Abstract
We construct an N-node graph G which has (i) a layout with area O(N) and maximum edge length O(N1/2), (ii) a layout with area O(N5/4) and maximum edge length O(N1/4). We prove for 1 ≤ f(N) ≤ (O(N1/8) that any layout for G with area Nf(N) has an edge of length Ω(N1/2/f(N)·log N). Hence G has no layout which is optimal with respect to both measures.
