Characterizing and Recognizing Twistedness

Authors: Oswin Aichholzer, Alfredo García, Javier Tejel, Birgit Vogtenhuber, and Alexandra Weinberger

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

Abstract
In a simple drawing of a graph, any two edges intersect in at most one point (either a common endpoint or a proper crossing). A simple drawing is generalized twisted if it fulfills certain rather specific constraints on how the edges are drawn. An abstract rotation system of a graph assigns to each vertex a cyclic order of its incident edges. A realizable rotation system is one that admits a simple drawing such that at each vertex, the edges emanate in that cyclic order, and a generalized twisted rotation system can be realized as a generalized twisted drawing. Generalized twisted drawings have initially been introduced to obtain improved bounds on the size of plane substructures in any simple drawing of K_n. They have since gained independent interest due to their surprising properties. However, the definition of generalized twisted drawings is very geometric and drawing-specific. In this paper, we develop characterizations of generalized twisted drawings that enable a purely combinatorial view on these drawings and lead to efficient recognition algorithms. Concretely, we show that for any n ≥ 7, an abstract rotation system of K_n is generalized twisted if and only if all subrotation systems induced by five vertices are generalized twisted. This implies a drawing-independent and concise characterization of generalized twistedness. Besides, the result yields a simple O(n⁵)-time algorithm to decide whether an abstract rotation system is generalized twisted and sheds new light on the structural features of simple drawings. We further develop a characterization via the rotations of a pair of vertices in a drawing, which we then use to derive an O(n²)-time algorithm to decide whether a realizable rotation system is generalized twisted.

Extending Drawings of Graphs to Arrangements of Pseudolines

Authors: Alan Arroyo, Julien Bensmail, and R. Bruce Richter

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 164, 36th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2020)

Abstract
In the recent study of crossing numbers, drawings of graphs that can be extended to an arrangement of pseudolines (pseudolinear drawings) have played an important role as they are a natural combinatorial extension of rectilinear (or straight-line) drawings. A characterization of the pseudolinear drawings of K_n was found recently. We extend this characterization to all graphs, by describing the set of minimal forbidden subdrawings for pseudolinear drawings. Our characterization also leads to a polynomial-time algorithm to recognize pseudolinear drawings and construct the pseudolines when it is possible.
