In this paper we consider the problem of drawing a planar graph using circular arcs as edges, given a one-to-one mapping between the vertices of the graph and a set of points in t...
We show for several planar and geometric problems that the best known approximation schemes are essentially optimal with respect to the dependence on ǫ. For example, we show that...
ABSTRACT. The maximum independent set problem (MAXIS) on general graphs is known to be NPhard to approximate within a factor of n1-, for any > 0. However, there are many "...

We describe three applications in computational learning theory of techniques and ideas recently introduced in the study of parameterized computational complexity. (1) Using param...

We consider the following problem known as simultaneous geometric graph embedding (SGE). Given a set of planar graphs on a shared vertex set, decide whether the vertices can be pla...
