Logarithmic edge-length ratios for planar drawings of 2-trees
Abstract
For a planar graph G with at least one edge, let ρ(G) be the infimum of the ratio of the longest to the shortest edge length over all planar straight-line drawings of G. We prove that every n-vertex $2$-tree G satisfies ρ(G)≤4+5⌊log2(2n−3)⌋. This improves the known O(√n) upper bound and, together with the lower bound of Blažej, Fiala and Liotta, shows that the maximum of ρ(G) over n-vertex $2$-trees is Θ(log n). The proof adapts Biedl's recursive bar construction using nonintegral heights and applies a height-preserving straightening theorem.
