摘要

A complete geometric graph consists of a set P of n points in the plane, in general position, and all segments (edges) connecting them. It is a well known question of Bose, Hurtado, Rivera-Campo, and Wood, whether there exists a positive constant \(c<1\) c < 1 , such that every complete geometric graph on n points can be partitioned into at most cn plane graphs (that is, noncrossing subgraphs). We answer this question in the affirmative in the special case where the underlying point set P is dense, which means that the ratio between the maximum and the minimum distances in P is of the order of \(\Theta (\sqrt{n})\) Θ ( n ) .
