Combined with a recent result of Holmsen and Lee, it gives fractional Helly theorem, and consequently the existence of weak ε-nets as well as a (p,q)-theorem. More precisely: Let X be either ℝ^d, smooth real d-manifold, or a finite d-dimensional simplicial complex. Then if F is a finite, intersection-closed family of sets in X such that the ith reduced Betti number (with ℤ₂ coefficients) of any set in F is at most b for every non-negative integer i less or equal to k, then the Radon number of F is bounded in terms of b and X. Here k is the smallest integer larger or equal to d/2 - 1 if X = ℝ^d; k=d-1 if X is a smooth real d-manifold and not a surface, k=0 if X is a surface and k=d if X is a d-dimensional simplicial complex. Using the recent result of the author and Kalai, we manage to prove the following optimal bound on fractional Helly number for families of open sets in a surface: Let F be a finite family of open sets in a surface S such that the intersection of any subfamily of F is either empty, or path-connected. Then the fractional Helly number of F is at most three.

A partial triangulation on P is a full triangulation of some subset P' of P containing all extreme points in P. A bistellar flip on a partial triangulation either flips an edge, removes a non-extreme point of degree 3, or adds a point in P ⧵ P' as vertex of degree 3. The bistellar flip graph has all partial triangulations as vertices, and a pair of partial triangulations is adjacent if they can be obtained from one another by a bistellar flip. The goal of this paper is to investigate the structure of this graph, with emphasis on its connectivity. For sets P of n points in general position, we show that the bistellar flip graph is (n-3)-connected, thereby answering, for sets in general position, an open questions raised in a book (by De Loera, Rambau, and Santos) and a survey (by Lee and Santos) on triangulations. This matches the situation for the subfamily of regular triangulations (i.e., partial triangulations obtained by lifting the points and projecting the lower convex hull), where (n-3)-connectivity has been known since the late 1980s through the secondary polytope (Gelfand, Kapranov, Zelevinsky) and Balinski’s Theorem. Our methods also yield the following results (see the full version [Wagner and Welzl, 2020]): (i) The bistellar flip graph can be covered by graphs of polytopes of dimension n-3 (products of secondary polytopes). (ii) A partial triangulation is regular, if it has distance n-3 in the Hasse diagram of the partial order of partial subdivisions from the trivial subdivision. (iii) All partial triangulations are regular iff the trivial subdivision has height n-3 in the partial order of partial subdivisions. (iv) There are arbitrarily large sets P with non-regular partial triangulations, while every proper subset has only regular triangulations, i.e., there are no small certificates for the existence of non-regular partial triangulations (answering a question by F. Santos in the unexpected direction)."}],"oa":1,"_id":"7990","oa_version":"Published Version","type":"conference","day":"01","status":"public","has_accepted_license":"1","date_created":"2020-06-22T09:14:19Z","arxiv":1,"doi":"10.4230/LIPIcs.SoCG.2020.67","ddc":["510"],"corr_author":"1","scopus_import":"1","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1868-8969"],"isbn":["9783959771436"]},"title":"Connectivity of triangulation flip graphs in the plane (Part II: Bistellar flips)","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publisher":"Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik","month":"06","publication":"36th International Symposium on Computational Geometry","article_processing_charge":"No","quality_controlled":"1","conference":{"end_date":"2020-06-26","name":"SoCG: Symposium on Computational Geometry","start_date":"2020-06-22","location":"Zürich, Switzerland"},"date_published":"2020-06-01T00:00:00Z","citation":{"ista":"Wagner U, Welzl E. 2020.

