Knaster–Kuratowski fan

In topology, a branch of mathematics, the Knaster–Kuratowski fan (also known as Cantor's leaky tent or Cantor's teepee depending on the presence or absence of the apex) is a connected topological space with the property that the removal of a single point makes it totally disconnected.

Greedy embedding

For maximal planar graphs, in which every face is a triangle, a greedy planar embedding can be found by applying the Knaster–Kuratowski–Mazurkiewicz lemma to a weighted version of a straight-line embedding algorithm of Schnyder.
