On the Size of Outer-String Representations

Authors: Therese Biedl, Ahmad Biniaz, and Martin Derka

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 101, 16th Scandinavian Symposium and Workshops on Algorithm Theory (SWAT 2018)

Abstract
Outer-string graphs, i.e., graphs that can be represented as intersection of curves in 2D, all of which end in the outer-face, have recently received much interest, especially since it was shown that the independent set problem can be solved efficiently in such graphs. However, the run-time for the independent set problem depends on N, the number of segments in an outer-string representation, rather than the number n of vertices of the graph. In this paper, we argue that for some outer-string graphs, N must be exponential in n. We also study some special string graphs, viz. monotone string graphs, and argue that for them N can be assumed to be polynomial in n. Finally we give an algorithm for independent set in so-called strip-grounded monotone outer-string graphs that is polynomial in n.

Crossing Number for Graphs with Bounded~Pathwidth

Authors: Therese Biedl, Markus Chimani, Martin Derka, and Petra Mutzel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 92, 28th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2017)

Abstract
The crossing number is the smallest number of pairwise edge crossings when drawing a graph into the plane. There are only very few graph classes for which the exact crossing number is known or for which there at least exist constant approximation ratios. Furthermore, up to now, general crossing number computations have never been successfully tackled using bounded width of graph decompositions, like treewidth or pathwidth. In this paper, we for the first time show that crossing number is tractable (even in linear time) for maximal graphs of bounded pathwidth 3. The technique also shows that the crossing number and the rectilinear (a.k.a. straight-line) crossing number are identical for this graph class, and that we require only an O(n)xO(n)-grid to achieve such a drawing. Our techniques can further be extended to devise a 2-approximation for general graphs with pathwidth 3, and a 4w^3-approximation for maximal graphs of pathwidth w. This is a constant approximation for bounded pathwidth graphs.

1-String B_2-VPG Representation of Planar Graphs

Authors: Therese Biedl and Martin Derka

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 34, 31st International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2015)

Abstract
In this paper, we prove that every planar graph has a 1-string B_2-VPG representation - a string representation using paths in a rectangular grid that contain at most two bends. Furthermore, two paths representing vertices u, v intersect precisely once whenever there is an edge between u and v.
