    Abstract

    A 1-planar graph is a graph that can be embedded in the plane with at most one crossing per edge. It is known that testing 1-planarity of a graph is NP-complete. A 1-planar embedding of a graph G is maximal if no edge can be added without violating the 1-planarity of G. In this paper we show that the problem of testing maximal 1-planarity of a graph G can be solved in linear time, if a rotation system (i.e., the circular ordering of edges for each vertex) is given. We also prove that there is at most one maximal 1-planar embedding of G that preserves the given rotation system, and our algorithm produces such an embedding in linear time, if it exists.
