We present an efficient algorithm for a problem in the interface between clustering and graph embeddings. An embedding $\varphi:G\rightarrow M$ of a graph $G$ into a 2-manifold $M$ maps the vertices in $V(G)$ to distinct points and the…

The Planar Steiner Tree problem is one of the most fundamental NP-complete problems as it models many network design problems. Recall that an instance of this problem consists of a graph with edge weights, and a subset of vertices (often…

The matching book thickness of a graph is the least number of pages in a book embedding such that each page is a matching. A graph is dispersable if its matching book thickness equals its maximum degree. Minimum page matching book…

Coudert et al. (SODA'18) proved that under the Strong Exponential-Time Hypothesis, for any $\epsilon >0$, there is no ${\cal O}(2^{o(k)}n^{2-\epsilon})$-time algorithm for computing the diameter within the $n$-vertex cubic graphs of…

Computing the Euler genus of a graph is a fundamental problem in graph theory and topology. It has been shown to be NP-hard by [Thomassen '89] and a linear-time fixed-parameter algorithm has been obtained by [Mohar '99]. Despite extensive…

In the area of beyond-planar graphs, i.e. graphs that can be drawn with some local restrictions on the edge crossings, the recognition problem is prominent next to the density question for the different graph classes. For 1-planar graphs,…

An $\ell$-page stack layout (also known as an $\ell$-page book embedding) of a graph is a linear order of the vertex set together with a partition of the edge set into $\ell$ stacks (or pages), such that the endpoints of no two edges on the…

Graph embedding is a transformation of nodes of a graph into a set of vectors. A~good embedding should capture the graph topology, node-to-node relationship, and other relevant information about the graph, its subgraphs, and nodes. If these…

We initiate the study of computational complexity of graph coverings, aka locally bijective graph homomorphisms, for {\em graphs with semi-edges}. The notion of graph covering is a discretization of coverings between surfaces or topological…
