An SPQR-Tree-Like Embedding Representation for Upward Planarity

Data Structures and Algorithms 2019-08-02 v1

Abstract

The SPQR-tree is a data structure that compactly represents all planar embeddings of a biconnected planar graph. It plays a key role in constrained planarity testing. We develop a similar data structure, called the UP-tree, that compactly represents all upward planar embeddings of a biconnected single-source directed graph. We demonstrate the usefulness of the UP-tree by solving the upward planar embedding extension problem for biconnected single-source directed graphs.
