A Sketch of Parameterized Complexity (Invited Talk)

Authors: Hans L. Bodlaender

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 357, 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025)


Abstract
In the field of parameterized complexity, we study algorithms for and the complexity of problems where one part of the input is a parameter that is assumed to be small. In this talk, a survey will be given of several central notions from parameterized complexity, and discuss some recent developments, including the classes XNLP and XALP. These topics will be illustrated with examples from results on graph layout and graph drawing.

Transforming Graph Visualization through AI and Human-AI Collaboration (Invited Talk)

Authors: Huamin Qu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 357, 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025)


Abstract
In recent years, the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and graph visualization has led to advancements that enhance our ability to analyze and interpret complex data. In this talk, I will explore how AI and human-AI collaboration have transformed graph visualization, focusing on three key themes: efficiency in graph visualization, the integration of data storytelling, and the creative potential of human-AI partnerships. In the first part of my talk, I will discuss how AI has been employed to create more efficient graph visualizations. I will highlight our innovative deep learning-based method for assessing the readability of graph layouts directly from images. This approach overcomes the limitations of traditional readability metrics, allowing for a more efficient evaluation of graph aesthetics, particularly in dense networks. Next, I will delve into the application of graph visualization in data storytelling and virtual reality (VR) environments. I will present how tangible interactions can enhance live presentations of network visualizations, showcasing the effectiveness of intuitive physical interactions in engaging audiences. Additionally, I will discuss the development of semi-automatic data tours that guide users through complex networks, making exploration more intuitive and less time-consuming. In the final section of my talk, I will focus on the creative aspects of human-AI collaboration in graph visualization. I will examine how generative AI techniques are reshaping the roles of humans and AI in the storytelling process, discussing the shift from human creators to AI-assisted storytelling. This evolution leads to innovative visualization techniques and highlights emerging collaboration patterns that enhance the storytelling experience. By addressing these themes, my talk will illustrate the impact of AI and human-AI collaboration on graph visualization, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead in this rapidly evolving field.

On the Structure of Normalized Models of Circular-Arc Graphs I. Hsu’s Approach

Authors: Tomasz Krawczyk

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 357, 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025)


Abstract
In the work [𝒪(m⋅ n) algorithms for the recognition and isomorphism problems on circular-arc graphs, SIAM J. Comput. 24(3), 411-439, (1995)], Wen-Lian Hsu claims three results concerning the class of circular-arc graphs: - the design of so-called decomposition trees that represent the structure of all normalized intersection models of circular-arc graphs, - an 𝒪(nm)-time recognition algorithm for circular-arc graphs, - an 𝒪(nm)-time isomorphism algorithm for circular-arc graphs. In [Discrete Math. Theor. Comput. Sci., 15(1), 157-182, 2013] Curtis, Lin, McConnell, Nussbaum, Soulignac, Spinrad, and Szwarcfiter showed that Hsu’s isomorphism algorithm is incorrect. In this note, we show that the other two results - namely, the construction of decomposition trees and the recognition algorithm - are also flawed. We also present the main ideas that made it possible to construct a data structure that maintains normalized models of circular-arc graphs.

Heuristics for Exact 1-Planarity Testing

Authors: Simon D. Fink, Miriam Münch, Matthias Pfretzschner, and Ignaz Rutter

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 357, 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025)


Abstract
Since many real-world graphs are nonplanar, the study of graphs that allow few crossings per edge has been an active subfield of graph theory in recent years. One of the most natural generalizations of planar graphs are the so-called 1-planar graphs that admit a drawing with at most one crossing per edge. Unfortunately, testing whether a graph is 1-planar is known to be NP-complete even for very restricted graph classes. On the positive side, Binucci, Didimo and Montecchiani [Binucci et al., 2023] presented the first practical algorithm for testing 1-planarity based on an easy-to-implement backtracking strategy. We build on this idea and systematically explore the design choices of such algorithms and propose several new ingredients, such as different branching strategies and multiple filter criteria that allow us to reject certain branches in the search tree early on. We conduct an extensive experimental evaluation that evaluates the efficiency and effectiveness of these ingredients. Given a time limit of three hours per instance, our best configuration is able to solve more than 95% of the non-planar instances from the well-known North and Rome graphs with up to 50 vertices. Notably, the median running time for solved instances is well below 4 seconds.

