English abstract:
In a fan-planar drawing of a graph an edge can cross only edges with a common end-vertex. In this
paper, we study fan-planar drawings that use h (horizontal) layers and are proper, i.e., edges connect
adjacent layers. We show that if the embedding of the graph is fixed, then testing the existence
of such drawings is fixed-parameter tractable in h, via a reduction to a similar result for planar
graphs by Dujmovic et al. If the embedding is not fixed, then we give partial results for h = 2: It
was already known how to test the existence of fan-planar proper 2-layer drawings for 2-connected
graphs, and we show here how to test this for trees. Along the way, we exhibit other interesting
results for graphs with a fan-planar proper h-layer drawing; in particular we bound their pathwidth
and show that they have a bar-1-visibility representation.
