Stabbing Faces By a Convex Curve
By: David Eppstein
Potential Business Impact:
Draws pictures where every inside space is cut by a curve.
We prove that, for every plane graph $G$ and every smooth convex curve $C$ not on a single line, there exists a straight-line drawing of $G$ for which every face is crossed by $C$.
