The PACE 2024 Parameterized Algorithms and Computational Experiments Challenge: One-Sided Crossing Minimization

Authors: Philipp Kindermann, Fabian Klute, and Soeren Terziadis

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 321, 19th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2024)

Abstract
This article is a report by the challenge organizers on the 9th Parameterized Algorithms and Computational Experiments Challenge (PACE 2024). As was common in previous iterations of the competition, this year’s iteration implemented an exact and heuristic track for a parameterized problem that has gained attention in the theory community. This year’s challenge is about the One-Sided Crossing Minimization Problem (OSCM). In the exact track, the competition participants were asked to develop an exact algorithm that can solve as many instances as possible from a benchmark set of 100 instances – with a time limit of 30 minutes per instance. In the heuristic track, the task must be accomplished within 5 minutes, however, the result in this track is not required to be optimal. New this year is the parameterized track, which has the same rules as the exact track, but instances are guaranteed to have small cutwidth. As in previous iterations, the organizers handed out awards to the best solutions in all tracks and to the best student submissions.

Weakly Leveled Planarity with Bounded Span

Authors: Michael A. Bekos, Giordano Da Lozzo, Fabrizio Frati, Siddharth Gupta, Philipp Kindermann, Giuseppe Liotta, Ignaz Rutter, and Ioannis G. Tollis

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 320, 32nd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2024)

Abstract
This paper studies planar drawings of graphs in which each vertex is represented as a point along a sequence of horizontal lines, called levels, and each edge is either a horizontal segment or a strictly y-monotone curve. A graph is s-span weakly leveled planar if it admits such a drawing where the edges have span at most s; the span of an edge is the number of levels it touches minus one. We investigate the problem of computing s-span weakly leveled planar drawings from both the computational and the combinatorial perspectives. We prove the problem to be para-NP-hard with respect to its natural parameter s and investigate its complexity with respect to widely used structural parameters. We show the existence of a polynomial-size kernel with respect to vertex cover number and prove that the problem is FPT when parameterized by treedepth. We also present upper and lower bounds on the span for various graph classes. Notably, we show that cycle trees, a family of 2-outerplanar graphs generalizing Halin graphs, are Θ(log n)-span weakly leveled planar and 4-span weakly leveled planar when 3-connected. As a byproduct of these combinatorial results, we obtain improved bounds on the edge-length ratio of the graph families under consideration.

On k-Plane Insertion into Plane Drawings

Authors: Julia Katheder, Philipp Kindermann, Fabian Klute, Irene Parada, and Ignaz Rutter

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 320, 32nd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2024)

Abstract
We introduce the k-Plane Insertion into Plane drawing (k-PIP) problem: given a plane drawing of a planar graph G and a set F of edges, insert the edges in F into the drawing such that the resulting drawing is k-plane. In this paper, we show that the problem is NP-complete for every k ≥ 1, even when G is biconnected and the set F of edges forms a matching or a path. On the positive side, we present a linear-time algorithm for the case that k = 1 and G is a triangulation.

The st-Planar Edge Completion Problem Is Fixed-Parameter Tractable

Authors: Liana Khazaliya, Philipp Kindermann, Giuseppe Liotta, Fabrizio Montecchiani, and Kirill Simonov

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 283, 34th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2023)

Abstract
The problem of deciding whether a biconnected planar digraph G = (V,E) can be augmented to become an st-planar graph by adding a set of oriented edges E' ⊆ V × V is known to be NP-complete. We show that the problem is fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by the size of the set E'.

Finding Tutte Paths in Linear Time

Authors: Therese Biedl and Philipp Kindermann

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 132, 46th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2019)

Abstract
It is well-known that every planar graph has a Tutte path, i.e., a path P such that any component of G-P has at most three attachment points on P. However, it was only recently shown that such Tutte paths can be found in polynomial time. In this paper, we give a new proof that 3-connected planar graphs have Tutte paths, which leads to a linear-time algorithm to find Tutte paths. Furthermore, our Tutte path has special properties: it visits all exterior vertices, all components of G-P have exactly three attachment points, and we can assign distinct representatives to them that are interior vertices. Finally, our running time bound is slightly stronger; we can bound it in terms of the degrees of the faces that are incident to P. This allows us to find some applications of Tutte paths (such as binary spanning trees and 2-walks) in linear time as well.

Placing your Coins on a Shelf

Authors: Helmut Alt, Kevin Buchin, Steven Chaplick, Otfried Cheong, Philipp Kindermann, Christian Knauer, and Fabian Stehn

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

Abstract
We consider the problem of packing a family of disks 'on a shelf,' that is, such that each disk touches the x-axis from above and such that no two disks overlap. We prove that the problem of minimizing the distance between the leftmost point and the rightmost point of any disk is NP-hard. On the positive side, we show how to approximate this problem within a factor of 4/3 in O(n log n) time, and provide an O(n log n)-time exact algorithm for a special case, in particular when the ratio between the largest and smallest radius is at most four.

Strongly Monotone Drawings of Planar Graphs

Authors: Stefan Felsner, Alexander Igamberdiev, Philipp Kindermann, Boris Klemz, Tamara Mchedlidze, and Manfred Scheucher

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 51, 32nd International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2016)

Abstract
A straight-line drawing of a graph is a monotone drawing if for each pair of vertices there is a path which is monotonically increasing in some direction, and it is called a strongly monotone drawing if the direction of monotonicity is given by the direction of the line segment connecting the two vertices. We present algorithms to compute crossing-free strongly monotone drawings for some classes of planar graphs; namely, 3-connected planar graphs, outerplanar graphs, and 2-trees. The drawings of 3-connected planar graphs are based on primal-dual circle packings. Our drawings of outerplanar graphs depend on a new algorithm that constructs strongly monotone drawings of trees which are also convex. For irreducible trees, these drawings are strictly convex.