Our process, which we call homotopic curve shortening (HCS), starts with a closed curve (which might self-intersect) in the presence of a set P⊂ ℝ² of point obstacles, and evolves in discrete steps, where each step consists of (1) taking shortcuts around the obstacles, and (2) reducing the curve to its shortest homotopic equivalent. We find experimentally that, if the initial curve is held fixed and P is chosen to be either a very fine regular grid or a uniformly random point set, then HCS behaves at the limit like the affine curve-shortening flow (ACSF). This connection between HCS and ACSF generalizes the link between \"grid peeling\" and the ACSF observed by Eppstein et al. (2017), which applied only to convex curves, and which was studied only for regular grids. We prove that HCS satisfies some properties analogous to those of ACSF: HCS is invariant under affine transformations, preserves convexity, and does not increase the total absolute curvature. Furthermore, the number of self-intersections of a curve, or intersections between two curves (appropriately defined), does not increase. Finally, if the initial curve is simple, then the number of inflection points (appropriately defined) does not increase."}],"oa":1,"project":[{"name":"Algorithms for Embeddings and Homotopy Theory","call_identifier":"FWF","grant_number":"P31312","_id":"26611F5C-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"}],"_id":"7991","oa_version":"Published Version","type":"conference","day":"01","has_accepted_license":"1","status":"public","arxiv":1,"doi":"10.4230/LIPIcs.SoCG.2020.12","date_created":"2020-06-22T09:14:19Z","ddc":["510"],"publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9783959771436"],"issn":["1868-8969"]},"scopus_import":"1","title":"Homotopic curve shortening and the affine curve-shortening flow","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publisher":"Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/","month":"06","publication":"36th International Symposium on Computational Geometry","article_processing_charge":"No","quality_controlled":"1","conference":{"start_date":"2020-06-22","location":"Zürich, Switzerland","end_date":"2020-06-26","name":"SoCG: Symposium on Computational Geometry"},"date_published":"2020-06-01T00:00:00Z","citation":{"short":"S.

Given a point p in the interior of K, a hyperplane h passing through p is called barycentric if p is the barycenter of K ∩ h. In 1961, Grünbaum raised the question whether, for every K, there exists an interior point p through which there are at least n+1 distinct barycentric hyperplanes. Two years later, this was seemingly resolved affirmatively by showing that this is the case if p=p₀ is the point of maximal depth in K. However, while working on a related question, we noticed that one of the auxiliary claims in the proof is incorrect. Here, we provide a counterexample; this re-opens Grünbaum’s question. It follows from known results that for n ≥ 2, there are always at least three distinct barycentric cuts through the point p₀ ∈ K of maximal depth. Using tools related to Morse theory we are able to improve this bound: four distinct barycentric cuts through p₀ are guaranteed if n ≥ 3."}],"oa":1,"_id":"7992","oa_version":"Published Version","day":"01","type":"conference","status":"public","has_accepted_license":"1","date_created":"2020-06-22T09:14:20Z","doi":"10.4230/LIPIcs.SoCG.2020.62","arxiv":1,"scopus_import":"1","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1868-8969"],"isbn":["9783959771436"]},"corr_author":"1","ddc":["510"],"title":"Barycentric cuts through a convex body","publisher":"Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"month":"06","publication":"36th International Symposium on Computational Geometry","quality_controlled":"1","article_processing_charge":"No","conference":{"end_date":"2020-06-26","name":"SoCG: Symposium on Computational Geometry","location":"Zürich, Switzerland","start_date":"2020-06-22"},"citation":{"short":"Z.

However, extracting the desired information from a triangulation (e.g., evaluating an invariant) is often computationally very expensive. In recent years this complexity barrier has been successfully tackled in some cases by importing ideas from the theory of parameterized algorithms into the realm of 3-manifolds. Various computationally hard problems were shown to be efficiently solvable for input triangulations that are sufficiently “tree-like.”\r\nIn this thesis we focus on the key combinatorial parameter in the above context: we consider the treewidth of a compact, orientable 3-manifold, i.e., the smallest treewidth of the dual graph of any triangulation thereof. By building on the work of Scharlemann–Thompson and Scharlemann–Schultens–Saito on generalized Heegaard splittings, and on the work of Jaco–Rubinstein on layered triangulations, we establish quantitative relations between the treewidth and classical topological invariants of a 3-manifold. In particular, among other results, we show that the treewidth of a closed, orientable, irreducible, non-Haken 3-manifold is always within a constant factor of its Heegaard genus."}],"author":[{"first_name":"Kristóf","last_name":"Huszár","orcid":"0000-0002-5445-5057","full_name":"Huszár, Kristóf","id":"33C26278-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"degree_awarded":"PhD","supervisor":[{"id":"36690CA2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Wagner, Uli","orcid":"0000-0002-1494-0568","last_name":"Wagner","first_name":"Uli"},{"full_name":"Spreer, Jonathan","last_name":"Spreer","first_name":"Jonathan"}],"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:48:08Z","alternative_title":["ISTA Thesis"],"date_updated":"2026-04-08T07:21:28Z","publication_status":"published","year":"2020","user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"dissertation_contains","status":"public","id":"6556"},{"relation":"dissertation_contains","status":"public","id":"7093"}]},"file":[{"access_level":"open_access","date_created":"2020-06-26T10:03:58Z","checksum":"bd8be6e4f1addc863dfcc0fad29ee9c3","creator":"khuszar","file_name":"Kristof_Huszar-Thesis.pdf","content_type":"application/pdf","file_id":"8034","relation":"main_file","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:48:08Z","file_size":2637562},{"file_id":"8035","content_type":"application/x-zip-compressed","relation":"source_file","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:48:08Z","file_size":7163491,"file_name":"Kristof_Huszar-Thesis-source.zip","date_created":"2020-06-26T10:10:06Z","checksum":"d5f8456202b32f4a77552ef47a2837d1","creator":"khuszar","access_level":"closed"}],"citation":{"short":"K.

