Abstract

A convex geometric graph GG is said to be packable if there exist edge-disjoint copies of GG in the complete convex geometric graph KnK_n covering all but o(n2)o(n^2) edges. We prove that every convex geometric graph with cyclic chromatic number at most 44 is packable. With a similar definition of packability for ordered graphs, we prove that every ordered graph with interval chromatic number at most 33 is packable. Arguments based on the average length of edges imply these results are best possible. We also identify a class of convex geometric graphs that are packable due to having many "long" edges.
