While orthogonal drawings have a long history, smooth orthogonal drawings have been introduced only recently. So far, only planar drawings or drawings with an arbitrary number of crossings per edge have been studied. Recently, a lot of…
For a positive integer $k$, the $k$-recolouring graph of a graph $G$ has as vertex set all proper $k$-colourings of $G$ with two $k$-colourings being adjacent if they differ by the colour of exactly one vertex. A result of Dyer et al.…
Call {\em i-hedrite} any 4-valent n-vertex plane graph, whose faces are 2-, 3- and 4-gons only and $p_2+p_3=i$. The edges of an i-hedrite, as of any Eulerian plane graph, are partitioned by its {\em central circuits}, i.e. those, which are…
Let $G$ be a connected graph and $L(G)$ the set of all integers $k$ such that $G$ contains a spanning tree with exactly $k$ leaves. We show that for a connected graph $G$, the set $L(G)$ is contiguous. It follows from work of Chen, Ren, and…
Wang and Lih in 2002 conjectured that every planar graph without adjacent triangles is 4-choosable. In this paper, we prove that every planar graph without any 4-cycle adjacent to two triangles is DP-4-colorable, which improves the results…
It is known that the vertex connectivity of a planar graph can be computed in linear time. We extend this result to the class of locally maximal 1-plane graphs: graphs that have an embedding with at most one crossing per edge such that the…
We consider the problem of stretching pseudolines in a planar straight-line drawing to straight lines while preserving the straightness and the combinatorial embedding of the drawing. We answer open questions by Mchedlidze et al. by showing…
introduce {\sc Planar Disjoint Paths Completion}, a completion counterpart of the Disjoint Paths problem, and study its parameterized complexity. The problem can be stated as follows: given a, not necessarily connected, plane graph $G,$ $k$…
A tuple (s1,t1,s2,t2) of vertices in a simple undirected graph is 2-linked when there are two vertex-disjoint paths respectively from s1 to t1 and s2 to t2. A graph is 2-linked when all such tuples are 2-linked. We give a new and simple…
It is proved that every series-parallel digraph whose maximum vertex-degree is $\Delta$ admits an upward planar drawing with at most one bend per edge such that each edge segment has one of $\Delta$ distinct slopes. This is shown to be…
The weak variant of Hanani-Tutte theorem says that a graph is planar, if it can be drawn in the plane so that every pair of edges cross an even number of times. Moreover, we can turn such a drawing into an embedding without changing the…
Untangling is a process in which some vertices of a planar graph are moved to obtain a straight-line plane drawing. The aim is to move as few vertices as possible. We present an algorithm that untangles the cycle graph C_n while keeping at…
The aim of this work is to prove that the connected parts of Farey complex structure in plane are triangles or quadrangles. To do this work we go back to plane convex polygones with oriented edge for wich we prove that if two consecutive…
Barnette conjectured that all cubic $3$-connected plane graphs with maximum face size at most $6$ are hamiltonian. We provide a method of construction of a hamiltonian cycle (in dual terms) in an arbitrary cubic, $3$-connected plane graph…
This paper studies planar drawings of graphs in which each vertex is represented as a point along a sequence of horizontal lines, called levels, and each edge is either a horizontal segment or a strictly $y$-monotone curve. A graph is…
Planar bipartite graphs can be represented as touching graphs of horizontal and vertical segments in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We study a generalization in space: touching graphs of axis-aligned rectangles in $\mathbb{R}^3$, and prove that planar…
We prove that the set of directions of lines intersecting three disjoint balls in $R^3$ in a given order is a strictly convex subset of $S^2$. We then generalize this result to $n$ disjoint balls in $R^d$. As a consequence, we can improve…
The task of finding an extension to a given partial drawing of a graph while adhering to constraints on the representation has been extensively studied in the literature, with well-known results providing efficient algorithms for…
In this paper we discuss face numbers of generalised triangulations of manifolds in arbitrary dimensions. This is motivated by the study of triangulations of simply connected $4$-manifolds: We observe that, for a triangulation $\mathcal{T}$…
This note is on the structures of line graphs and 2-variegated graphs. We have given here solutions of some graph equations involving line graphs and 2-variegated graphs.
