چکیده

Bar k-visibility graphs are graphs admitting a representation in which the vertices correspond to horizontal line segments, called bars, and the edges correspond to vertical lines of sight which can traverse up to k bars. These graphs were introduced by Dean et al. [3] who conjectured that bar 1-visibility graphs have thickness at most 2. We construct a bar 1-visibility graph having thickness 3, disproving their conjecture. For a special case of bar 1-visibility graphs we present an algorithm partitioning the edges into two plane graphs, showing that for this class the thickness is indeed bounded by 2.

On Visibility Graphs — Upper Bounds and Classification of Special Types

We examine several types of visibility graphs: bar and semi-bar k-visibility graphs, rectangle k-visibility graphs, arc and circle k-visibility graphs, and compact visibility graphs. We improve the upper bound on the thickness of bar k-visibility graphs from 2k(9k − 1) to 6k, and prove that the upper bound must be at least k + 1. We also show that the upper bound on the thickness of semi-bar k-...

Bar k-Visibility Graphs: Bounds on the Number of Edges, Chromatic Number, and Thickness

Let S be a set of horizontal line segments, or bars, in the plane. We say that G is a bar visibility graph, and S its bar visibility representation, if there exists a one-to-one correspondence between vertices of G and bars in S, such that there is an edge between two vertices in G if and only if there exists an unobstructed vertical line of sight between their corresponding bars. If bars are a...

Further results on arc and bar k-visibility graphs

We consider visibility graphs involving bars and arcs in which lines of sight can pass through at most k objects. We prove a new edge bound for arc k-visibility graphs, provide maximal constructions for arc visibility graphs and semi-arc k-visibility graphs, and give a complete characterization of semi-arc visibility graphs. We further show that the family of arc i-visibility graphs is never co...
