Funded Activity Summary

Beyond Planarity: Algorithms for Visualisation of Sparse Non-Planar Graphs. This project aims to develop new efficient algorithms to enable analysts to visually understand complex data and detect anomalies or patterns. It aims to develop visualisation algorithms for sparse non-planar graphs arising from real-world networks. Specifically, the project plans to investigate structural properties of sparse non-planar topological graphs such as k-planar graphs, k-skew graphs, and k-quasi-planar graphs, and design efficient testing algorithms, embedding algorithms, and drawing algorithms. These algorithms will be evaluated with real-world social networks and biological networks. New insights into the mathematical interplay between combinatorial and geometric structures would provide a theoretical foundation for a new generation of complex network visualisation methods with potential applications in social networks, systems biology, health informatics, finance and security.
