Abstract

In this paper we give a characterization of level planar graphs in terms of minimal forbidden subgraphs called minimal level non-planar subgraph patterns (MLNP). We show that a MLNP is completely characterized by either a tree, a level non-planar cycle or a level planar cycle with certain path augmentations. These characterizations are an important rst step towards attacking the NP-hard level planarization problem.
