For a graph G and a collection of vertex pairs {(s1, t1), . . . , (sk, tk)}, the k disjoint paths problem is to find k vertex-disjoint paths P1, . . . , Pk, where Pi is a path fr...
We provide the first linear-space data structure with provable sublinear query time for exact point-topoint shortest path queries in planar graphs. We prove that for any planar gr...
We study the maximum edge-disjoint paths problem in undirected planar graphs: given a graph G and node pairs s1t1, s2t2, . . ., sktk, the goal is to maximize the number of pairs t...

Abstract. Let G be a directed planar graph of complexity n, each arc having a nonnegative length. Let s and t be two distinct faces of G; let s1, . . . , sk be vertices incident wi...
We consider the problem of coloring a planar graph with the minimum number of colors so that each color class avoids one or more forbidden graphs as subgraphs. We perform a detail...
