Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane, we solve the problems of constructing a geometric planar graph spanning $P$ 1) of minimum degree 2, and 2) which is 2-edge connected, respectively, and has max edge length bounded by a factor of 2…

If $G$ is a graph, then $X\subseteq V(G)$ is a general position set if for every two vertices $v,u\in X$ and every shortest $(u,v)$-path $P$, it holds that no inner vertex of $P$ lies in $X$. In this note we propose three algorithms to…

We study the problem of determining whether a given graph~$G=(V,E)$ admits a matching~$M$ whose removal destroys all odd cycles of~$G$ (or equivalently whether~$G-M$ is bipartite). This problem is equivalent to determine whether~$G$ admits…

A general (convex) polytope $P\subset\mathbb R^d$ and its edge-graph $G_P$ can have very distinct symmetry properties. We construct a coloring (of the vertices and edges) of the edge-graph so that the combinatorial symmetry group of the…

Ordered matchings, defined as graphs with linearly ordered vertices, where each vertex is connected to exactly one edge, play a crucial role in the area of ordered graphs and their homomorphisms. Therefore, we consider related problems from…

In this paper we introduce self-approaching graph drawings. A straight-line drawing of a graph is self-approaching if, for any origin vertex s and any destination vertex t, there is an st-path in the graph such that, for any point q on the…

We prove that if an $n$-vertex graph $G$ can be drawn in the plane such that each pair of crossing edges is independent and there is a crossing-free edge that connects their endpoints, then $G$ has $O(n)$ edges. Graphs that admit such…

Topological drawings are representations of graphs in the plane, where vertices are represented by points, and edges by simple curves connecting the points. A drawing is simple if two edges intersect at most in a single point, either at a…

A dominating induced matching, also called an efficient edge domination, of a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n=|V|$ vertices and $m=|E|$ edges is a subset $F \subseteq E$ of edges in the graph such that no two edges in $F$ share a common endpoint…

Bipartite graphs model the relationship between two disjoint sets of objects. They have a wide range of applications and are often visualized as a 2-layered drawing, where each set of objects is visualized as a set of vertices (points) on…

Hierarchical embedding constraints define a set of allowed cyclic orders for the edges incident to the vertices of a graph. These constraints are expressed in terms of FPQ-trees. FPQ-trees are a variant of PQ-trees that includes F-nodes in…

We initiate the study of Simultaneous Graph Embedding with Fixed Edges in the beyond planarity framework. In the QuaSEFE problem, we allow edge crossings, as long as each graph individually is drawn quasiplanar, that is, no three edges…

Given a planar straight-line graph $G=(V,E)$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$, a \emph{circumscribing polygon} of $G$ is a simple polygon $P$ whose vertex set is $V$, and every edge in $E$ is either an edge or an internal diagonal of $P$. A circumscribing…

A linear layout of a graph consists of a linear ordering of its vertices and a partition of its edges into pages such that the edges assigned to the same page obey some constraint. The two most prominent and widely studied types of linear…

Signed graphs are graphs with signed edges. They are commonly used to represent positive and negative relationships in social networks. While balance theory and clusterizable graphs deal with signed graphs to represent social interactions,…

Given a planar digraph $G$ and a positive even integer $k$, an embedding of $G$ in the plane is k-modal, if every vertex of $G$ is incident to at most $k$ pairs of consecutive edges with opposite orientations, i.e., the incoming and the…

Given a graph $ G $ with $ n $ vertices and a set $ S $ of $ n $ points in the plane, a point-set embedding of $ G $ on $ S $ is a planar drawing such that each vertex of $ G $ is mapped to a distinct point of $ S $. A straight-line…

Planar graphs can be represented as intersection graphs of different types of geometric objects in the plane, e.g., circles (Koebe, 1936), line segments (Chalopin \& Gon{\c{c}}alves, 2009), \textsc{L}-shapes (Gon{\c{c}}alves et al, 2018).…
