title = "Geometric Biplane Graphs I: Maximal Graphs",
abstract = "We study biplane graphs drawn on a finite planar point set S in general position. This is the family of geometric graphs whose vertex set is S and can be decomposed into two plane graphs. We show that two maximal biplane graphs—in the sense that no edge can be added while staying biplane—may differ in the number of edges, and we provide an efficient algorithm for adding edges to a biplane graph to make it maximal. We also study extremal properties of maximal biplane graphs such as the maximum number of edges and the largest maximum connectivity over n-element point sets.",
