A Universal Point Set for 2-Outerplanar Graphs
A point set is universal for a class if
every graph of has a planar straight-line embedding on . It is
well-known that the integer grid is a quadratic-size universal point set for
planar graphs, while the existence of a sub-quadratic universal point set for
them is one of the most fascinating open problems in Graph Drawing. Motivated
by the fact that outerplanarity is a key property for the existence of small
universal point sets, we study 2-outerplanar graphs and provide for them a
universal point set of size .Comment: 23 pages, 11 figures, conference version at GD 201
Small Superpatterns for Dominance Drawing
We exploit the connection between dominance drawings of directed acyclic
graphs and permutations, in both directions, to provide improved bounds on the
size of universal point sets for certain types of dominance drawing and on
superpatterns for certain natural classes of permutations. In particular we
show that there exist universal point sets for dominance drawings of the Hasse
diagrams of width-two partial orders of size O(n^{3/2}), universal point sets
for dominance drawings of st-outerplanar graphs of size O(n\log n), and
universal point sets for dominance drawings of directed trees of size O(n^2).
We show that 321-avoiding permutations have superpatterns of size O(n^{3/2}),
riffle permutations (321-, 2143-, and 2413-avoiding permutations) have
superpatterns of size O(n), and the concatenations of sequences of riffles and
their inverses have superpatterns of size O(n\log n). Our analysis includes a
calculation of the leading constants in these bounds.Comment: ANALCO 2014, This version fixes an error in the leading constant of

Labeling Schemes for Bounded Degree Graphs
We investigate adjacency labeling schemes for graphs of bounded degree
. In particular, we present an optimal (up to an additive
constant) adjacency labeling scheme for bounded degree trees.
The latter scheme is derived from a labeling scheme for bounded degree
outerplanar graphs. Our results complement a similar bound recently obtained
for bounded depth trees [Fraigniaud and Korman, SODA 10], and may provide new
insights for closing the long standing gap for adjacency in trees [Alstrup and
Rauhe, FOCS 02]. We also provide improved labeling schemes for bounded degree
planar graphs. Finally, we use combinatorial number systems and present an
improved adjacency labeling schemes for graphs of bounded degree with
Classical Ising model test for quantum circuits
We exploit a recently constructed mapping between quantum circuits and graphs
in order to prove that circuits corresponding to certain planar graphs can be
efficiently simulated classically. The proof uses an expression for the Ising
model partition function in terms of quadratically signed weight enumerators
(QWGTs), which are polynomials that arise naturally in an expansion of quantum
circuits in terms of rotations involving Pauli matrices. We combine this
expression with a known efficient classical algorithm for the Ising partition
function of any planar graph in the absence of an external magnetic field, and
the Robertson-Seymour theorem from graph theory. We give as an example a set of
quantum circuits with a small number of non-nearest neighbor gates which admit
an efficient classical simulation.Comment: 17 pages, 2 figures. v2: main result strengthened by removing
