In the minimum planarization problem, given some $n$-vertex graph, the goal is to find a set of vertices of minimum cardinality whose removal leaves a planar graph. This is a fundamental problem in topological graph theory. We present a…
A fan is a set of edges with a single common endpoint. A graph is fan-crossing if it admits a drawing in the plane so that each edge is crossed by edges of a fan. It is fan-planar if, in addition, the common endpoint is on the same side of…
Computing a shortest path between two nodes in an undirected unweighted graph is among the most basic algorithmic tasks. Breadth first search solves this problem in linear time, which is clearly also a lower bound in the worst case.…
A temporal graph is a graph whose edges only appear at certain points in time. Reachability in these graphs is defined in terms of paths that traverse the edges in chronological order (temporal paths). This form of reachability is neither…
Counting the number of triangles in a graph has many important applications in network analysis. Several frequently computed metrics like the clustering coefficient and the transitivity ratio need to count the number of triangles in the…
The segment number of a planar graph $G$ is the smallest number of line segments needed for a planar straight-line drawing of $G$. Dujmovi\'c, Eppstein, Suderman, and Wood [CGTA'07] introduced this measure for the visual complexity of…
A tripartite-circle drawing of a tripartite graph is a drawing in the plane, where each part of a vertex partition is placed on one of three disjoint circles, and the edges do not cross the circles. The tripartite-circle crossing number of…
A 1-plane graph is a graph together with a drawing in the plane in such a way that each edge is crossed at most once. A 1-plane graph is maximal if no edge can be added without violating either 1-planarity or simplicity. Let $m(n)$ denote…
A graph is IC-planar if it admits a drawing in the plane with at most one crossing per edge and such that two pairs of crossing edges share no common end vertex. IC-planarity specializes both NIC-planarity, which allows a pair of crossing…
The \emph{segment number} of a planar graph is the smallest number of line segments whose union represents a crossing-free straight-line drawing of the given graph in the plane. The segment number is a measure for the visual complexity of a…
Reeb graphs are simple topological descriptors with applications in many areas like topological data analysis and computational geometry. Despite their prevalence, visualization of Reeb graphs has received less attention. In this paper, we…
Treewidth is an important structural graph parameter that quantifies how closely a graph resembles a tree-like structure. It has applications in many algorithmic and combinatorial problems. In this paper, we study the treewidth of outer…
Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in general position in the plane. Join every pair of points in $S$ with a straight line segment. Let $\overline{cr}(S)$ be number of pairs of these edges that intersect in their interior. Suppose that this…
In a drawing of a clustered graph vertices and edges are drawn as points and curves, respectively, while clusters are represented by simple closed regions. A drawing of a clustered graph is c-planar if it has no edge-edge, edge-region, or…
We present an algorithm that computes the girth of the intersection graph of $n$ given line segments in the plane in $O(n^{1.483})$ expected time. This is the first such algorithm with $O(n^{3/2-\varepsilon})$ running time for a positive…
The treewidth of a graph is an important invariant in structural and algorithmic graph theory. This paper studies the treewidth of line graphs. We show that determining the treewidth of the line graph of a graph $G$ is equivalent to…
We consider a the minimum k-way cut problem for unweighted graphs with a size bound s on the number of cut edges allowed. Thus we seek to remove as few edges as possible so as to split a graph into k components, or report that this requires…
Given a fixed positive integer $k$, the $k$-planar local crossing number of a graph $G$, denoted by $\text{LCR}_k(G)$, is the minimum positive integer $L$ such that $G$ can be decomposed into $k$ subgraphs, each of which can be drawn in a…
Given a graph drawn in the plane, the degenerate crossing number of the drawing is the number of points in the plane which are contained in the relative interior of at least two edges, where each edge is required to be drawn as a simple…
In this paper, we show that it is NP-hard to determine whether a given graph admits a min-1-planar drawing. A drawing of a graph is min-$k$-planar if, for every crossing in the drawing, at least one of the two crossing edges involves at…
