A pair of non-adjacent edges is said to be separated in a circular ordering of vertices, if the endpoints of the two edges do not alternate in the ordering. The circular separation dimension of a graph $G$, denoted by $pi^circ(G)$, is the minimum number of circular orderings of the vertices of $G$ such that every pair of non-adjacent edges is separated in at least one of the circular orderings. This notion is introduced by Loeb and West in their recent paper. In this article, we consider two subclasses of planar graphs, namely $2$-outerplanar graphs and series-parallel graphs. A $2$-outerplanar graph has a planar embedding such that the subgraph obtained by removal of the vertices of the exterior face is outerplanar. We prove that if $G$ is $2$-outerplanar then $pi^circ(G) = 2$. We also prove that if $G$ is a series-parallel graph then $pi^circ(G) leq 2$.

A circular-arc graph is the intersection graph of arcs of a circle. It is a well-studied graph model with numerous natural applications. A certifying algorithm is an algorithm that outputs a certificate, along with its answer (be it positive or negat ive), where the certificate can be used to easily justify the given answer. While the recognition of circular-arc graphs has been known to be polynomial since the 1980s, no polynomial-time certifying recognition algorithm is known to date, despite such algorithms being found for many subclasses of circular-arc graphs. This is largely due to the fact that a forbidden structure characterization of circular-arc graphs is not known, even though the problem has been intensely studied since the seminal work of Klee in the 1960s. In this contribution, we settle this problem. We present the first forbidden structure characterization of circular-arc graphs. Our obstruction has the form of mutually avoiding walks in the graph. It naturally extends a similar obstruction that characterizes interval graphs. As a consequence, we give the first polynomial-time certifying algorithm for the recognition of circular-arc graphs.
We show that the asymptotic dimension of a geodesic space that is homeomorphic to a subset in the plane is at most three. In particular, the asymptotic dimension of the plane and any planar graph is at most three.
In this short note, we show two NP-completeness results regarding the emph{simultaneous representation problem}, introduced by Lubiw and Jampani. The simultaneous representation problem for a given class of intersection graphs asks if some $k$ graphs can be represented so that every vertex is represented by the same interval in each representation. We prove that it is NP-complete to decide this for the class of interval and circular-arc graphs in the case when $k$ is a part of the input and graphs are not in a sunflower position.
A graph where each vertex $v$ has a list $L(v)$ of available colors is $L$-colorable if there is a proper coloring such that the color of $v$ is in $L(v)$ for each $v$. A graph is $k$-choosable if every assignment $L$ of at least $k$ colors to each v ertex guarantees an $L$-coloring. Given a list assignment $L$, an $L$-request for a vertex $v$ is a color $cin L(v)$. In this paper, we look at a variant of the widely studied class of precoloring extension problems from [Z. Dvov{r}ak, S. Norin, and L. Postle: List coloring with requests. J. Graph Theory 2019], wherein one must satisfy enough, as opposed to all, of the requested set of precolors. A graph $G$ is $varepsilon$-flexible for list size $k$ if for any $k$-list assignment $L$, and any set $S$ of $L$-requests, there is an $L$-coloring of $G$ satisfying an $varepsilon$-fraction of the requests in $S$. It is conjectured that planar graphs are $varepsilon$-flexible for list size $5$, yet it is proved only for list size $6$ and for certain subclasses of planar graphs. We give a stronger version of the main tool used in the proofs of the aforementioned results. By doing so, we improve upon a result by Masav{r}ik and show that planar graphs without $K_4^-$ are $varepsilon$-flexible for list size $5$. We also prove that planar graphs without $4$-cycles and $3$-cycle distance at least 2 are $varepsilon$-flexible for list size $4$. Finally, we introduce a new (slightly weaker) form of $varepsilon$-flexibility where each vertex has exactly one request. In that setting, we provide a stronger tool and we demonstrate its usefulness to further extend the class of graphs that are $varepsilon$-flexible for list size $5$.
A graph is NIC-planar if it admits a drawing in the plane with at most one crossing per edge and such that two pairs of crossing edges share at most one common end vertex. NIC-planarity generalizes IC-planarity, which allows a vertex to be incident t o at most one crossing edge, and specializes 1-planarity, which only requires at most one crossing per edge. We characterize embeddings of maximal NIC-planar graphs in terms of generalized planar dual graphs. The characterization is used to derive tight bounds on the density of maximal NIC-planar graphs which ranges between 3.2(n-2) and 3.6(n-2). Further, we prove that optimal NIC-planar graphs with 3.6(n-2) edges have a unique embedding and can be recognized in linear time, whereas the general recognition problem of NIC-planar graphs is NP-complete. In addition, we show that there are NIC-planar graphs that do not admit right angle crossing drawings, which distinguishes NIC-planar from IC-planar graphs.
