On the upward book thickness problem: Combinatorial and complexity results

Among the vast literature concerning graph drawing and graph theory, linear layouts of graphs have been the subject of intense research over the years, both from a combinatorial and from an algorithmic perspective. In particular, upward book embeddings of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) form a popular class of linear layouts with notable applications, and the upward book thickness of a DAG is the minimum number of pages required by any of its upward book embeddings.
