چکیده

We show that every 4-connected planar graph has a B3-EPG representation, i.e., every vertex is represented by a curve on the grid with at most three bends, and two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding curves share an edge of the grid. Our construction is based on a modification of the representation by touching thickened L-shapes proposed by Gonçalves et al. [4].

Computing Maximum Cliques in B_2 -EPG Graphs

EPG graphs, introduced by Golumbic et al. in 2009, are edge-intersection graphs of paths on an orthogonal grid. The class Bk-EPG is the subclass of EPG graphs where the path on the grid associated to each vertex has at most k bends. Epstein et al. showed in 2013 that computing a maximum clique in B1-EPG graphs is polynomial. As remarked in [Heldt et al., 2014], when the number of bends is at le...

Planar Graphs as VPG-Graphs

A graph is Bk-VPG when it has an intersection representation by paths in a rectangular grid with at most k bends (turns). It is known that all planar graphs are B3-VPG and this was conjectured to be tight. We disprove this conjecture by showing that all planar graphs are B2-VPG. We also show that the 4-connected planar graphs constitute a subclass of the intersection graphs of Z-shapes (i.e., a...

VPG and EPG bend-numbers of Halin Graphs

A piecewise linear simple curve in the plane made up of k+1 line segments, each of which is either horizontal or vertical, with consecutive segments being of different orientation is called a k-bend path. Given a graph G, a collection of k-bend paths in which each path corresponds to a vertex in G and two paths have a common point if and only if the vertices corresponding to them are adjacent i...
