3-colorability of pseudo-triangulations
Aichholzer, Oswin; Aurenhammer, Franz; Hackl, Thomas; Huemer, Clemens; Pilz, Alexander; Vogtenhuber, Birgit (2015)
Article
Open AccessDeciding 3-colorability for general plane graphs is known to be an NP-complete problem. However, for certain families of graphs, like triangulations, polynomial time algorithms exist. We consider the family of pseudo-tri ... -
4-Holes in point sets
Aichholzer, Oswin; Fabila Monroy, Ruy; Gonzalez Aguilar, Hernan; Hackl, Thomas; Heredia, Marco A.; Huemer, Clemens; Urrutia Galicia, Jorge; Vogtenhuber, Birgit (2014-08-01)
Article
Open AccessWe consider a variant of a question of Erdos on the number of empty k-gons (k-holes) in a set of n points in the plane, where we allow the k-gons to be non-convex. We show bounds and structural results on maximizing and ... -
4-labelings and grid embeddings of plane quadrangulations
Barrière Figueroa, Eulalia; Huemer, Clemens (2009-06-03)
External research report
Open AccessWe show that each quadrangulation on $n$ vertices has a closed rectangle of influence drawing on the $(n-2) \times (n-2)$ grid. Further, we present a simple algorithm to obtain a straight-line drawing of a quadrangulation ... -
A new lower bound on the maximum number of plane graphs using production matrices
Huemer, Clemens; Pilz, Alexander; Silveira, Rodrigo Ignacio (2018)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyWe use the concept of production matrices to show that there exist sets of n points in the plane that admit ¿(41.77n) crossing-free geometric graphs. This improves the previously best known bound of ¿(41.18n) by Aichholzer ... -
A new lower bound on the maximum number of plane graphs using production matrices
Huemer, Clemens; Pilz, Alexander; Silveira, Rodrigo Ignacio (2019-11-01)
Article
Open AccessWe use the concept of production matrices to show that there exist sets of n points in the plane that admit ¿(42.11n ) crossing-free geometric graphs. This improves the previously best known bound of ¿(41.18n ) by Aichholzer ... -
Binary labelings for plane quadrangulations and their relatives
Felsner, Stefan; Huemer, Clemens; Kappes, Sarah; Orden, David (2010)
Article
Open AccessMotivated by the bijection between Schnyder labelings of a plane triangulation and partitions of its inner edges into three trees, we look for binary labelings for quadrangulations (whose edges can be partitioned into two ... -

Carathodory's theorem in depth
Fabila Monroy, Ruy; Huemer, Clemens (2017-07-01)
Article
Open AccessLet X be a finite set of points in RdRd . The Tukey depth of a point q with respect to X is the minimum number tX(q)tX(q) of points of X in a halfspace containing q. In this paper we prove a depth version of Carathéodory’s ... -
Characteristic polynomials of production matrices for geometric graphs
Huemer, Clemens; Pilz, Alexander; Seara Ojea, Carlos; Silveira, Rodrigo Ignacio (2017-08-01)
Article
Open AccessAn n×n production matrix for a class of geometric graphs has the property that the numbers of these geometric graphs on up to n vertices can be read off from the powers of the matrix. Recently, we obtained such production ... -
Coloring decompositions of complete geometric graphs
Huemer, Clemens; Lara, Dolores; Rubio-Montiel, Christian (2019-06-25)
Article
Open AccessA decomposition of a non-empty simple graph G is a pair [G,P] such that P is a set of non-empty induced subgraphs of G, and every edge of G belongs to exactly one subgraph in P. The chromatic index ¿'([G,P]) of a decomposition ... -
Compatible spanning trees
Garcia Olaverri, Alfredo Martin; Huemer, Clemens; Hurtado Díaz, Fernando Alfredo; Tejel Altarriba, Francisco Javier (2014-07-01)
Article
Open AccessTwo plane geometric graphs are said to be compatible when their union is a plane geometric graph. Let S be a set of n points in the Euclidean plane in general position and let T be any given plane geometric spanning tree ... -

Edge-Removal and Non-Crossing Configurations in Geometric Graphs
Aichholzer, Oswin; Cabello, Sergio; Fabila Monroy, Ruy; Flores Peñaloza, David; Hackl, Thomas; Huemer, Clemens; Hurtado Díaz, Fernando Alfredo; Wood, David (2010)
Article
Open AccessA geometric graph is a graph G = (V;E) drawn in the plane, such that V is a point set in general position and E is a set of straight-line segments whose endpoints belong to V . We study the following extremal problem for ... -
Empty monochromatic simplices
Aichholzer, Oswin; Fabila Monroy, Ruy; Hackl, Thomas; Huemer, Clemens; Urrutia Galicia, Jorge (2014-03-01)
Article
Open AccessLet S be a k-colored (finite) set of n points in , da parts per thousand yen3, in general position, that is, no (d+1) points of S lie in a common (d-1)-dimensional hyperplane. We count the number of empty monochromatic ... -
Empty non-convex and convex four-gons in random point sets
Fabila Monroy, Ruy; Huemer, Clemens; Mitsche, Dieter (2015-03-01)
Article
Open AccessLet S be a set of n points distributed uniformly and independently in a convex, bounded set in the plane. A four-gon is called empty if it contains no points of S in its interior. We show that the expected number of empty ... -
Large bichromatic point sets admit empty monochromatic 4-gons
Aichholzer, Oswin; Hackl, Thomas; Huemer, Clemens; Hurtado Díaz, Fernando Alfredo; Vogtenhuber, Birgit (2009)
Conference report
Open AccessWe consider a variation of a problem stated by Erd˝os and Szekeres in 1935 about the existence of a number fES(k) such that any set S of at least fES(k) points in general position in the plane has a subset of k points that ... -
Lower bounds for the number of small convex k-holes

Article
Open AccessLet S be a set of n points in the plane in general position, that is, no three points of S are on a line. We consider an Erdos-type question on the least number h(k)(n) of convex k-holes in S, and give improved lower bounds ... -
