Monotone Simultaneous Paths Embeddings in d

Participant : Marc Glisse.

In collaboration with O. Devillers and S. Lazard (Inria Nancy), David Bremner (University of New Brunswick, Canada), Giuseppe Liotta (University of Perugia, Italy), Tamara Mchedlidze (KIT, Germany), Sue Whitesides (University of Victoria, Canada), Stephen Wismath (University of Lethbridge, Canada).

We study[24] the following problem: Given k paths that share the same vertex set, is there a simultaneous geometric embedding of these paths such that each individual drawing is monotone in some direction? We prove that for any dimension d2, there is a set of d+1 paths that does not admit a monotone simultaneous geometric embedding.
