    Bounded Representations of Interval and Proper Interval Graphs

    Klavík et al. [ar**v:1207.6960] recently introduced a generalization of recognition called the bounded representation problem which we study for the classes of interval and proper interval graphs. The input gives...

    Grid Drawings and the Chromatic Number

    A grid drawing of a graph maps vertices to the grid ℤ d and edges to line segments that avoid grid points representing other vertices. We show that a graph G is q ...

    Drawing Graphs Using a Small Number of Obstacles

    An obstacle representation of a graph G is a set of points in the plane representing the vertices of G, together with a set of polygonal obstacles such that two vertices of G are connected by an edge in G if and ...

    Holes in 2-Convex Point Sets

    Let S be a set of n points in the plane in general position (no three points from S are collinear). For a positive integer k, a k-hole in S is a convex polygon with k vertices from S and no points of S in its int...

    Minimal Representations of Order Types by Geometric Graphs

    In order to have a compact visualization of the order type of a given point set S, we are interested in geometric graphs on S with few edges that unequivocally display the order type of S. We introduce the concep...

    On Erdős–Szekeres-Type Problems for k-convex Point Sets

    We study Erdős–Szekeres-type problems for k-convex point sets, a recently introduced notion that naturally extends the concept of convex position. A finite set S of n points is k-convex if there exists a spanning...

    Almost-Equidistant Sets

    For a positive integer d, a set of points in d-dimensional Euclidean space is called almost-equidistant if for any three points from the set, some two are at unit distance. Let f(d) denote the largest size of an ...

    Big Ramsey Degrees of 3-Uniform Hypergraphs Are Finite

    We prove that the universal homogeneous 3-uniform hypergraph has finite big Ramsey degrees. This is the first case where big Ramsey degrees are known to be finite for structures in a non-binary language.
