Testing bipartiteness of geometric intersection graphs

@article{Eppstein2003TestingBO,  title={Testing bipartiteness of geometric intersection graphs},  author={David Eppstein},  journal={ACM Trans. Algorithms},  year={2003},  volume={5},  pages={15:1-15:35},  url={https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:60496}}
We show how to test the bipartiteness of an intersection graph of n line segments or simple polygons in the plane, or of balls in Rd, in time O(n log n). More generally we find subquadratic…

Spanners for Geometric Intersection Graphs

This paper presents the first algorithm for constructing spanners of ball graphs with support for fast distance queries, and shows that the spanner construction has complexity almost equivalent to the construction of a Euclidean minimum spanning tree.

Spanners for geometric intersection graphs with applications

The first algorithm for constructing spanners of ball graphs is presented, using an efficient subdivision of space to construct a sparse graph having many of the same distance properties as the input ball graph, and the constructed spanners have a small vertex separator decomposition (hereditary).

Representing Hypergraphs by Point-Line Incidences

This work considers hypergraph visualizations that represent vertices as points in the plane and hyperedges as curves passing through the points of their incident vertices and shows exists R-hardness for six of the eight resulting decision problem variants and describes polynomial-time algorithms in some restricted settings.

Mexican Conference on Discrete Mathematics and Computational Geometry Geometric Biplane Graphs I : Maximal Graphs ∗

We study biplane graphs drawn on a finite point set S in the plane in general position. This is the family of geometric graphs whose vertex set is S and can be decomposed into two plane graphs. We…

Approximation algorithms for graph problems

This thesis studies approximation algorithms for two fundamental problems arising in graph theory: counting copies of one graph in another graph and estimating distances in geometric graphs and presents algorithms for constructing approximate sparse representations of geometric intersection graphs.

A Coloring Solution to the Edge Crossing Problem

This work defines a "closeness" metric on edges as a combination of distance, angle and crossing, and uses the inverse of this metric to compute a color embedding in the L*a*b* color space and assign "close" edges colors that are perceptually far apart.

Bounded-Degree Graphs have Arbitrarily Large Geometric Thickness

This work proves that there exists Delta-regular graphs with arbitrarily large geometric thickness, and proves that for all Delta >= 9 and for all large n, there exists a Delta- regular graph with geometric thickness at least c Delta^{1/2} n^{1 /2 - 4/Delta - epsilon}.

Graph Treewidth and Geometric Thickness Parameters

It is shown that the lower bound for thickness can be matched by an upper bound, even in the more restrictive geometric setting, and that for graphs of treewidth k, the maximum thickness and the maximum geometric thickness both equal ⌈k/2⌉.

Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications Geometric Thickness of Complete Graphs

We define the geometric thickness of a graph to be the smallest number of layers such that we can draw the graph in the plane with straight-line edges and assign each edge to a layer so that no two…

The geometric thickness of low degree graphs

It is proved that the geometric thickness of graphs whose maximum degree is no more than four is two, and an embedding algorithm for graphs with maximum degree three that uses an n x n grid and a more complex algorithm for embedding a graph withmaximum degree four.

On Coloring Unit Disk Graphs

It is shown that the coloring problem for UD graphs remains NP-complete for any fixed number of colors k≥ 3, and a new 3-approximation algorithm for the problem is presented which is based on network flow and matching techniques.
