Drawing a graph in the plane with as few crossings as possible is one of the central problems in graph drawing and computational geometry. Another option is to remove the smallest number of vertices or edges such that the remaining graph…

A \emph{$(k,t)$-track layout} of a graph $G$ consists of a (proper) vertex $t$-colouring of $G$, a total order of each vertex colour class, and a (non-proper) edge $k$-colouring such that between each pair of colour classes no two…

An $h$-queue layout of a graph $G$ consists of a linear order of its vertices and a partition of its edges into $h$ queues, such that no two independent edges of the same queue nest. The minimum $h$ such that $G$ admits an $h$-queue layout…

We present a prototype online system to automate the procedure of computing different types of linear layouts of graphs under different user-specific constraints. Currently, four different types of linear layouts are supported: stack,…

Planar drawings of graphs tend to be favored over non-planar drawings. Testing planarity and creating a planar layout of a planar graph can be done in linear time. However, creating readable drawings of nearly planar graphs remains a…

In the Segment Intersection Graph Representation Problem, we want to represent the vertices of a graph as straight line segments in the plane such that two segments cross if and only if there is an edge between the corresponding vertices.…

A k-page book embedding of a graph G draws the vertices of G on a line and the edges on k half-planes (called pages) bounded by this line, such that no two edges on the same page cross. We study the problem of determining whether G admits a…

A \emph{queue layout} of a graph consists of a \emph{linear order} of its vertices and a partition of its edges into \emph{queues}, so that no two independent edges of the same queue are nested. The \emph{queue number} of a graph is the…

A "book" with k pages consists of a straight line (the "spine") and k half-planes (the "pages"), such that the boundary of each page is the spine. If a graph is drawn on a book with k pages in such a way that the vertices lie on the spine,…

We present a new model for hybrid planarity that relaxes existing hybrid representations. A graph $G = (V,E)$ is $(k,p)$-planar if $V$ can be partitioned into clusters of size at most $k$ such that $G$ admits a drawing where: (i) each…

The crossing resolution of a non-planar drawing of a graph is the value of the minimum angle formed by any pair of crossing edges. Recent experiments have shown that the larger the crossing resolution is, the easier it is to read and…

Bipartite graphs model the relationships between two disjoint sets of entities in several applications and are naturally drawn as 2-layer graph drawings. In such drawings, the two sets of entities (vertices) are placed on two parallel lines…

Many variations of the classical graph coloring model have been intensively studied due to their multiple applications; scheduling problems and aircraft assignments, for instance, motivate the robust coloring problem. This model gets to…

In a vertex-colored graph, an edge is happy if its endpoints have the same color. Similarly, a vertex is happy if all its incident edges are happy. Motivated by the computation of homophily in social networks, we consider the algorithmic…

Matchings and coverings are central topics in graph theory. The close relationship between these two has been key to many fundamental algorithmic and polyhedral results. For mixed graphs, the notion of matching forest was proposed as a…

A {\it vertex-ordered} graph is a graph equipped with a linear ordering of its vertices. A pair of independent edges in an ordered graph can exhibit one of the following three patterns: separated, nested or crossing. We say a pair of…

An effective way to reduce clutter in a graph drawing that has (many) crossings is to group edges that travel in parallel into \emph{bundles}. Each edge can participate in many such bundles. Any crossing in this bundled graph occurs between…
