Abstract

In this paper, we present a polynomial dynamic programming algorithm that tests whether a nn-vertex directed tree TT has an upward planar embedding into a convex point-set SS of size nn. Further, we extend our approach to the class of outerplanar digraphs. This nontrivial and surprising result implies that any given digraph can be efficiently tested for an upward planar embedding into a given convex point set.
