Strict outerconfluent drawing is a style of graph drawing in which vertices are drawn on the boundary of a disk, adjacencies are indicated by the existence of smooth curves through a system of tracks within the disk, and no two adjacent…
We define strict confluent drawing, a form of confluent drawing in which the existence of an edge is indicated by the presence of a smooth path through a system of arcs and junctions (without crossings), and in which such a path, if it…
A straight-line drawing of a graph is a monotone drawing if for each pair of vertices there is a path which is monotonically increasing in some direction, and it is called a strongly monotone drawing if the direction of monotonicity is…
An outerstring graph is an intersection graph of curves that lie in a common half-plane and have one endpoint on the boundary of that half-plane. We prove that the class of outerstring graphs is $\chi$-bounded, which means that their…
In this paper, we introduce a new approach for drawing diagrams that have applications in software visualization. Our approach is to use a technique we call confluent drawing for visualizing non-planar diagrams in a planar way. This…
In a planar confluent orthogonal drawing (PCOD) of a directed graph (digraph) vertices are drawn as points in the plane and edges as orthogonal polylines starting with a vertical segment and ending with a horizontal segment. Edges may…
A graph is pseudo-outerplanar if each of its blocks has an embedding in the plane so that the vertices lie on a fixed circle and the edges lie inside the disk of this circle with each of them crossing at most one another. It is proved that…
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…
In \emph{smooth orthogonal layouts} of planar graphs, every edge is an alternating sequence of axis-aligned segments and circular arcs with common axis-aligned tangents. In this paper, we study the problem of finding smooth orthogonal…
The intersection graph of a family of sets $\{S_{1},S_{2},\ldots,S_{n}\}$ is a graph whose vertex set is $\{S_{1},S_{2},\ldots,S_{n}\}$ and two distinct vertices are adjacent if the intersection of the corresponding sets is non-empty.…
An \emph{outer-RAC drawing} of a graph is a straight-line drawing where all vertices are incident to the outer cell and all edge crossings occur at a right angle. If additionally, all crossing edges are either horizontal or vertical, we…
We investigate string graphs through the lens of graph product structure theory, which describes complicated graphs as subgraphs of strong products of simpler building blocks. A graph $G$ is called a string graph if its vertices can be…
Strictly-convex straight-line drawings of $3$-connected planar graphs in small area form a classical research topic in Graph Drawing. Currently, the best-known area bound for such drawings is $O(n^2) \times O(n^2)$, as shown by…
A graph is a mathematical object consisting of a set of vertices and a set of edges connecting vertices. Graphs can be drawn on paper in various ways, but until recently all published methods of drawing graphs have had undesirable…
Topological drawings are natural representations of graphs in the plane, where vertices are represented by points, and edges by curves connecting the points. Topological drawings of complete graphs and of complete bipartite graphs have been…
A string graph is an intersection graph of curves in the plane. A $k$-string graph is a graph with a string representation in which every pair of curves intersects in at most $k$ points. We introduce the class of $(=k)$-string graphs as a…
We consider straight-line outerplanar drawings of outerplanar graphs in which a small number of distinct edge slopes are used, that is, the segments representing edges are parallel to a small number of directions. We prove that $\Delta-1$…
Strictly Chordality-k graphs (SC_k graphs) are graphs which are either cycle free or every induced cycle is exactly k, for some fixed k, k \geq 3. Note that k = 3 and k = 4 are precisely the Chordal graphs and Chordal Bipartite graphs,…
A graph is beyond-planar if it can be drawn in the plane with a specific restriction on crossings. Several types of beyond-planar graphs have been investigated, such as k-planar if every edge is crossed at most k times and RAC if edges can…
A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn in the plane so that each edge is crossed at most once. However, there are 1-planar graphs which do not admit a straight-line 1-planar drawing. We show that every 1-planar graph has a straight-line…
