We consider spanning trees of $n$ points in convex position whose edges are pairwise non-crossing. Applying a flip to such a tree consists in adding an edge and removing another so that the result is still a non-crossing spanning tree.…
A flip in a plane spanning tree $T$ is the operation of removing one edge from $T$ and adding another edge such that the resulting structure is again a plane spanning tree. For trees on a set of points in convex position we study two…
A non-crossing spanning tree of a set of points in the plane is a spanning tree whose edges pairwise do not cross. Avis and Fukuda in 1996 proved that there always exists a flip sequence of length at most $2n-4$ between any pair of…
We consider the problem of reconfiguring non-crossing spanning trees on point sets. For a set $P$ of $n$ points in general position in the plane, the flip graph $F(P)$ has a vertex for each non-crossing spanning tree on $P$ and an edge…
For a set $P$ of $n$ points in general position in the plane, the flip graph $F(P)$ has a vertex for each non-crossing spanning tree on $P$ and an edge between any two spanning trees that can be transformed into each other by one edge flip.…
We study the reconfiguration of plane spanning trees on point sets in the plane in convex position, where a reconfiguration step (flip) replaces one edge with another, yielding again a plane spanning tree. The flip distance between two…
A perfect straight-line matching $M$ on a finite set $P$ of points in the plane is a set of segments such that each point in $P$ is an endpoint of exactly one segment. $M$ is non-crossing if no two segments in $M$ cross each other. Given a…
In a reconfiguration problem, given a problem and two feasible solutions of the problem, the task is to find a sequence of transformations to reach from one solution to the other such that every intermediate state is also a feasible…
We investigate the complexity of finding a transformation from a given spanning tree in a graph to another given spanning tree in the same graph via a sequence of edge flips. The exchange property of the matroid bases immediately yields…
We study an old geometric optimization problem in the plane. Given a perfect matching $M$ on a set of $n$ points in the plane, we can transform it to a non-crossing perfect matching by a finite sequence of flip operations. The flip…
The operation of transforming one spanning tree into another by replacing an edge has been considered widely, both for general and planar straight-line graphs. For the latter, several variants have been studied (e.g., edge slides and edge…
A set of n segments in the plane may form a Euclidean TSP tour, a tree, or a matching, among others. Optimal TSP tours as well as minimum spanning trees and perfect matchings have no crossing segments, but several heuristics and…
Flip graphs of non-crossing configurations in the plane are widely studied objects, e.g., flip graph of triangulations, spanning trees, Hamiltonian cycles, and perfect matchings. Typically, it is an easy exercise to prove connectivity of a…
We revisit several maximization problems for geometric networks design under the non-crossing constraint, first studied by Alon, Rajagopalan and Suri (ACM Symposium on Computational Geometry, 1993). Given a set of $n$ points in the plane in…
A spanning tree of a graph $G$ is a connected acyclic spanning subgraph of $G$. We consider enumeration of spanning trees when $G$ is a $2$-tree, meaning that $G$ is obtained from one edge by iteratively adding a vertex whose neighborhood…
Let $R$ and $B$ be a set of red points and a set of blue points in the plane, respectively, such that $R\cup B$ is in general position, and let $f:R \to \{2,3,4, \ldots \}$ be a function. We show that if $2\le |B|\le \sum_{x\in R}(f(x)-2) +…
We present a linear programming based algorithm for computing a spanning tree $T$ of a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\Re^d$, such that its crossing number is $O(\min(t \log n, n^{1-1/d}))$, where $t$ the minimum crossing number of any spanning…
In this paper we investigate the structure of flip graphs on non-crossing perfect matchings in the plane. Specifically, consider all non-crossing straight-line perfect matchings on a set of $2n$ points that are placed equidistantly on the…
This paper is a contribution to the problem of counting geometric graphs on point sets. More concretely, we look at the maximum numbers of non-crossing spanning trees and forests. We show that the so-called double chain point configuration…
A spanning tree of an unweighted graph is a minimum average stretch spanning tree if it minimizes the ratio of sum of the distances in the tree between the end vertices of the graph edges and the number of graph edges. We consider the…
