Abstract
Given a set N = {p1,...,pn} of n points in general position in the plane, and a positive integral n-vector d = (d1,...,dn) satisfying ∑ni=1di=2n - 2, can we construct a tree on N, such that the degree of point pi is di and none of the (n - 1) line segments connecting two points corresponding to endpoints of an edge intersect each other (except possibly at its endpoints)? We give a simple proof of the existence of such a tree in any instance and propose an algorithm polynomial on n for constructing one.
