Abstract

We initiate the study of 2.5D box visibility representations (2.5D-BR) where vertices are mapped to 3D boxes having the bottom face in the plane \(z=0\) and edges are unobstructed lines of sight parallel to the x- or y-axis. We prove that: (i) Every complete bipartite graph admits a 2.5D-BR; (ii) The complete graph \(K_n\) admits a 2.5D-BR if and only if \(n \leqslant 19\); (iii) Every graph with pathwidth at most 7 admits a 2.5D-BR, which can be computed in linear time. We then turn our attention to 2.5D grid box representations (2.5D-GBR) which are 2.5D-BRs such that the bottom face of every box is a unit square at integer coordinates. We show that an n-vertex graph that admits a 2.5D-GBR has at most \(4n - 6 \sqrt{n}\) edges and this bound is tight. Finally, we prove that deciding whether a given graph G admits a 2.5D-GBR with a given footprint is NP-complete. The footprint of a 2.5D-BR \(\varGamma \) is the set of bottom faces of the boxes in \(\varGamma \).
