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…
We consider the minimization of edge-crossings in geometric drawings of graphs $G=(V, E)$, i.e., in drawings where each edge is depicted as a line segment. The respective decision problem is NP-hard [Bienstock, '91]. In contrast to theory…
We present a new heuristic method for minimising crossings in a graph. The method is based upon repeatedly solving the so-called {\em star insertion problem} in the setting where the combinatorial embedding is fixed, and has several…
We present a novel approach to graph drawing based on reinforcement learning for minimizing the global and the local crossing number, that is, the total number of edge crossings and the maximum number of crossings on any edge, respectively.…
We consider the task of drawing a graph on multiple horizontal layers, where each node is assigned a layer, and each edge connects nodes of different layers. Known algorithms determine the orders of nodes on each layer to minimize crossings…
We present a thorough experimental evaluation of several crossing minimization heuristics that are based on the construction and iterative improvement of a planarization, i.e., a planar representation of a graph with crossings replaced by…
The crossing angle of a straight-line drawing $\Gamma$ of a graph $G=(V, E)$ is the smallest angle between two crossing edges in $\Gamma$. Deciding whether a graph $G$ has a straight-line drawing with a crossing angle of $90^\circ$ is…
Drawing graphs with the minimum number of crossings is a classical problem that has been studied extensively. Many restricted versions of the problem have been considered. For example, bipartite graphs can be drawn such that the two sets in…

There exist many orthogonal graph drawing algorithms that minimize edge crossings or edge bends, however they produce unsatisfactory drawings in many practical cases. In this paper we present a grid-based algorithm for drawing orthogonal…

Graph search planning algorithms for navigation typically rely heavily on heuristics to efficiently plan paths. As a result, while such approaches require no training phase and can directly plan long horizon paths, they often require…
This paper presents the results of an experimental study of graph partitioning. We describe a new heuristic technique, path optimization, and its application to two variations of graph partitioning: the max_cut problem and the…
Getting a labeling of vertices close to the structure of the graph has been proved to be of interest in many applications e.g., to follow smooth signals indexed by the vertices of the network. This question can be related to a graph…
We present a new heuristic algorithm for computing a minimum Feedback Arc Set in directed graphs. The new technique produces solutions that are better than the ones produced by the best previously known heuristics, often reducing the FAS…
Circular layouts are a popular graph drawing style, where vertices are placed on a circle and edges are drawn as straight chords. Crossing minimization in circular layouts is \NP-hard. One way to allow for fewer crossings in practice are…
A dominating set of a graph $\mathcal{G=(V, E)}$ is a subset of vertices $S\subseteq\mathcal{V}$ such that every vertex $v\in \mathcal{V} \setminus S$ outside the dominating set is adjacent to a vertex $u\in S$ within the set. The minimum…
A straight-line drawing of a graph $G$ is a mapping which assigns to each vertex a point in the plane and to each edge a straight-line segment connecting the corresponding two points. The rectilinear crossing number of a graph $G$,…
Link prediction is a key problem for network-structured data. Link prediction heuristics use some score functions, such as common neighbors and Katz index, to measure the likelihood of links. They have obtained wide practical uses due to…
Finding the shortest path between two points in a graph is a fundamental problem that has been well-studied over the past several decades. Shortest path algorithms are commonly applied to modern navigation systems, so our study aims to…
