Abstract

This talk gives a survey of algorithmic techniques to solve fundamental

problems on planar graphs I/O-efficiently. The focus is on cache-aware
algorithms that strongly exploit the planarity of the given graphs. In
particular, the talk emphasizes the success of separator-based
approaches, and an I/O-efficient algorithm to compute a separator
decomposition of a planar graph will be discussed. If time permits, a
few problems that arise when trying to make these algorithms
cache-oblivious will be highlighted.
