Given a set of point sites, a sona drawing is a single closed curve, disjoint from the sites and intersecting itself only in simple crossings, so that each bounded region of its complement contains exactly one of the sites. We prove that it is NP-hard to find a minimum-length sona drawing for $n$ given points, and that such a curve can be longer than the TSP tour of the same points by a factor $> 1.5487875$. When restricted to tours that lie on the edges of a square grid, with points in the grid cells, we prove that it is NP-hard even to decide whether such a tour exists. These results answer questions posed at CCCG 2006.

We show new applications of the nearest-neighbor chain algorithm, a technique that originated in agglomerative hierarchical clustering. We apply it to a diverse class of geometric problems: we construct the greedy multi-fragment tour for Euclidean TS P in $O(nlog n)$ time in any fixed dimension and for Steiner TSP in planar graphs in $O(nsqrt{n}log n)$ time; we compute motorcycle graphs (which are a central part in straight skeleton algorithms) in $O(n^{4/3+varepsilon})$ time for any $varepsilon>0$; we introduce a narcissistic variant of the $k$-attribute stable matching model, and solve it in $O(n^{2-4/(k(1+varepsilon)+2)})$ time; we give a linear-time $2$-approximation for a 1D geometric set cover problem with applications to radio station placement.
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$, the dominating set problem asks for a minimum subset of vertices $Dsubseteq V$ such that every vertex $uin Vsetminus D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex $vin D$. That is, the set $D$ satisfies the condition that $|N[v]cap D |geq 1$ for each $vin V$, where $N[v]$ is the closed neighborhood of $v$. In this paper, we study two variants of the classical dominating set problem: $boldmath{k}$-tuple dominating set ($k$-DS) problem and Liars dominating set (LDS) problem, and obtain several algorithmic and hardness results. On the algorithmic side, we present a constant factor ($frac{11}{2}$)-approximation algorithm for the Liars dominating set problem on unit disk graphs. Then, we obtain a PTAS for the $boldmath{k}$-tuple dominating set problem on unit disk graphs. On the hardness side, we show a $Omega (n^2)$ bits lower bound for the space complexity of any (randomized) streaming algorithm for Liars dominating set problem as well as for the $boldmath{k}$-tuple dominating set problem. Furthermore, we prove that the Liars dominating set problem on bipartite graphs is W[2]-hard.
A homomorphism from a graph G to a graph H is a vertex mapping f from the vertex set of G to the vertex set of H such that there is an edge between vertices f(u) and f(v) of H whenever there is an edge between vertices u and v of G. The H-Colouring p roblem is to decide whether or not a graph G allows a homomorphism to a fixed graph H. We continue a study on a variant of this problem, namely the Surjective H-Colouring problem, which imposes the homomorphism to be vertex-surjective. We build upon previous results and show that this problem is NP-complete for every connected graph H that has exactly two vertices with a self-loop as long as these two vertices are not adjacent. As a result, we can classify the computational complexity of Surjective H-Colouring for every graph H on at most four vertices.
A emph{Stick graph} is an intersection graph of axis-aligned segments such that the left end-points of the horizontal segments and the bottom end-points of the vertical segments lie on a `ground line, a line with slope $-1$. It is an open question to decide in polynomial time whether a given bipartite graph $G$ with bipartition $Acup B$ has a Stick representation where the vertices in $A$ and $B$ correspond to horizontal and vertical segments, respectively. We prove that $G$ has a Stick representation if and only if there are orderings of $A$ and $B$ such that $G$s bipartite adjacency matrix with rows $A$ and columns $B$ excludes three small `forbidden submatrices. This is similar to characterizations for other classes of bipartite intersection graphs. We present an algorithm to test whether given orderings of $A$ and $B$ permit a Stick representation respecting those orderings, and to find such a representation if it exists. The algorithm runs in time linear in the size of the adjacency matrix. For the case when only the ordering of $A$ is given, we present an $O(|A|^3|B|^3)$-time algorithm. When neither ordering is given, we present some partial results about graphs that are, or are not, Stick representable.

Proceedings of GD2020: This volume contains the papers presented at GD~2020, the 28th International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization, held on September 18-20, 2020 online. Graph drawing is concerned with the geometric representati on of graphs and constitutes the algorithmic core of network visualization. Graph drawing and network visualization are motivated by applications where it is crucial to visually analyse and interact with relational datasets. Information about the conference series and past symposia is maintained at http://www.graphdrawing.org. The 2020 edition of the conference was hosted by University Of British Columbia, with Will Evans as chair of the Organizing Committee. A total of 251 participants attended the conference.
