Given a graph $G$ and a pair $\langle e',e''\rangle$ of distinct edges of $G$, an edge-edge addition on $\langle e',e''\rangle$ is an operation that turns $G$ into a new graph $G'$ by subdividing edges $e'$ and $e''$ with a dummy vertex $v'$ and …
Consider the following combinatorial problem$:$ Given a planar graph $G$ and a set of simple cycles $\mathcal C$ in $G$, find a planar embedding $\mathcal E$ of $G$ such that the number of cycles in $\mathcal C$ that bound a face in $\mathcal E$ is …
We introduce and study the OrthoSEFE-$k$ problem$:$ Given~$k$ planar graphs each with maximum degree 4 and the same vertex set, is there an assignment of the vertices to grid points and of the edges to paths on the grid such that the same edges in …
The volume and the complexity of structured relational information created and handled by modern information systems has drastically increased. More and more often, data are generated so quickly that they cannon even be completely displayed or …
In a drawing of a clustered graph vertices and edges are drawn as points and curves, respectively, while clusters are represented by simple closed regions. A drawing of a clustered graph is c-planar if it has no edge-edge, edge-region, or …
Motivated by finding planar embeddings that lead to drawings with favorable aesthetics, we study the problems MINMAXFACE and UNIFORMFACES of embedding a given biconnected multi-graph such that the largest face is as small as possible and such that …
