In this paper, we present a polynomial dynamic programming algorithm that tests whether a $n$-vertex directed tree $T$ has an upward planar embedding into a convex point-set $S$ of size $n$. Further, we extend our approach to the class of…
We study upward planar straight-line embeddings (UPSE) of directed trees on given point sets. The given point set $S$ has size at least the number of vertices in the tree. For the special case where the tree is a path $P$ we show that: (a)…
Geometric embedding of graphs in a point set in the plane is a well known problem. In this paper, the complexity of a variant of this problem, where the point set is bounded by a simple polygon, is considered. Given a point set in the plane…
We study the upward point-set embeddability of digraphs on one-sided convex point sets with at most 1 bend per edge. We provide an algorithm to compute a 1-bend upward point-set embedding of outerplanar $st$-digraphs on arbitrary one-sided…
In the point set embeddability problem, we are given a plane graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and a point set $S$ with $n$ points. Now the goal is to answer the question whether there exists a straight-line drawing of $G$ such that each vertex…
We study upward pointset embeddings (UPSEs) of planar $st$-graphs. Let $G$ be a planar $st$-graph and let $S \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a pointset with $|S|= |V(G)|$. An UPSE of $G$ on $S$ is an upward planar straight-line drawing of $G$ that…
In an upward planar 2-slope drawing of a digraph, edges are drawn as straight-line segments in the upward direction without crossings using only two different slopes. We investigate whether a given upward planar digraph admits such a…
The dichotomy conjecture for the parameterized embedding problem states that the problem of deciding whether a given graph $G$ from some class $K$ of "pattern graphs" can be embedded into a given graph $H$ (that is, is isomorphic to a…
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…
We study compact straight-line embeddings of trees. We show that perfect binary trees can be embedded optimally: a tree with $n$ nodes can be drawn on a $\sqrt n$ by $\sqrt n$ grid. We also show that testing whether a given binary tree has…
An L-shaped embedding of a tree in a point set is a planar drawing of the tree where the vertices are mapped to distinct points and every edge is drawn as a sequence of two axis-aligned line segments. There has been considerable work on…
The slope number of a graph $G$ is the smallest number of slopes needed for the segments representing the edges in any straight-line drawing of $G$. It serves as a measure of the visual complexity of a graph drawing. Several bounds on the…
In 1999, Heath, Pemmaraju, and Trenk [SIAM J. Comput. 28(4), 1999] extended the classic notion of book embeddings to digraphs, introducing the concept of upward book embeddings, in which the vertices must appear along the spine in a…
Given a graph $ G $ with $ n $ vertices and a set $ S $ of $ n $ points in the plane, a point-set embedding of $ G $ on $ S $ is a planar drawing such that each vertex of $ G $ is mapped to a distinct point of $ S $. A straight-line…

We study $k$-page upward book embeddings ($k$UBEs) of $st$-graphs, that is, book embeddings of single-source single-sink directed acyclic graphs on $k$ pages with the additional requirement that the vertices of the graph appear in a…
For every $n\in \mathbb{N}$, we present a set $S_n$ of $O(n^{3/2}\log n)$ points in the plane such that every planar 3-tree with $n$ vertices has a straight-line embedding in the plane in which the vertices are mapped to a subset of $S_n$.…
Given a planar digraph $G$ and a positive even integer $k$, an embedding of $G$ in the plane is k-modal, if every vertex of $G$ is incident to at most $k$ pairs of consecutive edges with opposite orientations, i.e., the incoming and the…
One of the important features of an interconnection network is its ability to efficiently simulate programs or parallel algorithms written for other architectures. Such a simulation problem can be mathematically formulated as a graph…
In this paper we study the computational complexity of the Upward Planarity Extension problem, which takes in input an upward planar drawing $\Gamma_H$ of a subgraph $H$ of a directed graph $G$ and asks whether $\Gamma_H$ can be extended to…
