On the Complexity of Clustered-Level Planarity and T-Level Planarity

Clustered-Level Planarity is NP-complete. Reduction focused on the i-th triple $\langle \alpha,\beta,\delta\rangle$.
In this work we study two problems related to the drawing of level graphs, that is, T-Level Planarity and Clustered-Level Planarity. We show that both problems are NP-complete in the general case and that they become polynomial-time solvable when restricted to proper instances.
