The unit distance embeddability of a graph, like planarity, involves a mix of constraints that are combinatorial and geometric. We construct a unit distance embedding for $H-e$ in the hope that it will lead to an embedding for $H$. We then…
A graph is called a $k$-planar unit distance graph if it can be drawn in the plane such that every edge is a unit line segment and is involved in at most $k$ crossings. We investigate $u_k(n)$, the maximum number of edges of such graphs on…
Any planar graph has a crossing-free straight-line drawing in the plane. A simultaneous geometric embedding of two n-vertex graphs is a straight-line drawing of both graphs on a common set of n points, such that the edges withing each…
We show that there are $O(n \cdot 4^{n/11})$ planar graphs on $n$ vertices which do not admit a simultaneous straight-line embedding on any $n$-point set in the plane. In particular, this improves the best known bound $O(n!)$ significantly.
A (possibly denerate) drawing of a graph $G$ in the plane is approximable by an embedding if it can be turned into an embedding by an arbitrarily small perturbation. We show that testing, whether a straight-line drawing of a planar graph…
A random geometric graph, $G(n,r)$, is formed by choosing $n$ points independently and uniformly at random in a unit square; two points are connected by a straight-line edge if they are at Euclidean distance at most $r$. For a given…
We show that every outerplanar graph $G$ can be linearly embedded in the plane such that the number of distinct distances between pairs of adjacent vertices is at most thirteen and there is no intersection between the image of a vertex and…
We improve the best known upper bound on the number of edges in a unit-distance graph on $n$ vertices for each $n\in\{16,\ldots,30\}$. When $n\leq 21$, our bounds match the best known lower bounds, and we fully enumerate the densest…
A graph is near-planar if it can be obtained from a planar graph by adding an edge. We show the surprising fact that it is NP-hard to compute the crossing number of near-planar graphs. A graph is 1-planar if it has a drawing where every…
Thomassen characterized some 1-plane embedding as the forbidden configuration such that a given 1-plane embedding of a graph is drawable in straight-lines if and only if it does not contain the configuration [C. Thomassen, Rectilinear…
We study cross-graph charging schemes for graphs drawn in the plane. These are charging schemes where charge is moved across vertices of different graphs. Such methods have been recently applied to obtain various properties of…
A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn in the plane so that each edge is crossed at most once. However, there are 1-planar graphs which do not admit a straight-line 1-planar drawing. We show that every 1-planar graph has a straight-line…
We explore various techniques for counting the number of straight-edge crossing-free graphs that can be embedded on a planar point set. In particular, we derive a lower bound on the ratio of the number of such graphs with $m+1$ edges to the…
A drawing of a graph is fan-planar if the edges intersecting a common edge $a$ share a vertex $A$ on the same side of $a$. More precisely, orienting $e$ arbitrarily and the other edges towards $A$ results in a consistent orientation of the…
We prove that a graph on up to 9 vertices is a unit-distance graph if and only if it does not contain one of 74 so-called minimal forbidden graphs. This extends the work of Chilakamarri and Mahoney (1995), who provide a similar…
A matchstick graph is a plane graph with edges drawn as unit distance line segments. This class of graphs was introduced by Harborth who conjectured that a matchstick graph on $n$ vertices can have at most $\lfloor 3n - \sqrt{12n -…
Given a planar graph $G$, we consider drawings of $G$ in the plane where edges are represented by straight line segments (which possibly intersect). Such a drawing is specified by an injective embedding $\pi$ of the vertex set of $G$ into…
Vertex connectivity and edge connectivity are fundamental concepts in graph theory that have been widely studied from both structural and algorithmic perspectives. The focus of this paper is on computing these two parameters for graphs…
We study the problem of embedding graphs in the plane as good geometric spanners. That is, for a graph $G$, the goal is to construct a straight-line drawing $\Gamma$ of $G$ in the plane such that, for any two vertices $u$ and $v$ of $G$,…
Graphs drawn in the plane are ubiquitous, arising from data sets through a variety of methods ranging from GIS analysis to image classification to shape analysis. A fundamental problem in this type of data is comparison: given a set of such…
