We consider embeddings of 3-regular graphs into 3-dimensional Cartesian coordinates, in such a way that two vertices are adjacent if and only if two of their three coordinates are equal (that is, if they lie on an axis-parallel line) and such that no three points lie on the same axis-parallel line; we call a graph with such an embedding an xyz graph}. We describe a correspondence between xyz graphs and face-colored embeddings of the graph onto two-dimensional manifolds, and we relate…

Upward planar drawings with two slopes
TLDR
It is shown how to draw an upward planar phylogenetic network with two slopes such that all leaves lie on a horizontal line using SPQR-trees and the notion of upward spirality.

Graph and map isomorphism and all polyhedral embeddings in linear time
TLDR
A linear time algorithm to test the graph isomorphism of two graphs, one of which admits an embedding of face-width at least 3 into S, improves a previously known algorithm and is the first algorithm for which the degree of polynomial in the time complexity does not depend on g.

TLDR
A Las Vegas algorithm is presented which produces a book embedding of G with O(∣V ∣3/2∣E∣) volume, and single-row drawings with two bends per edge and the same volume, establishing improved bounds for the volume of 3-D orthogonal graph drawings.

Fully Dynamic 3-Dimensional Orthogonal Graph Drawing
TLDR
A layout scheme that draws any graph with n vertices of maximum degree 6, using at most 6 bends per edge and in a volume of O(n2), allowing both insertion and deletion of vertices and edges, while maintaining the volume and bend bounds.
Three-Dimensional Orthogonal Graph Drawing with Optimal Volume
TLDR
Three-dimensional orthogonal drawings are studied and lower bounds for three scenarios are provided, where the vertices have a bounded aspect ratio, the surfaces of vertices are proportional to their degrees, and without any restrictions.
3-Regular Non 3-Edge-Colorable Graphs with Polyhedral Embeddings in Orientable Surfaces
TLDR
A negative solution of Grunbaum's conjecture is presented, showing that for each orientable surface of genus at least 5, there exists a 3-regular non 3-edge-colorable graph with a polyhedral embedding in the surface.
Algorithms for Incremental Orthogonal Graph Drawing in Three Dimensions
TLDR
Two algorithms for orthogonal graph drawing in three dimensional space are presented that guarantee no crossings and can be used under an interactive setting (i.e., vertices arrive and enter the drawing on-line), as well.
Steinitz theorems for orthogonal polyhedra
TLDR
The graphs of simple orthogonal polyhedra are exactly the 3-regular bipartite planar graphs in which the removal of any two vertices produces at most two connected components.
On Rectilinear Drawing of Graphs
TLDR
This paper presents a linear time fixed-parameter tractable algorithm to test whether a degree-4 graph has a rectilinear drawing, and shows that the problem is NP-hard for the graphs that consist of 4-cycle blocks connected by single edges, as well as the case where each vertex has degree 2 or 4.
Two Algorithms for Three Dimensional Orthogonal Graph Drawing
TLDR
Two algorithms for constructing 3-dimensional, intersection-free orthogonal grid drawings of n vertex graphs of maximum degree 6 are designed and initiate the study of bend/bounding box trade-off issues for3-dimensional grid drawings.
