A Polynomial-Time Approximation Scheme for Weighted Planar Graph TSP
Given a planar graph on n nodes with costs weights on its edges, de ne the distance between nodes i and j as the length of the shortest path between i and j. Consider this as an i...

Approximation schemes for minimum 2-edge-connected and biconnected subgraphs in planar graphs
Given an undirected graph, finding either a minimum 2-edge-connected spanning subgraph or a minimum 2vertex-connected (biconnected) spanning subgraph is MaxSNP-hard. We show that ...

Pointed Drawings of Planar Graphs
We study the problem how to draw a planar graph such that every vertex is incident to an angle greater than π. In general a straightline embedding cannot guarantee this property....

Computing the Girth of a Planar Graph
We give an O(n log n) algorithm for computing the girth (shortest cycle) of an undirected n-vertex planar graph. Our solution extends to any graph of bounded genus. This improves u...

How randomized search heuristics find maximum cliques in planar graphs
Surprisingly, general search heuristics often solve combinatorial problems quite sufficiently, although they do not outperform specialized algorithms. Here, the behavior of simple...

Morphing Planar Graphs in Spherical Space
We consider the problem of intersection-free planar graph morphing, and in particular, a generalization from Euclidean space to spherical space. We show that there exists a continu...

Simultaneous Graph Embedding with Bends and Circular Arcs
Abstract. We consider the problem of simultaneous embedding of planar graphs. We demonstrate how to simultaneously embed a path and an n-level planar graph and how to use radial em...

Reachability in K3, 3-Free Graphs and K5-Free Graphs Is in Unambiguous Log-Space
We show that the reachability problem for directed graphs that are either K3,3-free or K5-free is in unambiguous log-space, UL coUL. This significantly extends the result of Bour...

Shape Classification Using a Flexible Graph Kernel
The medial axis being an homotopic transformation, the skeleton of a 2D shape corresponds to a planar graph having one face for each hole of the shape and one node for each junctio...

A Framework for Drawing Planar Graphs with Curves and Polylines
We describe a unified framework of aesthetic criteria and complexity measures for drawing planar graphs with polylines and curves. This framework includes several visual properties...