In this paper we study the problem of extending a simple drawing D(G) of a graph G by inserting a set of edges from the complement of G into D(G) such that the result is a simple drawing. In the context of rectilinear drawings, the problem is trivial. For pseudolinear drawings, the existence of such an extension follows from Levi’s enlargement lemma. In contrast, we prove that deciding if a given set of edges can be inserted into a simple drawing is NP-complete. Moreover, we show that the maximization version of the problem is APX-hard. We also present a polynomial-time algorithm for deciding whether one edge uv can be inserted into D(G) when {u,v} is a dominating set for the graph G.","lang":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"UlWa"}],"_id":"7230","ec_funded":1,"project":[{"name":"ISTplus - Postdoctoral Fellowships","grant_number":"754411","_id":"260C2330-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"H2020"}],"oa_version":"Preprint","page":"230-243","oa":1,"user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","isi":1,"volume":11904,"year":"2019","publication_status":"published","date_updated":"2025-04-14T07:44:07Z","alternative_title":["LNCS"],"publication":"27th International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization","article_processing_charge":"No","quality_controlled":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publisher":"Springer Nature","month":"11","intvolume":"     11904","conference":{"end_date":"2019-09-20","name":"GD: Graph Drawing and Network Visualization","location":"Prague, Czech Republic","start_date":"2019-09-17"},"date_published":"2019-11-28T00:00:00Z","citation":{"mla":"Arroyo Guevara, Alan M., et al. “Extending Simple Drawings.” <i>27th International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization</i>, vol. 11904, Springer Nature, 2019, pp. 230–43, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-35802-0_18\">10.1007/978-3-030-35802-0_18</a>.","ama":"Arroyo Guevara AM, Derka M, Parada I.

A drawing of a graph on a surface is independently even if every pair of nonadjacent edges in the drawing crosses an even number of times. The Z_2-genus of a graph G, denoted by g_0(G), is the minimum g such that G has an independently even drawing on M_g. By a result of Battle, Harary, Kodama and Youngs from 1962, the graph genus is additive over 2-connected blocks. In 2013, Schaefer and Stefankovic proved that the Z_2-genus of a graph is additive over 2-connected blocks as well, and asked whether this result can be extended to so-called 2-amalgamations, as an analogue of results by Decker, Glover, Huneke, and Stahl for the genus. We give the following partial answer. If G=G_1 cup G_2, G_1 and G_2 intersect in two vertices u and v, and G-u-v has k connected components (among which we count the edge uv if present), then |g_0(G)-(g_0(G_1)+g_0(G_2))|<=k+1. For complete bipartite graphs K_{m,n}, with n >= m >= 3, we prove that g_0(K_{m,n})/g(K_{m,n})=1-O(1/n). Similar results are proved also for the Euler Z_2-genus. We express the Z_2-genus of a graph using the minimum rank of partial symmetric matrices over Z_2; a problem that might be of independent interest.

A counterexample to the topological Tverberg conjecture asserts that if r is not a prime power and d ≥ 2r + 1, then there is an almost r-embedding ∆(d+1)(r−1) → Rd. This was improved by Blagojevi´c–Frick–Ziegler using a simple construction of higher-dimensional counterexamples by taking k-fold join power of lower-dimensional ones. We improve this further (for d large compared to r): If r is not a prime power and N := (d+ 1)r−r l\r\nd + 2 r + 1 m−2, then there is an almost r-embedding ∆N → Rd. For the r-fold van Kampen–Flores conjecture we also produce counterexamples which are stronger than previously known. Our proof is based on generalizations of the Mabillard–Wagner theorem on construction of almost r-embeddings from equivariant maps, and of the Ozaydin theorem on existence of equivariant maps.

