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

Drawings of Planar Graphs with Few Slopes and Segments
We study straight-line drawings of planar graphs with few segments and few
slopes. Optimal results are obtained for all trees. Tight bounds are obtained
for outerplanar graphs, 2-trees, and planar 3-trees. We prove that every
3-connected plane graph on vertices has a plane drawing with at most
segments and at most slopes. We prove that every cubic
3-connected plane graph has a plane drawing with three slopes (and three bends
on the outerface). In a companion paper, drawings of non-planar graphs with few
slopes are also considered.Comment: This paper is submitted to a journal. A preliminary version appeared
as "Really Straight Graph Drawings" in the Graph Drawing 2004 conference. See

Simultaneous Orthogonal Planarity
We introduce and study the problem: Given planar
graphs each with maximum degree 4 and the same vertex set, do they admit an
OrthoSEFE, that is, is there an assignment of the vertices to grid points and
of the edges to paths on the grid such that the same edges in distinct graphs
are assigned the same path and such that the assignment induces a planar
orthogonal drawing of each of the graphs?
We show that the problem is NP-complete for even if the shared
graph is a Hamiltonian cycle and has sunflower intersection and for
even if the shared graph consists of a cycle and of isolated vertices. Whereas
the problem is polynomial-time solvable for when the union graph has
maximum degree five and the shared graph is biconnected. Further, when the
shared graph is biconnected and has sunflower intersection, we show that every
positive instance has an OrthoSEFE with at most three bends per edge.Comment: Appears in the Proceedings of the 24th International Symposium on
