A strict orthogonal drawing of a graph $G=(V, E)$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is a drawing of $G$ such that each vertex is mapped to a distinct point and each edge is mapped to a horizontal or vertical line segment. A graph $G$ is $HV$-restricted if…

We show a polynomial-time algorithm for testing c-planarity of embedded flat clustered graphs with at most two vertices per cluster on each face.

In this paper, we analyze embeddings of grid graphs on orientable surfaces. We determine the genus of a large class of k-dimensional grid graphs and effective two-sided bounds for the genus of any 3-dimensional grid graph, both in terms of…

Any planar graph has a crossing-free straight-line drawing in the plane. A simultaneous geometric embedding of two n-vertex graphs is a straight-line drawing of both graphs on a common set of n points, such that the edges withing each…

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 devoted to the construction of norm-preserving maps between bounded cohomology groups. For a graph of groups with amenable edge groups we construct an isometric embedding of the direct sum of the bounded cohomology of the…

Graph embeddings deal with injective maps from a given simple, undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ into a metric space, such as $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the Euclidean metric. This concept is widely studied in computer science, see \cite{ge1}, but also…

Fan-planar graphs were recently introduced as a generalization of 1-planar graphs. A graph is fan-planar if it can be embedded in the plane, such that each edge that is crossed more than once, is crossed by a bundle of two or more edges…

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…

When can a unimodular random planar graph be drawn in the Euclidean or the hyperbolic plane in a way that the distribution of the random drawing is isometry-invariant? This question was answered for one-ended unimodular graphs in…

A graph drawing in the plane is called an almost embedding if the images of any two non-adjacent simplices (i.e. vertices or edges) are disjoint. Almost embeddings (more precisely, their higher-dimensional analogues) naturally appear in…

The clustered planarity problem (c-planarity) asks whether a hierarchically clustered graph admits a planar drawing such that the clusters can be nicely represented by regions. We introduce the cd-tree data structure and give a new…

In this note, we propose a straightforward method to produce an straight-line embedding of a planar graph where one face of a graph is fixed in the plane as a star-shaped polygon. It is based on minimizing discrete Dirichlet energies,…

Graph encoder embedding, a recent technique for graph data, offers speed and scalability in producing vertex-level representations from binary graphs. In this paper, we extend the applicability of this method to a general graph model, which…

A graph G is {\xi}-nearly planar if it can be embedded in the sphere so that each of its edges is crossed at most {\xi} times. The family of {\xi}-nearly planar graphs is widely extending the notion of planarity. We introduce an alternative…

Consider an ergodic unimodular random one-ended planar graph $\G$ of finite expected degree. We prove that it has an isometry-invariant locally finite embedding in the Euclidean plane if and only if it is invariantly amenable. By "locally…
