Planarity Testing is the problem of determining whether a given graph is planar while planar embedding is the corresponding construction problem. The bounded space complexity of these problems has been determined to be exactly Logspace by…
We study vertex sparsification for distances, in the setting of planar graphs with distortion: Given a planar graph $G$ (with edge weights) and a subset of $k$ terminal vertices, the goal is to construct an $\varepsilon$-emulator, which is…
We consider non-trivial homomorphisms to reflexive oriented graphs in which some pair of adjacent vertices have the same image. Using a notion of convexity for oriented graphs, we study those oriented graphs that do not admit such…
We show that Caratheodory's conjecture, on umbilical points of closed convex surfaces, may be reformulated in terms of the existence of at least one umbilic in the graphs of functions f: R^2-->R whose gradient decays uniformly faster than…
Graph embedding has recently gained momentum in the research community, in particular after the introduction of random walk and neural network based approaches. However, most of the embedding approaches focus on representing the local…
A graph $G$ is said to be $p$-locally dense if every induced subgraph of $G$ with linearly many vertices has edge density at least $p$. A famous conjecture of Kohayakawa, Nagle, R\"odl, and Schacht predicts that locally dense graphs have,…
The present paper is the first one in the sequence of papers about a simple class of {\em framed $4$-graphs}; the goal of the present paper is to collect some well-known results on planarity and to reformulate them in the language of {\em…
Modern methods of graph theory describe a graph up to isomorphism, which makes it difficult to create mathematical models for visualizing graph drawings on a plane. The topological drawing of the planar part of a graph allows representing…
Approximate proof labeling schemes were introduced by \\Censor-Hillel, Paz and Perry \cite{CPP}. Roughly speaking, a graph property~$\cP$ can be verified by an approximate proof labeling scheme in constant-time if the vertices of a graph…
The problem of recognizing (k, l)-tight graphs is a fundamental problem that has close connections to well studied problems like graph rigidity. The problem is better understood for planar graphs as compared to general graphs. For example,…
We investigate the problem of constructing planar drawings with few bends for two related problems, the partially embedded graph problem---to extend a straight-line planar drawing of a subgraph to a planar drawing of the whole graph---and…
We show that finitely presented groups which admit $k$-planar Cayley graphs contain finite-index subgroups with planar Cayley graphs. More generally, we answer a question of Georgakopoulos and Papasoglu in the special case of coarsely…
In this paper we discuss reconstruction problems for graphs. We develop some new ideas like isomorphic extension of isomorphic graphs, partitioning of vertex sets into sets of equivalent points, subdeck property, etc. and develop an…
Croke and Kleiner constructed two homeomorphic locally CAT(0) complexes whose universal covers have visual boundaries that are not homeomorphic. We construct two homeomorphic locally CAT(0) complexes so that the visual boundary of one…
We introduce a curvature function for planar graphs to study the connection between the curvature and the geometric and spectral properties of the graph. We show that non-positive curvature implies that the graph is infinite and locally…
Graph-based methods have been quite successful in solving unsupervised and semi-supervised learning problems, as they provide a means to capture the underlying geometry of the dataset. It is often desirable for the constructed graph to…
In the branch of mathematics known as graph theory, graphs are considered as a set of points, called vertices, with connections between these points, called edges. The purpose of this paper is to study mappings between two graphs that have…
A map $\varphi:K\to R^2$ of a graph $K$ is approximable by embeddings, if for each $\varepsilon>0$ there is an $\varepsilon$-close to $\varphi$ embedding $f:K\to R^2$. Analogous notions were studied in computer science under the names of…
In this work, we study how far one can deviate from optimal behavior when embedding a planar graph. For a planar graph $G$, we say that a plane subgraph $H\subseteq G$ is a \textit{plane-saturated subgraph} if adding any edge (possibly with…
This paper is about hyperbolic properties on planar graphs. First, we study the relations among various kinds of strong isoperimetric inequalities on planar graphs and their duals. In particular, we show that a planar graph satisfies a…
