Simultaneous embedding is concerned with simultaneously representing a series of graphs sharing some or all vertices. This forms the basis for the visualization of dynamic graphs and thus is an important field of research. Recently there…
A half-square of a bipartite graph $B=(X,Y,E_B)$ has one color class of $B$ as vertex set, say $X$; two vertices are adjacent whenever they have a common neighbor in $Y$. If $G=(V,E_G)$ is the half-square of a planar bipartite graph…
In a recent paper, Francis, Illickan, Jose and Rajendraprasad showed that every $n$-vertex plane graph $G$ has (under some natural restrictions) a vertex-partition into two sets $V_1$ and $V_2$ such that each $V_i$ is \emph{dominating}…
A planar orthogonal drawing {\Gamma} of a connected planar graph G is a geometric representation of G such that the vertices are drawn as distinct points of the plane, the edges are drawn as chains of horizontal and vertical segments, and…
A visibility representation of a graph $G$ is an assignment of the vertices of $G$ to geometric objects such that vertices are adjacent if and only if their corresponding objects are "visible" each other, that is, there is an uninterrupted…
Over the past twenty years, rectangle visibility graphs have generated considerable interest, in part due to their applicability to VLSI chip design. Here we study unit rectangle visibility graphs, with fixed dimension restrictions more…
Let $\Gamma$ be a straight-line drawing of a graph and let $u$ and $v$ be two vertices of $\Gamma$. The Gabriel disk of $u,v$ is the disk having $u$ and $v$ as antipodal points. A pair $\langle \Gamma_0,\Gamma_1 \rangle$ of vertex-disjoint…
B$_0$-VPG graphs are intersection graphs of vertical and horizontal line segments on a plane. Cohen, Golumbic, Trotter, and Wang [Order, 2016] pose the question of characterizing B$_0$-VPG permutation graphs. We respond here by…
An ortho-polygon visibility representation of an $n$-vertex embedded graph $G$ (OPVR of $G$) is an embedding-preserving drawing of $G$ that maps every vertex to a distinct orthogonal polygon and each edge to a vertical or horizontal…
A rectangular dual of a plane graph $G$ is a contact representations of $G$ by interior-disjoint axis-aligned rectangles such that (i) no four rectangles share a point and (ii) the union of all rectangles is a rectangle. A rectangular dual…
We introduce L-drawings, a novel paradigm for representing directed graphs aiming at combining the readability features of orthogonal drawings with the expressive power of matrix representations. In an L-drawing, vertices have exclusive…
In this paper, we give polynomial-time algorithms that can take a graph G with a given combinatorial embedding on an orientable surface S of genus g and produce a planar drawing of G in R^2, with a bounding face defined by a polygonal…
We consider the problem of morphing between contact representations of a plane graph. In an $\mathcal F$-contact representation of a plane graph $G$, vertices are realized by internally disjoint elements from a family $\mathcal F$ of…
A graph $G=(V,E)$ is a support of a hypergraph $H=(V,S)$ if every hyperedge induces a connected subgraph in $G$. Supports are used for certain types of hypergraph visualizations. In this paper we consider visualizing spatial hypergraphs,…
In a planar L-drawing of a directed graph (digraph) each edge e is represented as a polyline composed of a vertical segment starting at the tail of e and a horizontal segment ending at the head of e. Distinct edges may overlap, but not…
In this paper, we prove that every planar graph has a 1-string $B_2$-VPG representation---a string representation using paths in a rectangular grid that contain at most two bends. Furthermore, two paths representing vertices $u,v$ intersect…
We examine semi-bar visibility graphs in the plane and on a cylinder in which sightlines can pass through k objects. We show every semi-bar k-visibility graph has a (k+2)-quasiplanar representation in the plane with vertices drawn as points…
The vertex connectivity of a graph $G$ is the size of the smallest set of vertices $S$ such that $G \setminus S$ is disconnected. For the class of planar graphs, the problem of vertex connectivity is well-studied, both from structural and…
Let G(V,E) be a simple graph and let X subset of V. Two vertices u and v are said to be X-visible if there exists a shortest u,v-path P such that V(P) intersection X is a subset of {u, v}. A set X is called a mutual-visibility set of G if…
In this short note, we show two NP-completeness results regarding the \emph{simultaneous representation problem}, introduced by Lubiw and Jampani. The simultaneous representation problem for a given class of intersection graphs asks if some…
