Well-Formed Separator Sequences, with an Application to Hypergraph Drawing
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Given a hypergraph , the Planar Support problem asks whether there is a planar graph on the same vertex set as such that each hyperedge induces a connected subgraph of . Planar Support is motivated by applications in graph drawing and data visualization. We show that Planar Support is fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by the number of hyperedges in the input hypergraph and the outerplanarity number of the sought planar graph. To this end, we develop novel structural results for -outerplanar triangulated disks, showing that they admit sequences of separators with structural properties enabling data reduction. This allows us to obtain a problem kernel for Planar Support, thus showing its fixed-parameter tractability.
