Abstract

In this talk we digress about the strict interplay between the graph-theoretic problem of computing a Hamiltonian augmentation of a planar graph G and the graph drawing problem of embedding G onto a given set of points. We review different Hamiltonian augmentation techniques and their impact on different variants of the corresponding graph drawing problem. We also look at universal point sets, simultaneous graph embeddings, and radial graph drawings.
