Planar Topological Routing
We develop a simple linear time algorithm to determine if a collection of two-pin nets can be routed, topologically, in a plane (i.e. single layer). Experiments indicate that this algorithm is faster than the linear time algorithm of Marek-Sadowska and Tarng [1]. Topological routability testing of a collection of multi-pin nets is shown to be equivalent to planarity testing and a simple linear time algorithm is developed for the case when the collection of modules remains connected following the deletion of all nets with more than two pins
