Abstract: Let langleGr,Gbangle be a pair of plane st-graphs with the same vertex set V. A simultaneous visibility representation with L-shapes of langleGr,Gbangle is a pair of bar visibility representations langleGammar,Gammabangle such that, for every vertex vinV, Gammar(v) and Gammab(v) are a horizontal and a vertical segment, which share an end-point. In other words, every vertex is drawn as an L-shape, every edge of Gr is a vertical visibility segment, and every edge of Gb is a horizontal visibility segment. Also, no two L-shapes intersect each other. An L-shape has four possible rotations, and we assume that each vertex is given a rotation for its L-shape as part of the input. Our main results are: (i) a characterization of those pairs of plane st-graphs admitting such a representation, (ii) a cubic time algorithm to recognize them, and (iii) a linear time drawing algorithm if the test is positive.
