Advances on C-Planarity Testing of Extrovert C-Graphs

The problem of testing c-planarity of cgraphs is unknown to be NP-complete or in P. Previous work solved this problem on some special classes of c-graphs. In particular, Goodrich, Lueker, and Sun tested c-planarity of extrovert c-graphs in O(n) time [5]. In this paper, we improve the time complexity of the testing algorithm in [5] to O(n).
