We propose a new algorithm for finding the center of a graph, as well as the rank of each node in the hierarchy of distances to the center. In other words, our algorithm allows to partition the graph according to nodes distance to the…
A (possibly denerate) drawing of a graph $G$ in the plane is approximable by an embedding if it can be turned into an embedding by an arbitrarily small perturbation. We show that testing, whether a straight-line drawing of a planar graph…

Deciding whether a graph can be embedded in a grid using only unit-length edges is NP-complete, even when restricted to binary trees. However, it is not difficult to devise a number of graph classes for which the problem is polynomial, even…
