Crossing Numbers and Stress of Random Graphs
share
Consider a random geometric graph over a random point process in R^d. Two points are connected by an edge if and only if their distance is bounded by a prescribed distance parameter. We show that projecting the graph onto a two dimensional plane is expected to yield a constant-factor crossing number (and rectilinear crossing number) approximation. We also show that the crossing number is positively correlated to the stress of the graph's projection.
