Abstract

We present an expected polynomial time algorithm to generate a labeled planar graph uniformly at random. To generate the planar graphs, we derive recurrence formulas that count all such graphs with n vertices and m edges, based on a decomposition into 1-, 2-, and 3-connected components. For 3-connected graphs we apply a recent random generation algorithm by Schaeffer and a counting formula by Mullin and Schellenberg.
