We characterise $t$-perfect plane triangulations by forbidden induced subgraphs. As a consequence, we obtain that a plane triangulation is $h$-perfect if and only if it is perfect.
A plane near-triangulation G can be decomposed into a collection of induced subgraphs, described here as the W-components of G, such that G is perfect (respectively, chordal) if and only if each of its W-components is perfect (respectively,…
We study straight-line drawings of planar graphs with prescribed face areas. A plane graph is 'area-universal' if for every area assignment on the inner faces, there exists a straight-line drawing realizing the prescribed areas. For…
In this study we consider the problem of triangulated graphs. Precisely we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a graph to be triangulated. This give an alternative characterization of triangulated graphs. Our method is based on…
We study the minimum degree necessary to guarantee the existence of perfect and almost-perfect triangle-tilings in an $n$-vertex graph $G$ with sublinear independence number. In this setting, we show that if $\delta(G) \ge n/3 + o(n)$ then…
A plane graph is rectilinear planar if it admits an embedding-preserving straight-line drawing where each edge is either horizontal or vertical. We prove that rectilinear planarity testing can be solved in optimal $O(n)$ time for any plane…
A plane graph is called a rectangular graph if each of its edges can be oriented either horizontally or vertically, each of its interior regions is a four-sided region and all interior regions can be fitted in a rectangular enclosure. Only…
We prove that a triangulation of the projective plane is (strongly) $t$-perfect if and only if it is perfect and contains no $K_4$.
A bottleneck plane perfect matching of a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is defined to be a perfect non-crossing matching that minimizes the length of the longest edge; the length of this longest edge is known as {\em bottleneck}. The…
The perfect matching complex of a simple graph $G$ is a simplicial complex having facets (maximal faces) as the perfect matchings of $G$. This article discusses the perfect matching complex of polygonal line tilings and the $\left(2 \times…

A graph is rectilinear planar if it admits a planar orthogonal drawing without bends. While testing rectilinear planarity is NP-hard in general (Garg and Tamassia, 2001), it is a long-standing open problem to establish a tight upper bound…
A graph is $k$-planar if it can be drawn in the plane such that no edge is crossed more than $k$ times. While for $k=1$, optimal $1$-planar graphs, i.e., those with $n$ vertices and exactly $4n-8$ edges, have been completely characterized,…
Given n red and n blue points in general position in the plane, it is well-known that there is a perfect matching formed by non-crossing line segments. We characterize the bichromatic point sets which admit exactly one non-crossing…
Given a finite point set P in general position in the plane, a full triangulation is a maximal straight-line embedded plane graph on P. A partial triangulation is a full triangulation of some subset P' of P containing all extreme points in…
In this paper, we establish two necessary conditions for a joint triangulation of two sets of $n$ points in the plane and conjecture that they are sufficient. We show that these necessary conditions can be tested in $O(n^3)$ time. For the…
For all $k \geq 1$, we show that deciding whether a graph is $k$-planar is NP-complete, extending the well-known fact that deciding 1-planarity is NP-complete. Furthermore, we show that the gap version of this decision problem is…
We establish a best-possible minimum codegree condition for the existence of a perfect tiling of a $3$-uniform hypergraph $H$ with copies of the generalised triangle $T$, which is the 3-uniform hypergraph with five vertices $a, b, c, d, e$…
Suppose $G$ is a graph with degrees bounded by $d$, and one needs to remove more than $\epsilon n$ of its edges in order to make it planar. We show that in this case the statistics of local neighborhoods around vertices of $G$ is far from…
A convex geometric graph is a graph whose vertices are the corners of a convex polygon P in the plane and whose edges are boundary edges and diagonals of the polygon. It is called triangulation-free if its non-boundary edges do not contain…
