A 3-dimensional orthogonal drawing of graph with maximum degree at most six positions the vertices at grid-points in the 3-dimensional orthogonal grid, and routes edges along grid lines such that...

Lower Bounds for the Number of Bends in Three-Dimensional Orthogonal Graph Drawings (2000)

David R. Wood

In this paper we present the first non-trivial lower bounds for the total number of bends in 3-D orthogonal drawings of maximum degree six graphs. In particular, we prove lower bounds for the number...

Lower Bounds for One-to-one Packet Routing on Trees using Hot-Potato Algorithms (2000)

Alan Roberts, Antonios Symvonis, David R. Wood

In this paper we consider hot-potato packet routing of one-to-one routing patterns on trees. For all sufficiently large n we construct a one-to-one packet routing problem on an n-node tree for which...

Two-Bend Three-Dimensional Orthogonal Grid Drawing of Maximum Degree Five Graphs (1998)

David R. Wood

Some recent algorithms for 3-dimensional orthogonal graph drawing use no more than 3 bends per edge route. It is unknown if there exists a graph requiring a 3-bend edge route. In this paper we...

An algorithm for finding a maximum clique in a graph (1997)

David R. Wood

This paper introduces a branch and bound algorithm for the maximumclique problem which applies existing clique finding and vertex coloring heuristics to determine lower and upper bounds for the size...

Towards a 2-Bends Algorithm for Three-Dimensional Orthogonal Graph Drawing (1997)

David R. Wood

Two recent algorithms for 3-dimensional orthogonal graph drawing both guarantee no more than 3 bends per edge, yet no graph has been shown to necessarily require a 3-bend edge. In this paper we...
