of a graph is an active problem in topology graph theory. Klešč and Petrillová characterized graphs G1 and G2 for which the crossing number of G1G2 is two if G1 is a cycle. This paper studies the necessary and sufficient conditions of G1 and G2 for which cr(G1G2) = 2 if |V(G1)| > 3.

Key words: crossing number, drawing, Cartesian product graph
