A thrackle is a graph drawn in the plane so that every pair of its edges meet exactly once: either at a common end vertex or in a proper crossing. We prove that any thrackle of n vertices has at most 1.3984n edges. Quasi-thrackles are defined similarly, ex ...
Let P be a finite point set in the plane. A \emph{c-ordinary triangle} in P is a subset of P consisting of three non-collinear points such that each of the three lines determined by the three points contains at most c points of P. Motivated by a question o ...
The Hanani--Tutte theorem is a classical result proved for the first time in the 1930s that characterizes planar graphs as graphs that admit a drawing in the plane in which every pair of edges not sharing a vertex cross an even number of times. We generali ...
By a polygonization of a finite point set S in the plane we understand a simple polygon having S as the set of its vertices. Let B and R be sets of blue and red points, respectively, in the plane such that is in general position, and the convex hull of B c ...
In this paper we study the page number of upward planar directed acyclic graphs. We prove that the page number of any upward planar directed acyclic graph G is a function of the page number of a four-connected subgraph of G; further, we provide an upper bo ...

Let G = (V, E) denote a simple graph with vertex set V and edge set E. The profile of a vertex set V' subset of V denotes the multiset of pairwise distances between the vertices of V'. Two disjoint subsets of V are homometric if their profiles are the same ...

The inverse degree of a graph is the sum of the reciprocals of the degrees of its vertices. We prove that in any connected planar graph, the diameter is at most 5/2 times the inverse degree, and that this ratio is tight. To develop a crucial surgery method ...

We study the impact of metric constraints on the realizability of planar graphs. Let G be a subgraph of a planar graph H (where H is the "host" of G). The graph G is free in H if for every choice of positive lengths for the edges of G, the host H has a pla ...

This thesis is devoted to crossing patterns of edges in topological graphs. We consider the following four problems: A thrackle is a graph drawn in the plane such that every pair of edges meet exactly once: either at a common endpoint or in a proper crossi ...

We consider graphs that admit polyline drawings where all crossings occur at the same angle alpha is an element of (0, pi/2]. We prove that every graph on n vertices that admits such a polyline drawing with at most two bends per edge has O(n) edges. This r ...
