Computing Upward Topological Book Embeddings of Upward Planar Digraphs

This paper studies the problem of computing an upward topological book embedding of an upward planar digraph G, i.e. a topological book embedding of G where all edges are monotonically increasing in the upward direction. Besides having its own inherent interest in the theory of upward book embeddability, the question has applications to well studied research topics of computational geometry and of graph drawing. The main results of the paper are as follows.
