Title
Gap-planar Graphs.
Abstract
We consider edge insertion and deletion operations that increase the connectivity of a given planar straight-line graph (PSLG), while minimizing the total edge length of the output. We show that every connected PSLG G=(V,E) in general position can be augmented to a 2-connected PSLG (V,E∪E+) by adding new edges of total Euclidean length ‖E+‖<2‖E‖, and this bound is the best possible. An optimal edge set E+ can be computed in O(|V|4) time; however the problem becomes NP-hard when G is disconnected. Further, we show that there is a sequence of edge insertions and deletions that transforms a connected PSLG G=(V,E) into a planar straight-line cycle G′=(V,E′) such that ‖E′‖≤2‖MST(V)‖, and the graph remains connected with edge length below ‖E‖+‖MST(V)‖ at all stages. These bounds are the best possible.
