Planar graphs have many important applications in computer science, for example in VLSI layout. Many problems that are hard or even NP-complete for arbitrary graphs are much easier for planar graphs. In the next lecture we will prove a nice result due to Lipton and Tarjan in 1977 [73] which opens up planar graphs to divide-and-conquer.
