On the -Bend Slope Number of -Planar Graphs

Michael A. Bekos, Eleni Katsanou, Philipp Kindermann +3

While drawing planar graphs with few slopes and few bends is a well-studied problem, corresponding extensions to beyond-planar graphs still remain mostly unexplored. Motivated by t…

On the Recognition of Outerplanar Graphs with Queue Number 1

Michael A. Bekos, Thomas Depian, Stefan Felsner +7

A linear layout of a graph is defined as a total order of the vertices and a partition of the edges to pages. In a stack (queue) layout, no two edges on the same page may cross (ne…

Stack and Queue Layouts with Defects

Michael A. Bekos, Carla Binucci, Emilio Di Giacomo +5

Linear layouts of graphs -- particularly \emph{stack} and \emph{queue} layouts -- are well-established types of representations in graph drawing, thanks to their connection with nu…

How Many Slopes Does Polynomial Area Cost?

Michael A. Bekos, Eleni Katsanou, Philipp Kindermann +1

In this work, we study the interplay between the number of slopes, the number of bends per edge, and the area requirements for planar drawings of bounded-degree graphs. Our motivat…

On Planar Straight-Line Dominance Drawings

Patrizio Angelini, Michael A. Bekos, Giuseppe Di Battista +3

We study the following question, which has been considered since the 90's: Does every -planar graph admit a planar straight-line dominance drawing? We show concrete evidence fo…

Internally-Convex Drawings of Outerplanar Graphs in Small Area

Michael A. Bekos, Giordano Da Lozzo, Fabrizio Frati +2

A well-known result by Kant [Algorithmica, 1996] implies that -vertex outerplane graphs admit embedding-preserving planar straight-line grid drawings where the internal faces ar…