It is well known that any triangulation of a point set can be reconfigured to any other triangulation by some sequence of flips. We explore this question in the setting where each edge of a triangulation has a label, and a flip transfers the label of the removed edge to the new edge. It is not true that every labelled triangulation of a point set can be reconfigured to every other labelled triangulation via a sequence of flips, but we characterize when this is possible. There is an obvious necessary condition: for each label l, if edge e has label l in the first triangulation and edge f has label l in the second triangulation, then there must be some sequence of flips that moves label l from e to f, ignoring all other labels. Bose, Lubiw, Pathak and Verdonschot formulated the Orbit Conjecture, which states that this necessary condition is also sufficient, i.e. that all labels can be simultaneously mapped to their destination if and only if each label individually can be mapped to its destination. We prove this conjecture. Furthermore, we give a polynomial-time algorithm (with 𝑂(𝑛8) being a crude bound on the run-time) to find a sequence of flips to reconfigure one labelled triangulation to another, if such a sequence exists, and we prove an upper bound of 𝑂(𝑛7) on the length of the flip sequence. Our proof uses the topological result that the sets of pairwise non-crossing edges on a planar point set form a simplicial complex that is homeomorphic to a high-dimensional ball (this follows from a result of Orden and Santos; we give a different proof based on a shelling argument). The dual cell complex of this simplicial ball, called the flip complex, has the usual flip graph as its 1-skeleton. We use properties of the 2-skeleton of the flip complex to prove the Orbit Conjecture.","lang":"eng"}],"external_id":{"isi":["000466130000009"],"arxiv":["1710.02741"]},"author":[{"last_name":"Lubiw","first_name":"Anna","full_name":"Lubiw, Anna"},{"last_name":"Masárová","first_name":"Zuzana","id":"45CFE238-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Masárová, Zuzana","orcid":"0000-0002-6660-1322"},{"first_name":"Uli","last_name":"Wagner","orcid":"0000-0002-1494-0568","full_name":"Wagner, Uli","id":"36690CA2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"department":[{"_id":"UlWa"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","project":[{"name":"IST Austria Open Access Fund","_id":"B67AFEDC-15C9-11EA-A837-991A96BB2854"}],"_id":"5986","oa":1,"article_type":"original","page":"880-898"},{"conference":{"end_date":"2019-06-21","name":"SoCG: Symposium on Computational Geometry","location":"Portland, Oregon, United States","start_date":"2019-06-18"},"date_published":"2019-06-01T00:00:00Z","citation":{"ieee":"K.

In this setting the relationship between the topology of a 3-manifold and its treewidth is of particular interest. First, as a corollary of work of Jaco and Rubinstein, we prove that for any closed, orientable 3-manifold M the treewidth tw(M) is at most 4g(M)-2, where g(M) denotes Heegaard genus of M. In combination with our earlier work with Wagner, this yields that for non-Haken manifolds the Heegaard genus and the treewidth are within a constant factor. Second, we characterize all 3-manifolds of treewidth one: These are precisely the lens spaces and a single other Seifert fibered space. Furthermore, we show that all remaining orientable Seifert fibered spaces over the 2-sphere or a non-orientable surface have treewidth two. In particular, for every spherical 3-manifold we exhibit a triangulation of treewidth at most two. Our results further validate the parameter of treewidth (and other related parameters such as cutwidth or congestion) to be useful for topological computing, and also shed more light on the scope of existing FPT-algorithms in the field."}],"alternative_title":["LIPIcs"],"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:33Z","date_updated":"2026-04-08T07:21:27Z","keyword":["computational 3-manifold topology","fixed-parameter tractability","layered triangulations","structural graph theory","treewidth","cutwidth","Heegaard genus"],"year":"2019","volume":129,"publication_status":"published","file":[{"access_level":"open_access","date_created":"2019-06-12T06:45:33Z","checksum":"29d18c435368468aa85823dabb157e43","creator":"kschuh","file_name":"2019_LIPIcs-Huszar.pdf","content_type":"application/pdf","file_id":"6557","relation":"main_file","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:33Z","file_size":905885}],"related_material":{"record":[{"id":"8032","relation":"part_of_dissertation","status":"public"}]},"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}]
