Applications of a New Separator Theorem for String Graphs

An intersection graph of curves in the plane is called a string graph. Matousek almost completely settled a conjecture of the authors by showing that every string graph with m edges admits a vertex separator of size O(√m log m). In the present note, this bound is combined with a result of the author...
