Metric Planarity Testing is Hard

Anubhav Dhar, Debajyoti Kar, Sándor Kisfaludi-Bak +3

A key milestone in algorithmic graph theory is Hopcroft and Tarjan's 1974 linear-time algorithm for graph planarity testing. At a workshop in 2002, Linial and Rabinovich asked for…

Fast Thick-Thin Decomposition for Sparse Spanners on Hyperbolic Surfaces

Sándor Kisfaludi-Bak, Geert van Wordragen

We consider spanners for point sets lying in the hyperbolic plane or on a closed hyperbolic surface with the restriction that spanner edges are not allowed to cross. This is a natu…

Lower Bounds for Dominating Set in Ball Graphs and for Weighted Dominating Set in Unit-Ball Graphs

Mark de Berg, Sándor Kisfaludi-Bak

Recently it was shown that many classic graph problems -- Independent Set, Dominating Set, Hamiltonian Cycle, and more -- can be solved in subexponential time on unit-ball graphs.…

Near-Optimal Dynamic Steiner Spanners for Constant-Curvature Spaces

Sándor Kisfaludi-Bak, Geert van Wordragen

We consider Steiner spanners in Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries. In the Euclidean setting, a recent line of work initiated by Le and Solomon [FOCS'19] and further improved b…

Structure and Independence in Hyperbolic Uniform Disk Graphs

Thomas Bläsius, Jean-Pierre von der Heydt, Sándor Kisfaludi-Bak +2

Separator Theorem and Algorithms for Planar Hyperbolic Graphs

Sándor Kisfaludi-Bak, Jana Masaříková, Erik Jan van Leeuwen +2

The hyperbolicity of a graph, informally, measures how close a graph is (metrically) to a tree. Hence, it is intuitively similar to treewidth, but the measures are formally incompa…
