Given an undirected planar graph G with n vertices and a set S of n points inside a simple polygon P, a point-set embedding of G on S is a planar drawing of G such that each vertex is mapped to a distinct point of S and the edges are…

A graph is called (generically) rigid in $\mathbb{R}^d$ if, for any choice of sufficiently generic edge lengths, it can be embedded in $\mathbb{R}^d$ in a finite number of distinct ways, modulo rigid transformations. Here we deal with the…

A graph is called a sum graph if its vertices can be labelled by distinct positive integers such that there is an edge between two vertices if and only if the sum of their labels is the label of another vertex of the graph. Most papers on…

A greedy embedding of a graph $G = (V,E)$ into a metric space $(X,d)$ is a function $x : V(G) \to X$ such that in the embedding for every pair of non-adjacent vertices $x(s), x(t)$ there exists another vertex $x(u)$ adjacent to $x(s)$ which…

Cohen-Addad, Le, Pilipczuk, and Pilipczuk [CLPP23] recently constructed a stochastic embedding with expected $1+\varepsilon$ distortion of $n$-vertex planar graphs (with polynomial aspect ratio) into graphs of treewidth…

We give an algorithm to morph planar graph drawings that achieves small grid size at the expense of allowing a constant number of bends on each edge. The input is an $n$-vertex planar graph and two planar straight-line drawings of the graph…

A set of colored graphs are compatible, if for every color $i$, the number of vertices of color $i$ is the same in every graph. A simultaneous embedding of $k$ compatibly colored graphs, each with $n$ vertices, consists of $k$ planar…

Vertex connectivity and edge connectivity are fundamental concepts in graph theory that have been widely studied from both structural and algorithmic perspectives. The focus of this paper is on computing these two parameters for graphs…

A well-known result by Kant [Algorithmica, 1996] implies that n-vertex outerplane graphs admit embedding-preserving planar straight-line grid drawings where the internal faces are convex polygons in $O(n^2)$ area. In this paper, we present…

We take an elementary and systematic approach to the problem of extending the Tutte polynomial to the setting of embedded graphs. Four notions of embedded graphs arise naturally when considering deletion and contraction operations on graphs…

A data structure is presented that explicitly maintains the graph of a Voronoi diagram of $N$ point sites in the plane or the dual graph of a convex hull of points in three dimensions while allowing insertions of new sites/points. Our…

A graph drawing in the plane is called an almost embedding if images of any two non-adjacent simplices (i.e. vertices or edges) are disjoint. We introduce integer invariants of almost embeddings: winding number, cyclic and triodic Wu…

We develop a new approach for distributed distance computation in planar graphs that is based on a variant of the metric compression problem recently introduced by Abboud et al. [SODA'18]. One of our key technical contributions is in…

We investigate computational problems involving large weights through the lens of kernelization, which is a framework of polynomial-time preprocessing aimed at compressing the instance size. Our main focus is the weighted Clique problem,…

Let $G$ be a connected $n$-vertex graph in a proper minor-closed class $\mathcal G$. We prove that the extension complexity of the spanning tree polytope of $G$ is $O(n^{3/2})$. This improves on the $O(n^2)$ bounds following from the work…

Every three-connected planar graph with n vertices has a drawing on an O(n^2) x O(n^2) grid in which all faces are strictly convex polygons. These drawings are obtained by perturbing (not strictly) convex drawings on O(n) x O(n) grids. More…

We introduce space-efficient plane-sweep algorithms for basic planar geometric problems. It is assumed that the input is in a read-only array of $n$ items and that the available workspace is $\Theta(s)$ bits, where $\lg n \leq s \leq n…

An "edge guard set" of a plane graph $G$ is a subset $\Gamma$ of edges of $G$ such that each face of $G$ is incident to an endpoint of an edge in $\Gamma$. Such a set is said to guard $G$. We improve the known upper bounds on the number of…

We consider embeddings of 3-regular graphs into 3-dimensional Cartesian coordinates, in such a way that two vertices are adjacent if and only if two of their three coordinates are equal (that is, if they lie on an axis-parallel line) and…

We consider relations between the size, treewidth, and local crossing number (maximum number of crossings per edge) of graphs embedded on topological surfaces. We show that an $n$-vertex graph embedded on a surface of genus $g$ with at most…
