We consider straight-line outerplanar drawings of outerplanar graphs in which a small number of distinct edge slopes are used, that is, the segments representing edges are parallel to a small number of directions. We prove that Delta - 1 edge slopes suffic ...
In the 1970s Erdos asked whether the chromatic number of intersection graphs of line segments in the plane is bounded by a function of their clique number. We show the answer is no. Specifically, for each positive integer k we construct a triangle-free fam ...
Suppose k is a positive integer and X is a k-fold packing of the plane by infinitely many arc-connected compact sets, which means that every point of the plane belongs to at most k sets. Suppose there is a function f(n) = o(n(2)) with the property that any ...
A topological graph is k-quasi-planar if it does not contain k pairwise crossing edges. An old conjecture states that for every fixed k, the maximum number of edges in a k-quasi-planar graph on n vertices is O(n). Fox and Pach showed that every k-quasi-pla ...

The main goal of this paper is to formalize and explore a connection between chromatic properties of graphs defined by geometric representations and competitivity analysis of on-line algorithms. This connection became apparent after the recent construction ...
Several classical constructions illustrate the fact that the chromatic number of a graph may be arbitrarily large compared to its clique number. However, until very recently no such construction was known for intersection graphs of geometric objects in the ...
A family of sets in the plane is simple if the intersection of any subfamily is arc-connected, and it is pierced by a line L if the intersection of any member with L is a nonempty segment. It is proved that the intersection graphs of simple families of com ...
For positive integers w and k, two vectors A and B from Z(w) are called k-crossing if there are two coordinates i and j such that A[i] - B[i] >= k and B[j] - A[j] >= k. What is the maximum size of a family of pairwise 1-crossing and pairwise non-k-crossing ...
Recently, Pawlik et al. have shown that triangle-free intersection graphs of line segments in the plane can have arbitrarily large chromatic number. Specifically, they construct triangle-free segment intersection graphs with chromatic number Θ(log log n). ...
