In simpler graph-theoretical terms our result can be viewed as follows. Given a graph G with the vertex set partitioned into three parts embedded on a 2-sphere, our algorithm decides if we can augment G by adding edges without creating an edge-crossing so that in the resulting spherical graph the vertices of each part induce a connected sub-graph. We proceed by a reduction to the problem of testing the existence of a perfect matching in planar bipartite graphs. We formulate our result in a slightly more general setting of cyclic clustered graphs, i.e., the simple graph obtained by contracting each cluster, where we disregard loops and multi-edges, is a cycle."}],"external_id":{"isi":["000412039700001"],"arxiv":["1602.01346"]},"volume":66,"quality_controlled":"1","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","intvolume":" 66","arxiv":1,"year":"2017","_id":"794","isi":1,"status":"public","doi":"10.1016/j.comgeo.2017.06.016","author":[{"first_name":"Radoslav","last_name":"Fulek","full_name":"Fulek, Radoslav","orcid":"0000-0001-8485-1774","id":"39F3FFE4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"citation":{"ama":"Fulek R.
