gdea_3Stretching of Jordan arc contact systemsHubertde FraysseixauthorPatriceOssona de MendezauthorUsing a general resolution of barycentric systems we give a generalization of Tutte's theorem on convex drawing of planar graphs. We deduce a characterization of the edge coverings into pairwise non-crossing paths which are stretchable: such a system is stretchable if and only if each subsystem of at least two paths has at least 3 free vertices (vertices of the outer face of the induced subgraph which are internal to none of the paths of the subsystem). We also deduce that a contact system of pseudo-segments is stretchable if and only if it is extendible. M.999 Others2007Journal (Paginated)
