Abstract

It is shown that every connected planar straight line graph with n=3 vertices has an embedding preserving augmentation to a 2-edge connected planar straight line graph with at most @?(2n-2)/3@? new edges. It is also shown that every planar straight line tree with n=3 vertices has an embedding preserving augmentation to a 2-edge connected planar topological graph with at most @?n/2@? new edges. These bounds are the best possible. However, for every n=3, there are planar straight line trees with n vertices that do not have an embedding preserving augmentation to a 2-edge connected planar straight line graph with fewer than 1733n-O(1) new edges.
