Hanani-Tutte and Monotone Drawings

چکیده
A drawing of a graph is x-monotone if every edge intersects every vertical line at most once and every vertical line contains at most one vertex. Pach and Tóth showed that if a graph has an x-monotone drawing in which every pair of edges crosses an even number of times, then the graph has an x-monotone embedding in which the x-coordinates of all vertices are unchanged. We give a new proof of this result and strengthen it by showing that the conclusion remains true even if adjacent edges are allowed to cross oddly. This answers a question posed by Pach and Tóth. Moreover, we show that an extension of this result for graphs with non-adjacent pairs of edges crossing oddly fails even if there exists only one such pair in a graph.

Towards the Hanani-Tutte Theorem for Clustered Graphs
The weak variant of Hanani–Tutte theorem says that a graph is planar, if it can be drawn in the plane so that every pair of edges cross an even number of times. Moreover, we can turn such a drawing into an embedding without changing the order in which edges leave the vertices. We prove a generalization of the weak Hanani–Tutte theorem that also easily implies the monotone variant of the weak Ha...

متن کاملUnified Hanani-Tutte Theorem
We introduce a common generalization of the strong Hanani–Tutte theorem and the weak Hanani–Tutte theorem: if a graph G has a drawing D in the plane where every pair of independent edges crosses an even number of times, then G has a planar drawing preserving the rotation of each vertex whose incident edges cross each other evenly inD. The theorem is implicit in the proof of the strong Hanani–Tu...
متن کاملCounterexample to an extension of the Hanani-Tutte theorem on the surface of genus 4
We find a graph of genus 5 and its drawing on the orientable surface of genus 4 with every pair of independent edges crossing an even number of times. This shows that the strong Hanani–Tutte theorem cannot be extended to the orientable surface of genus 4. As a base step in the construction we use a counterexample to an extension of the unified Hanani–Tutte theorem on the torus.
متن کاملHanani-Tutte and Related Results
We investigate under what conditions crossings of adjacent edges and pairs of edges crossing an even number of times are unnecessary when drawing graphs. This leads us to explore the Hanani-Tutte theorem and its close relatives, emphasizing the intuitive geometric content of these results. 1 The Hanani-Tutte Theorem in The Plane In 1934, Hanani [15] published a paper which—in passing—establishe...
