Obtaining a Planar Graph by Vertex Deletion
[chapter]
Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science
Preserved Fulltext
In the k-Apex problem the task is to find at most k vertices whose deletion makes the given graph planar. The graphs for which there exists a solution form a minor closed class of graphs, hence by the deep results of Robertson and Seymour [34, 35] , there is a cubic algorithm for every fixed value of k. However, the proof is extremely complicated and the constants hidden by the big-O notation are huge. Here we give a much simpler algorithm for this problem with quadratic running time, by
