Abstract
A geometric graph is a graph whose vertex set is a set of points in general position in the plane, and its edges are straight line segments joining these points. We show that for every integer , there exists a constant such that the following holds. The edges of every dense geometric graph, with sufficiently many vertices, can be colored with k colors, such that the number of pairs of edges of the same color that cross is at most times the total number of pairs of edges that cross. The case when and G is a complete geometric graph, was proved by Aichholzer et al. (2019) [2].
