Abstract

We introduce the family of k-gap-planar graphs for k ≥ 0, i.e., graphs that have a drawing in which each crossing is assigned to one of the two involved edges and each edge is assigned at most k of its crossings. This definition finds motivation in edge casing, as a k-gap-planar graph can be drawn crossing-free after introducing at most k local gaps per edge. We obtain results on the maximum density, drawability of complete graphs, complexity of the recognition problem, and relationships with other families of beyond-planar graphs.
