We investigate two optimization problems on area-proportional rectangle contact representations for layered, embedded planar graphs. The vertices are represented as interior-disjoint unit-height rectangles of prescribed widths, grouped in…

Suppose that $A$ is a convex body in the plane and that $A_1,\dots,A_n$ are translates of $A$. Such translates give rise to an intersection graph of $A$, $G=(V,E)$, with vertices $V=\{1,\dots,n\}$ and edges $E=\{uv\mid A_u\cap A_v\neq…

We present a novel approach to morph between two isometric poses of the same non-rigid object given as triangular meshes. We model the morphs as linear interpolations in a suitable shape space $\mathcal{S}$. For triangulated 3D polygons, we…

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…

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…

In this paper we consider Contact graphs of Paths on a Grid (CPG graphs), i.e. graphs for which there exists a family of interiorly disjoint paths on a grid in one-to-one correspondence with their vertex set such that two vertices are…

The L-intersection graphs are the graphs that have a representation as intersection graphs of axis parallel shapes in the plane. A subfamily of these graphs are {L, |, --}-contact graphs which are the contact graphs of axis parallel L, |,…

Let $G$ be a graph embedded in a surface and let $\mathcal F$ be a set of even faces of $G$ (faces bounded by a cycle of even length). The resonance graph of $G$ with respect to $\mathcal F$, denoted by $R(G;\mathcal F)$, is a graph such…

We present simpler algorithms for two closely related morphing problems, both based on the barycentric interpolation paradigm introduced by Floater and Gotsman, which is in turn based on Floater's asymmetric extension of Tutte's classical…
