Abstract

The Koebe–Andreev–Thurston Circle Packing Theorem states that every triangulated planar graph has a circle-contact representation. The theorem has been generalized in various ways. The arguably most prominent generalization assures the existence of a primal-dual circle representation for every 3-connected planar graph. The aim of this note is to give a streamlined and self-contained elementary proof of this result.