Constrained Flips in Plane Spanning Trees

Authors: Oswin Aichholzer, Joseph Dorfer, and Birgit Vogtenhuber

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 357, 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025)


Abstract
A flip in a plane spanning tree T is the operation of removing one edge from T and adding another edge such that the resulting structure is again a plane spanning tree. For trees on a set of points in convex position we study two classic types of constrained flips: (1) Compatible flips are flips in which the removed and inserted edge do not cross each other. We relevantly improve the previous upper bound of 2n-O(√n) on the diameter of the compatible flip graph to (5n/3)-O(1), by this matching the upper bound for unrestricted flips by Bjerkevik, Kleist, Ueckerdt, and Vogtenhuber [SODA 2025] up to an additive constant of 1. We further show that no shortest compatible flip sequence removes an edge that is already in its target position. Using this so-called happy edge property, we derive a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm to compute the shortest compatible flip sequence between two given trees. (2) Rotations are flips in which the removed and inserted edge share a common vertex. Besides showing that the happy edge property does not hold for rotations, we improve the previous upper bound of 2n-O(1) for the diameter of the rotation graph to (7n/4)-O(1).

Approximating Barnette’s Conjecture

Authors: Michael A. Bekos, Michael Kaufmann, and Maximilian Pfister

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 357, 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025)


Abstract
A well-known conjecture, named after David W. Barnette, asserts that every 3-regular, 3-connected, bipartite, planar graph (for short, Barnette graph) is Hamiltonian. As another step towards addressing Barnette’s conjecture positively, we show that every n-vertex Barnette graph admits a subhamiltonian cycle containing 5n/6 edges, improving upon the previous bound of 2n/3. Equivalently, every Barnette graph admits a 2-page book embedding in which at least 5n/6 consecutive vertex pairs along the spine are connected by edges. As a byproduct, we present a simple proof for a known result that guarantees the existence of Hamiltonian cycles in a certain subclass of Barnette graphs.

Same Quality Metrics, Different Graph Drawings

Authors: Simon van Wageningen, Tamara Mchedlidze, and Alexandru C. Telea

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 357, 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025)


Abstract
Graph drawings are commonly used to visualize relational data. User understanding and performance are linked to the quality of such drawings, which is measured by quality metrics. The tacit knowledge in the graph drawing community about these quality metrics is that they are not always able to accurately capture the quality of graph drawings. In particular, such metrics may rate drawings with very poor quality as very good. In this work we make this tacit knowledge explicit by showing that we can modify existing graph drawings into arbitrary target shapes while keeping one or more quality metrics almost identical. This supports the claim that more advanced quality metrics are needed to capture the "goodness" of a graph drawing and that we cannot confidently rely on the value of a single (or several) certain quality metrics.

Tangling and Untangling Trees on Point-Sets

Authors: Giuseppe Di Battista, Giuseppe Liotta, Maurizio Patrignani, Antonios Symvonis, and Ioannis G. Tollis

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 357, 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025)


Abstract
We study a question that lies at the intersection of classical research subjects in Topological Graph Theory and Graph Drawing: Computing a drawing of a graph with a prescribed number of crossings on a given set S of points, while ensuring that its curve complexity (i.e., maximum number of bends per edge) is bounded by a constant. We focus on trees: Let T be a tree, ϑ(T) be its thrackle number, and χ be any integer in the interval [0,ϑ(T)]. In the tangling phase we compute a topological linear embedding of T with ϑ(T) edge crossings and a constant number of spine traversals. In the untangling phase we remove edge crossings without increasing the spine traversals until we reach χ crossings. The computed linear embedding is used to construct a drawing of T on S with χ crossings and constant curve complexity. Our approach gives rise to an O(n²)-time algorithm for general trees and an O(n log n)-time algorithm for paths. We also adapt the approach to compute RAC drawings, i.e. drawings where the angles formed at edge crossings are π/2.

