The crossing number problem is to find the smallest number of edge crossings necessary when drawing a graph into the plane. Eventhough the problem is NP-hard, we are interested in ...
The nth crossing number of a graph G, denoted crn(G), is the minimum number of crossings in a drawing of G on an orientable surface of genus n. We prove that for every a > b &g...
We introduce a new technique for proving kernelization lower bounds, called cross-composition. A classical problem L cross-composes into a parameterized problem Q if an instance o...

A topological graph is quasi-planar, if it does not contain three pairwise crossing edges. Agarwal et al. [2] proved that these graphs have a linear number of edges. We give a sim...
Abstract. Directed graphs are commonly drawn by the Sugiyama algorithm, where crossing reduction is a crucial phase. It is done by repeated one-sided 2-level crossing minimizations...
