We establish new results on the curve complexity of k-colored point-set embeddings when . We show that there exist 3-colored caterpillars with only three independent edges whose 3-colored point-set embeddings may require bends on edges. This settles an open problem by Badent et al. [5] about the curve complexity of point set embeddings of k-colored trees and it extends a lower bound by Pach and Wenger [35] to the case that the graph only has independent edges. Concerning upper bounds, we prove that any 3-colored path admits a 3-colored point-set embedding with curve complexity at most 4. In addition, we introduce a variant of the k-colored simultaneous embeddability problem and study its relationship with the k-colored point-set embeddability problem.

关于三色点集嵌入的曲线复杂度
我们建立了关于k色点集嵌入的曲线复杂度的新结果。我们显示存在仅带有三个独立边的3色毛毛虫,它们的3色点集嵌入可能需要 弯腰 边缘。这解决了Badent等人的公开问题。[5]关于k色树的点集嵌入的曲线复杂度,它扩展了Pach和Wenger [35]的下界,使得图仅具有独立的边缘。关于上限,我们证明任何3色路径都允许3色点集嵌入,其曲线复杂度最多为4。此外,我们介绍了k色同时嵌入性问题的一种变体,并研究了其与k的关系。彩色点集可嵌入性问题。
