TLDR
In this article, the problem of computing minimum height planar straight line drawings of outerplanar graphs with their vertices placed on a two-dimensional grid was solved for 2-vertex-connected graphs.
Abstract
Given a connected outerplanar graph G of pathwidth p, we give an algorithm to add edges to G to get a supergraph of G, which is 2-vertex-connected, outerplanar and of pathwidth O(p). This settles an open problem raised by Biedl, in the context of computing minimum height planar straight line drawings of outerplanar graphs, with their vertices placed on a two dimensional grid. In conjunction with the result of this paper, the constant factor approximation algorithm for this problem obtained by Biedl for 2-vertex-connected outerplanar graphs will work for all outer planar graphs.

A polynomial-time algorithm for Outerplanar Diameter Improvement

TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic programming algorithm was proposed to solve the outerplanar diameter improvement problem in polynomial time, where the problem is to add edges to a graph G in such a way that the resulting graph is planar and has diameter at most D.

A Polynomial-Time Algorithm for Outerplanar Diameter Improvement

TL;DR: A dynamic programming algorithm is provided that solves the Outerplanar Diameter Improvement problem in polynomial time and demonstrates several structural analogues to the celebrated and challenging Planar D diameter Improvement problem, where the resulting graph should, instead, be planar.

On the Treewidth of Planar Minor Free Graphs

TL;DR: It is proved that the treewidth of every planar graph excluding a graph having a poly-line \(p \times q\)-grid drawing is \(O(p\sqrt{q})", which is asymptotically optimal.

Embedding planar graphs on the grid

TL;DR: It is shown that each plane graph of order n 2 3 has a straight line embedding on the n-2 by n-1 grid that is computable in time O(n), and a nice feature of the vertex-coordinates is that they have a purely combinatorial meaning.

Regular ArticleGraph Minors: XV. Giant Steps

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the problem of drawing a graph with a subgraph with high representativity on a surface and showing that the drawing of the subgraph can be extended up to 3-separations if a bounded number of "vortices" are present in the drawing.
