Abstract

In the context of geographic routing, Papadimitriou and Ratajczak conjectured that every 3-connected planar graph has a greedy embedding (possibly planar and convex) in the Euclidean plane. Recently, greedy embedding conjecture has been resolved, though the construction do not result in a drawing that is planar and convex. In this work we consider the planar convex greedy embedding conjecture and make some progress. We show that in planar convex greedy embedding of a graph, weight of the maximum weight spanning tree (T) and weight of the minimum weight spanning tree (MST) satisfies wt(T)/wt(MST) ≤ (|V| - 1)1-δ, for some 0 d(G)], where d(G) is the ratio of maximum and minimum distance between pair of vertices in the embedding of G, and this bound is tight.
