A simple topological graph T = (V (T ), E(T )) is a drawing of a graph in the plane where every two edges have at most one common point (an endpoint or a crossing) and no three edges pass through a single crossing. Topological graphs G and H are isomorphic if H can be obtained from G by a homeomorphism of the sphere, and weakly isomorphic if G...

A d-dimensional simplex S is called a k-reptile (or a k-reptile simplex) if it can be tiled without overlaps by k simplices with disjoint interiors that are all mutually congruent and similar to S. For d=2, triangular k-reptiles exist for many values of k and they have been completely characterized by Snover, Waiveris, and Williams. On the...

In 1958, Hill conjectured that the minimum number of crossings in a drawing of Kn is exactly Z(n) = 1/4 n-1/2/2 n−2/2 n−3/2. Generalizing the result by Ábrego et al. for 2-page book drawings, we prove this conjecture for plane drawings in which edges are represented by x-monotone curves. In fact, our proof shows that the conjecture remains true...

The invisibility graph I(X) of a set X ⊆ Rd is a (possibly infinite) graph whose vertices are the points of X and two vertices are connected by an edge if and only if the straight-line segment connecting the two corresponding points is not fully contained in X . We consider the following three parameters of a set X : the clique number ω(I(X)),...