The Page Number of Monotone Directed Acyclic Outerplanar Graphs Is Four or Five

Authors: Jawaherul Md. Alam, Michael A. Bekos, Martin Gronemann, and Michael Kaufmann

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 357, 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025)


Abstract
A k-page book embedding of a directed acyclic graph consists of a topological order of its vertices and a k-coloring of its edges, such that no two edges of the same color cross, that is, their endpoints do not alternate in the order. The minimum value of k for which such an embedding exists is referred to as the page number of the graph. In contrast to general directed acyclic planar graphs, which may have unbounded page number [SIAM J. Comput. 28(5), 1999], it was recently shown that directed acyclic outerplanar graphs have bounded page number. In particular, Jungeblut, Merker and Ueckerdt provided an upper bound of 24,776 on their page number [FOCS 2023: 1937-1952]. In this work, we focus on so-called monotone directed acyclic outerplanar graphs. Starting from a single edge, these graphs are constructed by iteratively connecting a new vertex to the endpoints of an existing edge on the outer face using either two incoming or two outgoing edges incident to it. These graphs have twist-number 4 [GD 2023: 135-151] (i.e., they admit a topological order in which no more than four edges pairwise cross), a property, which was leveraged by Jungeblut, Merker and Ueckerdt to show that their page number is at most 128. We lower this upper bound to 5 and we also provide a lower bound of 4. A notable consequence of our result is a significant improvement of the upper bound on the page number of general directed outerplanar graphs from 24,776 to 1,160.

The Bend Number of Cocomparability Graphs

Authors: Todor Antić, Vit Jelínek, Martin Pergel, Felix Schröder, Peter Stumpf, and Pavel Valtr

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 357, 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025)


Abstract
We introduce a new complexity measure for cocomparability graphs of posets or in other words, intersection graphs of piecewise linear functions, the bend number. We prove that cocomparability graphs of bounded bend number are not too plentiful and give two hierarchies of classes of cocomparability graphs, depending on whether the piecewise linear functions are restricted to slopes of ±1 (diagonal case) or not (general case). These hierarchies give a gradation between permutation graphs and cocomparability graphs.

Towards a Better Understanding of Graph Perception in Immersive Environments

Authors: Lin Zhang, Yao Wang, Ying Zhang, Wilhelm Kerle-Malcharek, Karsten Klein, Falk Schreiber, and Andreas Bulling

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 357, 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025)


Abstract
As Immersive Analytics (IA) increasingly uses Virtual Reality (VR) for stereoscopic 3D (S3D) graph visualisation, it is crucial to understand how users perceive network structures in these immersive environments. However, little is known about how humans read S3D graphs during task solving, and how gaze behaviour indicates task performance. To address this gap, we report a user study with 18 participants asked to perform three analytical tasks on S3D graph visualisations in a VR environment. Our findings reveal systematic relationships between network structural properties and gaze behaviour. Based on these insights, we contribute a comprehensive eye tracking methodology for analysing human perception in immersive environments and establish eye tracking as a valuable tool for objectively evaluating cognitive load in S3D graph visualisation.

Flipping Odd Matchings in Geometric and Combinatorial Settings

Authors: Oswin Aichholzer, Sofia Brenner, Joseph Dorfer, Hung P. Hoang, Daniel Perz, Christian Rieck, and Francesco Verciani

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 357, 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025)


Abstract
We study the problem of reconfiguring odd matchings, that is, matchings that cover all but a single vertex. Our reconfiguration operation is a so-called flip where the unmatched vertex of the first matching gets matched, while consequently another vertex becomes unmatched. We consider two distinct settings: the geometric setting, in which the vertices are points embedded in the plane and all occurring odd matchings are crossing-free, and a combinatorial setting, in which we consider odd matchings in general graphs. For the latter setting, we provide a complete polynomial time checkable characterization of graphs in which any two odd matchings can be reconfigured into each another. This complements the previously known result that the flip graph is always connected in the geometric setting [Oswin Aichholzer et al., 2025]. In the combinatorial setting, we prove that the diameter of the flip graph, if connected, is linear in the number of vertices. Furthermore, we establish that deciding whether there exists a flip sequence of length k transforming one given matching into another is NP-complete in both the combinatorial and the geometric settings. To prove the latter, we introduce a framework that allows us to transform partial order types into general position with only polynomial overhead. Finally, we demonstrate that when parameterized by the flip distance k, the problem is fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) in the geometric setting when restricted to convex point sets.
