Counting Plane Graphs: Pseudo-Flippability and Applications

We generalize the notions of flippable and simultaneously flippable edges in a triangulation of a set of N points in the plane into so called pseudo-simultaneously flippable edges and prove a worst-case tight lower bound for the number of such edges in a(ny) triangulation. Using this notion we then derive new upper bounds for the maximal number of crossing-free straight-line graphs that can be embedded on any fixed set of N points in the plane. (joint work with Micha Sharir, Adam Sheffer, Csaba D. Tóth and Emo Welzl)
