For every graph H, there exists a polynomial-time algorithm deciding if a planar input graph G can be contracted to H. However, the degree of the polynomial depends on the size of H. We identify a class of graphs C such that for every fixed H∈C, ther... Read More about Contracting planar graphs to contractions of triangulations.
