Outer-surface drawings
by
Paul C Kainen
Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Georgetown University

We consider drawings of graphs in surfaces where some closed disk in the surface intersects the graph only in its vertices and only in the boundary of the disk. Basic properties of such drawings are derived and relations to ordinary, "Mobius", and generalized book embeddings are discussed. Related to work of the author (Util. Math/Congr. Num. 1990), Archdeacon et al. (Ars Comb. 1998), Ding et al. (JCT, 2000), Bon et al. (J. Molec. Biol. 2008), and Reidys et al. (Bioinformatics, 2011).
