Abstract in LaTeX format:
The problem of computing a maximal planar subgraph of a non planar graph has been deeply
investigated over the last 20 years. Several attempts have been tried to solve the problem
with the help of PQ-trees. The latest attempt has been reported by Jayakumar et al. [10].
In this paper we show that the algorithm presented by Jayakumar et al. is not correct. We
show that it does not necessarily compute a maximal planar subgraph and we note that the same
holds for a modified version of the algorithm presented by Kant [12]. Our conclusions most
likely suggest not to use PQ-trees at all for this specific problem.
