The Straight-Line RAC Drawing Problem Is NP-Hard

Abstract: Abstract. Recent cognitive experiments have shown that the negative impact of an edge crossing on the human understanding of a graph drawing, tends to be eliminated in the case where the crossing angles are greater than 70 degrees. This motivated the study of RAC drawings, in which every pair of crossing edges intersects at right angle. In this work, we demonstrate a class of graphs with unique RAC combinatorial embedding and we employ members of this class in order to show that it is N P-hard to decide whethe… Show more

“…For 1-planarity this was proved by Grigoriev and Bodlaender [24] and by Korzhik and Mohar [28], and improved to hold for graphs of bounded bandwidth, pathwidth, or treewidth [4], for near planar graphs [15], and for 3-connected 1-planar graphs with a given rotation system [3]. Moreover, the recognition of right angle crossing graphs (RAC) [1] and of fan-planar graphs [5,6] is N P-hard. On the other hand, Eades et al [21] introduced a linear time testing algorithm for (planar) maximal 1-planar graphs that are given with a rotation system.…”

“…Proof of Theorem 1.3: Let G = (V, E) be a topological graph on n vertices, and assume that every edge in E is partitioned into a red end segment and a blue end segment, such that: (1) no two end segments of the same color cross; (2) every pair of end segments intersects at most once; and (3) no blue end segment is crossed by more than k red end segments that share a vertex. Assume further that G is drawn so that the number of edge crossings is minimized subject to the conditions (1)- (3). We show that G has O(kn) edges.…”

“…Consequently research in that direction was intensified. In particular right angle crossing drawings (or short RAC drawings) were studied [5,11], and NP-hardness of the decision version for right angles was proven [2].…”
