In this paper, we provide an algorithm for traversing geometric graphs which visits all vertices and reports every vertex and edge exactly once. To achieve this, we combine a given geometric graph G with the integer lattice, seen as a graph, in such a way that the resulting hypothetical graph can be traversed using a known algorithm which is based on face routing. To overcome the problem with hypothetical vertices and edges, we develop an algorithm for visiting any k-th neighborhood of a vertex in a graph straight-line drawn in the plane using O(k log k) memory. The memory needed to complete the traversal of a geometric graph then turns out to depend on the maximum graph distance among pairs of distinct vertices of G whose Euclidean distance is greater than one and less than [Formula: see text].

A random geometric graph, [Formula: see text], is formed by choosing [Formula: see text] points independently and uniformly at random in a unit square; two points are connected by a straight-line edge if they are at Euclidean distance at most [Formula: see text]. For a given constant [Formula: see text], we show that [Formula: see text] is a distance threshold function for [Formula: see text] to have a connected subgraph on [Formula: see text] points. Based on this, we show that [Formula: see text] is a distance threshold for [Formula: see text] to be plane, and [Formula: see text] is a distance threshold to be planar. We also investigate distance thresholds for [Formula: see text] to have a non-crossing edge, a clique of a given size, and an independent set of a given size.

Abstract Given any two vertices u, v of a random geometric graph G(n, r), denote by dE(u, v) their Euclidean distance and by dE(u, v) their graph distance. The problem of finding upper bounds on dG(u, v) conditional on dE(u, v) that hold asymptotically almost surely has received quite a bit of attention in the literature. In this paper we improve the known upper bounds for values of r=ω(√logn) (that is, for r above the connectivity threshold). Our result also improves the best known estimates on the diameter of random geometric graphs. We also provide a lower bound on dE(u, v) conditional on dE(u, v).

A clique colouring of a graph is a colouring of the vertices such that no maximal clique is monochromatic (ignoring isolated vertices). The least number of colours in such a colouring is the clique chromatic number.  Given $n$ points $\mathbf{x}_1, \ldots,\mathbf{x}_n$ in the plane, and a threshold $r>0$, the corresponding geometric graph has vertex set $\{v_1,\ldots,v_n\}$, and distinct $v_i$ and $v_j$ are adjacent when the Euclidean distance between $\mathbf{x}_i$ and $\mathbf{x}_j$ is at most $r$. We investigate the clique chromatic number of such graphs.We first show that the clique chromatic number is at most 9 for any geometric graph in the plane, and briefly consider geometric graphs in higher dimensions. Then we study the asymptotic behaviour of the clique chromatic number for the random geometric graph $\mathcal{G}$ in the plane, where $n$ random points are independently and uniformly distributed in a suitable square. We see that as $r$ increases from 0, with high probability the clique chromatic number is 1 for very small $r$, then 2 for small $r$, then at least 3 for larger $r$, and finally drops back to 2.

Graphs and Algorithms International audience A geometric graph is a graph G = (V, E) drawn in the plane, such that V is a point set in general position and E is a set of straight-line segments whose endpoints belong to V. We study the following extremal problem for geometric graphs: How many arbitrary edges can be removed from a complete geometric graph with n vertices such that the remaining graph still contains a certain non-crossing subgraph. The non-crossing subgraphs that we consider are perfect matchings, subtrees of a given size, and triangulations. In each case, we obtain tight bounds on the maximum number of removable edges.

Abstract In this paper we study the treewidth of the random geometric graph, obtained by dropping n points onto the square [0,√n]2 and connecting pairs of points by an edge if their distance is at most r=r(n). We prove a conjecture of Mitsche and Perarnau (2014) stating that, with probability going to 1 as n→∞, the treewidth of the random geometric graph is 𝜣(r√n) when lim inf r>rc, where rc is the critical radius for the appearance of the giant component. The proof makes use of a comparison to standard bond percolation and with a little bit of extra work we are also able to show that, with probability tending to 1 as k→∞, the treewidth of the graph we obtain by retaining each edge of the k×k grid with probability p is 𝜣(k) if p>½ and 𝜣(√log k) if p<½.

Given a connected geometric graph G, we consider the problem of constructing a t-spanner of G having the minimum number of edges. We prove that for every real number t with [Formula: see text], there exists a connected geometric graph G with n vertices, such that every t-spanner of G contains Ω(n1+1/t) edges. This bound almost matches the known upper bound, which states that every connected weighted graph with n vertices contains a t-spanner with O(n1+2/(t-1)) edges. We also prove that the problem of deciding whether a given geometric graph contains a t-spanner with at most K edges is NP-hard. Previously, this NP-hardness result was only known for non-geometric graphs.

We prove tight crossing number inequalities for geometric graphs whose vertex sets are taken from a $d$-dimensional grid of volume $N$ and give applications of these inequalities to counting the number of crossing-free geometric graphs that can be drawn on such grids.In particular, we show that any geometric graph with $m\geq 8N$ edges and with vertices on a 3D integer grid of volume $N$, has $\Omega((m^2/N)\log(m/N))$ crossings. In $d$-dimensions, with $d\ge 4$, this bound becomes $\Omega(m^2/N)$. We provide matching upper bounds for all $d$. Finally, for $d\ge 4$ the upper bound implies that the maximum number of crossing-free geometric graphs with vertices on some $d$-dimensional grid of volume $N$ is $N^{\Theta(N)}$. In 3 dimensions it remains open to improve the trivial bounds, namely, the $2^{\Omega(N)}$ lower bound and the $N^{O(N)}$ upper bound.

AbstractRandom geometric graphs have become now a popular object of research. Defined rather simply, these graphs describe real networks much better than classical Erdős–Rényi graphs due to their ability to produce tightly connected communities. The n vertices of a random geometric graph are points in d-dimensional Euclidean space, and two vertices are adjacent if they are close to each other. Many properties of these graphs have been revealed in the case when d is fixed. However, the case of growing dimension d is practically unexplored. This regime corresponds to a real-life situation when one has a data set of n observations with a significant number of features, a quite common case in data science today. In this paper, we study the clique structure of random geometric graphs when $$n\rightarrow \infty$$ n → ∞ , and $$d \rightarrow \infty$$ d → ∞ , and average vertex degree grows significantly slower than n. We show that under these conditions, random geometric graphs do not contain cliques of size 4 a. s. if only $$d \gg \log ^{1 + \epsilon } n$$ d ≫ log 1 + ϵ n . As for the cliques of size 3, we present new bounds on the expected number of triangles in the case $$\log ^2 n \ll d \ll \log ^3 n$$ log 2 n ≪ d ≪ log 3 n that improve previously known results. In addition, we provide new numerical results showing that the underlying geometry can be detected using the number of triangles even for small n.
