Adjacency posets of outerplanar graphs

Adjacency posets of planar graphs

In this paper, we show that the dimension of the adjacency poset of a planar graph is at most 8. From below, we show that there is a planar graph whose adjacency poset has dimension 5. We then show that the dimension of the adjacency poset of an outerplanar graph is at most 5. From below, we show that there is an outerplanar graph whose adjacency poset has dimension 4. We also show that the dim...

Pathwidth of outerplanar graphs

We are interested in the relation between the pathwidth of a biconnected outerplanar graph and the pathwidth of its (geometric) dual. Bodlaender and Fomin [2], after having proved that the pathwidth of every biconnected outerplanar graph is always at most twice the pathwidth of its (geometric) dual plus two, conjectured that there exists a constant c such that the pathwidth of every biconnected...

Drawing outerplanar graphs

It is shown that for any outerplanar graph G there is a one to one mapping of the vertices of G to the plane, so that the number of distinct distances between pairs of connected vertices is at most three. This settles a problem of Carmi, Dujmovic, Morin and Wood. The proof combines (elementary) geometric, combinatorial, algebraic and probabilistic arguments.

Monitoring maximal outerplanar graphs

In this paper we define a new concept of monitoring the elements of triangulation graphs by faces. Furthermore, we analyze this, and other monitoring concepts (by vertices and by edges), from a combinatorial point of view, on maximal outerplanar graphs.
