Abstract

We study the problem of Upward Point-Set Embeddability, that is the problem of deciding whether a given upward planar digraph DD has an upward planar embedding into a point set SS. We show that any switch tree admits an upward planar straight-line embedding into any convex point set. For the class of kk-switch trees, that is a generalization of switch trees (according to this definition a switch tree is a 11-switch tree), we show that not every kk-switch tree admits an upward planar straight-line embedding into any convex point set, for any k2k \geq 2. Finally we show that the problem of Upward Point-Set Embeddability is NP-complete.
