Abstract

For a simple drawing D of the complete graph Kn, two (plane) subdrawings are compatible if their union is plane. Let TD be the set of all plane spanning trees on D and F(TD) be the compatibility graph that has a vertex for each element in TD and two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding trees are compatible. We show, on the one hand, that F(TD) is connected if D is a cylindrical, monotone, or strongly c-monotone drawing. On the other hand, we show that the subgraph of F(TD) induced by stars, double stars, and twin stars is also connected. In all cases the diameter of the corresponding compatibility graph is at most linear in n.
