摘要
We define an analogue of Schnyder's tree decompositions for 3-connected planar graphs. Based on this structure we obtain: . Let G be a 3-connected planar graph with f faces, then G has a convex drawing with its vertices embedded on the (f-1)x(f-1) grid. . Let G be a 3-connected planar graph. The dimension of the incidence order of vertices, edges and bounded faces of G is at most 3. The second result is originally due to Brightwell and Trotter. Here we give a substantially simpler proof.
