We give an algorithm to morph planar graph drawings that achieves small grid size at the expense of allowing a constant number of bends on each edge. The input is an $n$-vertex planar graph and two planar straight-line drawings of the graph…

We study contact representations of graphs in which vertices are represented by axis-aligned polyhedra in 3D and edges are realized by non-zero area common boundaries between corresponding polyhedra. We show that for every 3-connected…

We show that 4-connected plane triangulations can be redrawn such that edges are represented by straight segments and the vertices are covered by a set of at most $\sqrt{2n}$ lines each of them horizontal or vertical. The same holds for all…

In this note, we give answers to three questions from the paper [A. Das, Triameter of graphs, Discuss. Math. Graph Theory, 41 (2021), 601--616]. Namely, we obtain a tight lower bound for the triameter of trees in terms of order and number…

We study the 1-planar, quasi-planar, and fan-planar crossing number in comparison to the (unrestricted) crossing number of graphs. We prove that there are $n$-vertex 1-planar (quasi-planar, fan-planar) graphs such that any 1-planar…

A grid drawing of a graph maps vertices to grid points and edges to line segments that avoid grid points representing other vertices. We show that there is a number of grid points that some line segment of an arbitrary grid drawing must…

A visualized graph is a powerful tool for data analysis and synthesis tasks. In this case, the task of visualization constitutes not only in displaying vertices and edges according to the graph representation, but also in ensuring that the…

By a poly-line drawing of a graph G on n vertices we understand a drawing of G in the plane such that each edge is represented by a polygonal arc joining its two respective vertices. We call a turning point of a polygonal arc the bend. We…

In this paper, we investigate crossing-free 3D morphs between planar straight-line drawings. We show that, for any two (not necessarily topologically equivalent) planar straight-line drawings of an $n$-vertex planar graph, there exists a…

Consider the following problem: given a graph with edge costs and a subset Q of vertices, find a minimum-cost subgraph in which there are two edge-disjoint paths connecting every pair of vertices in Q. The problem is a failure-resilient…

Let $G$ be a planar $3$-graph (i.e., a planar graph with vertex degree at most three) with $n$ vertices. We present the first $O(n^2)$-time algorithm that computes a planar orthogonal drawing of $G$ with the minimum number of bends in the…

We prove that the spanning trees of any outerplanar triangulation $G$ can be listed so that any two consecutive spanning trees differ in an exchange of two edges that share an end vertex. For outerplanar graphs $G$ with faces of arbitrary…

Inspired by the artwork of Mark Lombardi, we study the problem of constructing orthogonal drawings where a small number of horizontal and vertical line segments covers all vertices. We study two problems on orthogonal drawings of planar…

The k-planar graphs, which are (usually with small values of k such as 1, 2, 3) subject to recent intense research, admit a drawing in which edges are allowed to cross, but each one edge is allowed to carry at most k crossings. In recently…

A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn on the plane so that each edge is crossed by no more than one other edge (and any pair of crossing edges cross only once). A non-1-planar graph $G$ is minimal if the graph $G-e$ is 1-planar for every…
