Geometric Aspects of Graph Theory II

3.3. Planar graph separators:
Lipton-Tarjan's theorem and algorithm
3.4. Applications:
improvements of Maximum Independent Set, shortest paths in O(n) time.
3.5. Graph separators in higher dimensions?

-- TD:
graphs separators with application to efficient point location in planar triangulations (code provided for encoding the triangulation).
