3D Visibility Representations of 1-planar Graphs
We prove that every 1-planar graph G has a z-parallel visibility
representation, i.e., a 3D visibility representation in which the vertices are
isothetic disjoint rectangles parallel to the xy-plane, and the edges are
unobstructed z-parallel visibilities between pairs of rectangles. In addition,
the constructed representation is such that there is a plane that intersects
all the rectangles, and this intersection defines a bar 1-visibility
representation of G.Comment: Appears in the Proceedings of the 25th International Symposium on

Visibility Representations of Boxes in 2.5 Dimensions
We initiate the study of 2.5D box visibility representations (2.5D-BR) where
vertices are mapped to 3D boxes having the bottom face in the plane and
edges are unobstructed lines of sight parallel to the - or -axis. We
prove that: Every complete bipartite graph admits a 2.5D-BR; The
complete graph admits a 2.5D-BR if and only if ; Every
graph with pathwidth at most admits a 2.5D-BR, which can be computed in
linear time. We then turn our attention to 2.5D grid box representations
(2.5D-GBR) which are 2.5D-BRs such that the bottom face of every box is a unit
square at integer coordinates. We show that an -vertex graph that admits a
2.5D-GBR has at most edges and this bound is tight. Finally,
we prove that deciding whether a given graph admits a 2.5D-GBR with a given
footprint is NP-complete. The footprint of a 2.5D-BR is the set of
bottom faces of the boxes in .Comment: Appears in the Proceedings of the 24th International Symposium on

Unimaximal Sequences of Pairs in Rectangle Visibility Drawing
We study the existence of unimaximal subsequences in sequences of pairs of integers, e.g., the subsequences that have exactly one local maximum in each component of the subsequence. We show that 1 every sequence of 12 n2 (n2 − 1) + 1 pairs has a unimaximal subsequence of length n. We prove that this bound is tight. We apply this result to the problem of the largest complete graph with a 3D rectangle visibility representation and improve the upper bound from 55 to 50
