Graphs with at most one crossing
The crossing number of a graph is the least number of crossings over all
possible drawings of . We present a structural characterization of graphs
with crossing number one
Bar 1-Visibility Graphs and their relation to other Nearly Planar Graphs
A graph is called a strong (resp. weak) bar 1-visibility graph if its
vertices can be represented as horizontal segments (bars) in the plane so that
its edges are all (resp. a subset of) the pairs of vertices whose bars have a
-thick vertical line connecting them that intersects at most one
other bar.
We explore the relation among weak (resp. strong) bar 1-visibility graphs and
other nearly planar graph classes. In particular, we study their relation to
1-planar graphs, which have a drawing with at most one crossing per edge;
quasi-planar graphs, which have a drawing with no three mutually crossing
edges; the squares of planar 1-flow networks, which are upward digraphs with
in- or out-degree at most one. Our main results are that 1-planar graphs and
the (undirected) squares of planar 1-flow networks are weak bar 1-visibility
graphs and that these are quasi-planar graphs
Compact Drawings of 1-Planar Graphs with Right-Angle Crossings and Few Bends
We study the following classes of beyond-planar graphs: 1-planar, IC-planar,
and NIC-planar graphs. These are the graphs that admit a 1-planar, IC-planar,
and NIC-planar drawing, respectively. A drawing of a graph is 1-planar if every
edge is crossed at most once. A 1-planar drawing is IC-planar if no two pairs
of crossing edges share a vertex. A 1-planar drawing is NIC-planar if no two
pairs of crossing edges share two vertices. We study the relations of these
beyond-planar graph classes (beyond-planar graphs is a collective term for the
primary attempts to generalize the planar graphs) to right-angle crossing (RAC)
graphs that admit compact drawings on the grid with few bends. We present four
drawing algorithms that preserve the given embeddings. First, we show that
every -vertex NIC-planar graph admits a NIC-planar RAC drawing with at most
one bend per edge on a grid of size . Then, we show that
every -vertex 1-planar graph admits a 1-planar RAC drawing with at most two
bends per edge on a grid of size . Finally, we make two
known algorithms embedding-preserving; for drawing 1-planar RAC graphs with at
most one bend per edge and for drawing IC-planar RAC graphs straight-line
Coloring curves that cross a fixed curve
We prove that for every integer , the class of intersection graphs
of curves in the plane each of which crosses a fixed curve in at least one and
at most points is -bounded. This is essentially the strongest
-boundedness result one can get for this kind of graph classes. As a
corollary, we prove that for any fixed integers and , every
-quasi-planar topological graph on vertices with any two edges crossing
at most times has edges.Comment: Small corrections, improved presentatio
The maximum size of adjacency-crossing graphs
An adjacency-crossing graph is a graph that can be drawn such that every two
edges that cross the same edge share a common endpoint. We show that the number
of edges in an -vertex adjacency-crossing graph is at most . If we
require the edges to be drawn as straight-line segments, then this upper bound
becomes . Both of these bounds are tight. The former result also follows
from a very recent and independent work of Cheong et al.\cite{cheong2023weakly}
who showed that the maximum size of weakly and strongly fan-planar graphs
coincide. By combining this result with the bound of Kaufmann and
Ueckerdt\cite{KU22} on the size of strongly fan-planar graphs and results of
Brandenburg\cite{Br20} by which the maximum size of adjacency-crossing graphs
equals the maximum size of fan-crossing graphs which in turn equals the maximum
size of weakly fan-planar graphs, one obtains the same bound on the size of
adjacency-crossing graphs. However, the proof presented here is different,
simpler and direct.Comment: 17 pages, 11 figure
