We study $k$-page upward book embeddings ($k$UBEs) of $st$-graphs, that is, book embeddings of single-source single-sink directed acyclic graphs on $k$ pages with the additional requirement that the vertices of the graph appear in a topological ordering along the spine of the book. We show that testing whether a graph admits a $k$UBE is NP-complete for $kgeq 3$. A hardness result for this problem was previously known only for $k = 6$ [Heath and Pemmaraju, 1999]. Motivated by this negative result, we focus our attention on $k=2$. On the algorithmic side, we present polynomial-time algorithms for testing the existence of $2$UBEs of planar $st$-graphs with branchwidth $beta$ and of plane $st$-graphs whose faces have a special structure. These algorithms run in $O(f(beta)cdot n+n^3)$ time and $O(n)$ time, respectively, where $f$ is a singly-exponential function on $beta$. Moreover, on the combinatorial side, we present two notable families of plane $st$-graphs that always admit an embedding-preserving $2$UBE.

We analyze a directed variation of the book embedding problem when the page partition is prespecified and the nodes on the spine must be in topological order (upward book embedding). Given a directed acyclic graph and a partition of its edges into $k$ pages, can we linearly order the vertices such that the drawing is upward (a topological sort) and each page avoids crossings? We prove that the problem is NP-complete for $kge 3$, and for $kge 4$ even in the special case when each page is a matching. By contrast, the problem can be solved in linear time for $k=2$ pages when pages are restricted to matchings. The problem comes from Jack Edmonds (1997), motivated as a generalization of the map folding problem from computational origami.
Let $S$ be a set of $n$ sites, each associated with a point in $mathbb{R}^2$ and a radius $r_s$ and let $mathcal{D}(S)$ be the disk graph on $S$. We consider the problem of designing data structures that maintain the connectivity structure of $mathcal{D}(S)$ while allowing the insertion and deletion of sites. For unit disk graphs we describe a data structure that has $O(log^2n)$ amortized update time and $O((log n)/(loglog n))$ amortized query time. For disk graphs where the ratio $Psi$ between the largest and smallest radius is bounded, we consider the decremental and the incremental case separately, in addition to the fully dynamic case. In the fully dynamic case we achieve amortized $O(Psi lambda_6(log n) log^{9}n)$ update time and $O(log n)$ query time, where $lambda_s(n)$ is the maximum length of a Davenport-Schinzel sequence of order $s$ on $n$ symbols. This improves the update time of the currently best known data structure by a factor of $Psi$ at the cost of an additional $O(log log n)$ factor in the query time. In the incremental case we manage to achieve a logarithmic dependency on $Psi$ with a data structure with $O(alpha(n))$ query and $O(logPsi lambda_6(log n) log^{9}n)$ update time. For the decremental setting we first develop a new dynamic data structure that allows us to maintain two sets $B$ and $P$ of disks, such than at a deletion of a disk from $B$ we can efficiently report all disks in $P$ that no longer intersect any disk of $B$. Having this data structure at hand, we get decremental data structures with an amortized query time of $O((log n)/(log log n))$ supporting $m$ deletions in $O((nlog^{5}n + m log^{9}n) lambda_6(log n) + nlogPsilog^4n)$ overall time for bounded radius ratio $Psi$ and $O(( nlog^{6} n + m log^{10}n) lambda_6(log n))$ for general disk graphs.
Partial edge drawing (PED) is a drawing style for non-planar graphs, in which edges are drawn only partially as pairs of opposing stubs on the respective end-vertices. In a PED, by erasing the central parts of edges, all edge crossings and the resulting visual clutter are hidden in the undrawn parts of the edges. In symmetric partial edge drawings (SPEDs), the two stubs of each edge are required to have the same length. It is known that maximizing the ink (or the total stub length) when transforming a straight-line graph drawing with crossings into a SPED is tractable for 2-plane input drawings, but NP-hard for unrestricted inputs. We show that the problem remains NP-hard even for 3-plane input drawings and establish NP-hardness of ink maximization for PEDs of 4-plane graphs. Yet, for k-plane input drawings whose edge intersection graph forms a collection of trees or, more generally, whose intersection graph has bounded treewidth, we present efficient algorithms for computing maximum-ink PEDs and SPEDs. We implemented the treewidth-based algorithms and show a brief experimental evaluation.
When can a plane graph with prescribed edge lengths and prescribed angles (from among ${0,180^circ, 360^circ$}) be folded flat to lie in an infinitesimally thin line, without crossings? This problem generalizes the classic theory of single-vertex flat origami with prescribed mountain-valley assignment, which corresponds to the case of a cycle graph. We characterize such flat-foldable plane graphs by two obviously necessary but also sufficient conditions, proving a conjecture made in 2001: the angles at each vertex should sum to $360^circ$, and every face of the graph must itself be flat foldable. This characterization leads to a linear-time algorithm for testing flat foldability of plane graphs with prescribed edge lengths and angles, and a polynomial-time algorithm for counting the number of distinct folded states.
Let $Vsubsetmathbb{R}^2$ be a set of $n$ sites in the plane. The unit disk graph $DG(V)$ of $V$ is the graph with vertex set $V$ in which two sites $v$ and $w$ are adjacent if and only if their Euclidean distance is at most $1$. We develop a compact routing scheme for $DG(V)$. The routing scheme preprocesses $DG(V)$ by assigning a label $l(v)$ to every site $v$ in $V$. After that, for any two sites $s$ and $t$, the scheme must be able to route a packet from $s$ to $t$ as follows: given the label of a current vertex $r$ (initially, $r=s$) and the label of the target vertex $t$, the scheme determines a neighbor $r$ of $r$. Then, the packet is forwarded to $r$, and the process continues until the packet reaches its desired target $t$. The resulting path between the source $s$ and the target $t$ is called the routing path of $s$ and $t$. The stretch of the routing scheme is the maximum ratio of the total Euclidean length of the routing path and of the shortest path in $DG(V)$, between any two sites $s, t in V$. We show that for any given $varepsilon>0$, we can construct a routing scheme for $DG(V)$ with diameter $D$ that achieves stretch $1+varepsilon$ and label size $O(log Dlog^3n/loglog n)$ (the constant in the $O$-Notation depends on $varepsilon$). In the past, several routing schemes for unit disk graphs have been proposed. Our scheme is the first one to achieve poly-logarithmic label size and arbitrarily small stretch without storing any additional information in the packet.
