Abstract

We consider three-dimensional grid-drawings of graphs with at most one bend per edge. Under the additional requirement that the vertices be colhnear, we prove that the minimum volume of such a drawing is Θ(cn), where n is the number of vertices and c is the cutwidth of the graph. We then prove that every graph has a three-dimensional grid-drawing with 풪(n3/log2 n) volume and one bend per edge. The best previous bound was 풪(n3).
