Drawing Planar Graphs with Circular Arcs
In this paper we address the problem of drawing planar graphs with circular arcs while maintaining good angular resolution and small drawing area. We present a lower bound on the a...

A Fast General Methodology for Information - Theoretically Optimal Encodings of Graphs
We propose a fast methodology for encoding graphs with information-theoretically minimum numbers of bits. Specifically, a graph with property π is called a π-graph. If π satis...

An External Memory Data Structure for Shortest Path Queries
We present results related to satisfying shortest path queries on a planar graph stored in external memory. Let N denote the number of vertices in the graph and let sort(N) denote...

Approximation Schemes for Steiner Forest on Planar Graphs and Graphs of Bounded Treewidth
We give the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner forest problem on planar graphs and, more generally, on graphs of bounded genus. As a first step, w...

Adding one edge to planar graphs makes crossing number hard
A graph is near-planar if it can be obtained from a planar graph by adding an edge. We show that it is NP-hard to compute the crossing number of near-planar graphs. The main idea ...

Fixed-Parameter Algorithms for the (k, r)-Center in Planar Graphs and Map Graphs
The (k, r)-center problem asks whether an input graph G has ≤ k vertices (called centers) such that every vertex of G is within distance ≤ r from some center. In this paper we ...

Generating Labeled Planar Graphs Uniformly at Random
Abstract. We present an expected polynomial time algorithm to generate a labeled planar graph uniformly at random. To generate the planar graphs, we derive recurrence formulas that...

Intersection-Free Morphing of Planar Graphs
Given two different drawings of a planar graph we consider the problem of morphing one drawing into the other. We designed and implemented an algorithm for intersection-free morph...

Simultaneous Embedding of Planar Graphs with Few Bends
We present an O(n) time algorithm for simultaneous embedding of pairs of planar graphs on the O(n2 )×O(n2 ) grid, with at most three bends per edge, where n is the number of verti...
