Given a planar graph G, we consider drawings of G in the plane where edges are represented by straight line segments (which possibly inter- sect). Such a drawing is specified by an injective embedding of the ver- tex set of G into the plane. Let fix(G, ) be the maximum integer k such that there exists a crossing-free redrawing 0 of G which keeps k vertices fixed, i.e., there exist k vertices v1,...,vk of G such that (vi) = 0(vi) for i = 1,...,k. We give examples of planar graphs G along with a drawing for which fix(G, ) = O( p n). In fact, such a drawing exists even if it is presup- posed that the vertices occupy any prescribed set of points on the boundary of a convex body. We also consider the parameter obf (G) of a graph G which is equal to the maximum number of edge crossings over all straight line drawings of G. We give examples of planar graphs with obf (G) ( 9 4 o(1))n 2 and prove that obf (T) ( 13 8 o(1))n 2 for every triangulation T. We also show that a given triangulation T can be eciently drawn with at least 0 .69obf (T) crossings. |
