We present several properties concerning infinite maximal planar graphs. Results related to the infinite VAP-free planar graphs are also included. Finally, we extend the result of W. Goddard, who showed that every finite 4-connected maximal planar graph is 4-ordered, to infinite strong triangulations.

In the first part of this paper we investigate several statements concerning infinite maximal planar graphs which are equivalent in finite case. In the second one, for a given induced $\theta$-path (a finite induced path whose endvertices are adjacent to a vertex of infinite degree) in a 4-connected VAP-free maximal planar graph containing a vertex of infinite degree, a new $\theta$-path is constructed such that the resulting fan is tight.

We characterize the tight structure of a vertex-accumula-tion-free maximal planar graph with no separating triangles. Together with the result of Halin who gave an equivalent form for such graphs this yields that a tight structure always exists in every 4-connected maximal planar graph with one end.

We consider a facility layout problem with the objective of minimizing total transportation distance, which is the sum of rectilinear distances between facilities weighted by the frequency of trips between the facilities. It is assumed that facilities are required to have rectangular shapes and there is no empty space between the facilities in the layout. In this study, a graph theoretic heuristic is developed for the problem. In the heuristic, planar graphs are constructed to represent adjacencies between the facilities and then the graphs are converted to block layouts on a continual plane using a layout construction module. (Therefore, each graph corresponds to a layout.) An initial layout is obtained by constructing a maximal weighted planar graph and then the layout is improved by changing the planar graph. A simulated annealing algorithm is used to find a planar graph which gives the best layout. To show the performance of the proposed heuristic, computational experiments are done on randomly generated test problems and results are reported.

그래프 드로잉이란 추상적인 그래프를 시각적으로 구성하여 2차원 평면상에 그려주는 작업으로 대칭성은 그래프 드로잉시 고려해야 하는 미적 기준들 중에서 그래프의 구조 및 특성을 표현해주는 가장 중요한 기준이다. 그러나 일반 그래프에서 대칭성을 찾아 그려 주는 문제는 NP-hard로 증명이 되어 있기 때문에 현재까지는 트리, 외부평면 그래프, 직병렬 유향 그래프나 평면 그래프 등으로 대상을 한정시켜 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 병렬 컴퓨터나 컴퓨터 네트워크 구조를 가시화 시키기 위하여 많이 사용되는 그래프인 상호연결망(interconnection network)의 대칭성을 분석하고 분석된 대칭성을 최대로 보여주는 대칭 드로잉 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 그리고 이를 기반으로 하여 상호연결망의 기존 드로잉 방법들과 본 논문에서 제안한 대칭 드로잉 등 다양한 드로잉을 지원하는 WWW 기반의 상호연결망 드로잉 시스템을 구현하였다.Abstract Graph drawing is constructing a visually-informative drawing of an abstract graph. Symmetry is one of the most important aesthetic criteria that clearly reveals the structures and the properties of graphs. However, the problem of finding geometric symmetry in general graphs is NP-hard. So the previous work has focused on the subclasses of general graphs such as trees, outerplanar graphs, series-parallel digraphs and planar graphs.In this paper, we analyze the geometric symmetry on the various interconnection networks which have many applications in the design of computer networks, parallel computer architectures and other fields of computer science. Based on these analysis, we develope algorithms for constructing the drawings of interconnection networks which show the maximal symmetries.We also design and implement Interconnection Network Drawing System (INDS) on WWW which supports the various drawings including the conventional drawings and our suggested symmetric drawings.

A pathos block line cut-vertex graph of a tree T, written P BL_c(T), is a graph whose vertices are the blocks, cut-vertices, and paths of a pathos of T, with two vertices of P BL_c(T) adjacent whenever the corresponding blocks of T have a vertex in common or the edge lies on the corresponding path of the pathos or one corresponds to a block B_i of T and the other corresponds to a cut-vertex c_j of T such that c_j is in B_i; two distinct pathos vertices P_m and P_n of P BL_c(T) are adjacent whenever the corresponding paths of the pathos P_m(v_i, v_j) and P_n(v_k, v_l) have a common vertex. We study the properties of P BL_c(T) and present the characterization of graphs whose P BL_c(T) are planar; outerplanar; maximal outerplanar; minimally nonouterplanar; eulerian; and hamiltonian. We further show that for any tree T, the crossing number of P BL_c(T) can never be one.
