Bipartite embeddings of trees in the plane. (English) Zbl 0929.05021
Summary: We consider the following embedding problem. A point set $$P$$ in the plane in general position is partitioned into two disjoint sets $$R$$ and $$B$$, and we are asked to embed a tree $$T$$ in $$P$$ without crossings and with the additional property that all the edges connect a point in $$R$$ to another point in $$B$$. We study several problems related to such bipartite embeddings.
